At the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, there lies an infrequent interspecific relationship at all dining commons. Although the relationship occurs infrequently, it still occurs from time to time. Whenever students are dining at the dining commons, and in the kitchen glassware is broken, the sound is usually capable of reaching into the dining rooms where the students can hear it.
When glassware or silverware is broken, it is sometimes followed by an applause. Yet this does not happen all the time. In fact, the reaction is quite inconsistent even amongst each dining commons.
For example, in dining commons closer to the southwest region of campus, the applause is usually louder and cheering can typically be heard as well. Yet in dining commons closer to the northeast region of campus, the applause is much quieter (if at all), and usually consists of scattered clapping. Yet across all dining commons, a common factor includes the possibility of no clapping occurring.
The reaction varies by the time of day as well. It’s much more likely that an applause is heard during night time, compared to day time. From personal experience and other testimonies from other UMass students, very few have actually heard an applause occur following the breakage of glassware during the day, yet at night it’s much more likely to occur.
