What To Do With Unusual Hadiths?
I’ve seen many hadiths that i find a bit weird. Here are some of them:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: ‘Ha’, Satan will laugh at him.”
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3289
In-book reference : Book 59, Hadith 98
USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 54, Hadith 509
along with other saying ‘Satan stays in your nose, Satan urinates in the nose of those who don’t pray Fajr’
‘Satan passes winds when adhan is given’
What to do about these types of hadiths?

There’s nothing to be done. If anything related to religion is discussed in a narration that doesn’t make sense then you can ask a scholar who might be able to present an explanation. Regardless, when one reads narrations with the correct understanding of the nature of the entire hadith corpus then such issues do not pose any problem.
Please refer to the video below from 41:28 till the end to understand the nature of hadith narrations in general:
