georgia2 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 If someone close to you hummed a lot. The humming is not a song or tune just arbitrary notes. If it were a song it would be pleasant but because its just notes it seems WEIRD to me. Thoughts? Quote
skippy740 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Usually, if you have to ask the question... yes. Quote
Guest Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 LOL yes. I have sound issues and that would drive me to blind rage in no time. Quote
JosephP Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Try saying random words when they hum their random notes, and when they ask you what you're doing you can explain you're singing along. Edited December 2, 2012 by JosephP Quote
SanctitasDeo Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Yes, that would be horribly annoying. Quote

Backroads Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Probably. Though... I have a tick where I do hum. I don't do notes--mine is pure white-noise one-note humming. I rarely catch myself when I'm doing it. I really can't help it. Quote
annewandering Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 I find myself humming, hmmming to random notes, or just singing random notes often. Not being any good at it I suppose it might annoy people but my husband tells me he doesnt pay any attention to it. Maybe you could ask them to actually sing something or just start singing and maybe they will join? Or turn on some music? :) Quote
dahlia Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 Yes it would bother me. In fact, if I had to work in close proximity to such a person, it would take all my resolve not to smack them stupid every time they started with that garbage. Quote
Rapidmc Posted December 2, 2012 Report Posted December 2, 2012 This reminds me of a bird a roomate of mine had. It would sing the first part of "pop goes the weasle" and not finish the song. Over and over. Very annoying. Maybe you should try it. Quote

If it were a song it would be pleasant but because its just notes it seems WEIRD to me. Thoughts?Humming, nail biting, singing loudly, chewing with their mouth open, lip smacking every .5 seconds, using whiney voice on purpose, crinkling paper/wrappers constantly, playing their music too loud at the wrong time of day, saying um/uh/like every 5 seconds in a presentation....I could go on.

MsMagnolia Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 I actually had a coworker that did this all the time. It drove me nuts!!! It didn't help that she also had no concept of personal space. Quote
Dr T Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) My son doesn't hum "I'm just singing with my mouth closed" he said. Edited December 8, 2012 by Dr T Because Pammy pointed out my typo of "she" vs. "he" Quote
Gargantuan Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I once worked in a university library and we always had students who did that and the rule was to ask them to be quiet. It would, however, bother me, especially if I were fishing, and I might say that the fish can hear those sounds. With my quick sense of humor, however, I would probably end-up laughing at the obnoxious sounds. Edited December 3, 2012 by Gargantuan Editit Quote
pam Posted December 3, 2012 Report Posted December 3, 2012 My son doesn't hum "I'm just singing with my mouth closed" she said. My son and she said? Quote

I have suggested they get a particular song in their head to hum to but I'm the meanie getting annoyed at someone being lighthearted. Or so that's what I'm accused of. Quote

You've got it! Chewing and lip smacking AND crinkling wrappers while you're trying to listen to something? This person does them all! Ick Quote

Guest SquidMom Posted December 4, 2012 Report Posted December 4, 2012 I would have to say something.... Quote
