Humming all day long

[Anikaca77]

Ok Humming is annoying but how about when you hear your boss taking a dump after lunch everyday Monday-Friday! 1 p.m. comes and I'm just hoping that whatever I had for lunch will stay down.

Yup just think about that for a while. I won't go into details but let's just say it's so loud that even if I try to hold my ears shut I can still hear it.

Yet to boot it's right in the enterance way of our building.

There is a lady who works at the local pet store here who hums CONSTANTLY. If she is not actually speaking, she is humming ... even between sentences when YOU are speaking. But she is such a sweet lady, everyone just thinks its cute.

Humming doesn't really bother me that much. My mom hummed a lot when I was growing up, so I'm used to it. And it seems rather soothing to me, I suppose because I associate it with my mom.

Whistling tends to drive me crazy, though. I don't mind if it's soft and in tune. My husband whistles all the time, if he is happily doing something. I want to strangle him. He is very loud, off-key and whistles the same verse over and over and over. I feel bad telling him to stop, because he's just being happy and doesn't even realize he is doing it. But how much "Green Sleeves" or the theme from the Muppets can one take?

My husband is a whistler too. If we are listening to music while doing something he stridently whistles along like a crazed songbird. Geesh! I understand the strangling urge, but he is happy and helping out so I don't say anything. Last time it happened I lowered the music and he whistled more softly - but if your hubby is whistling without accompanyment (is that a word?) then this won't work for you. Perhaps turning some music ON will divert his attention from his current tune (it's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights!)
