Singing in work...

helimachoptor

Ok so while pottering abotu my work each day, I jack myself into youtube and listen to my playlist. Now I work in a cube farm when i'm in my companys office but there is usually not anyone within 10 feet of me so I usually sing along quietly. But today there's a guy sitting across from me and i'm still singing and he keeps throwing me dirty looks!

Who else sings?

I do all the time, singin along with the radio gets me throught the day. Have to be careful bout who's on the phone though. There's 3 of us in the office, it usually ends up with the lyrics being changed to horrible things happening to the bosses!

You are wrong.

I'm a singer myself, but trying to control it. Read somewhere that singing made it to the list of 10 most annoying work habits. I have to say I agree with it.

i do, it passes the time, but they tell me to shut up:(

it bugs me when people hum tho

Whistling bothers me moreso.... I don't know why.. but if I hear someone wandering the corridor whistling randomly its like nails on a blackboard.

Singing I don't mind too much

Slightly off topic so I may be forgiven!

Ever hum the first few bars of a song beside someone and hear them singing the song for the rest of the day? Evil...

Only last week, my 5-year-old daughter's teacher approached me about her very annoying habit of bursting into song in the middle of lessons!:o

Stooopid teacher. Tell your daughter when she does it next time to sing louder!! She's 5 for gods sake. :rolleyes:

I'd probably murder the person if i had to work with someone that sings.

We all sing in the office - perhaps not at the same time but if we like a song on the radio. Though there is that one person who manages to put an annoying song in my head all day.

We play at it in my office.

Come in, hum whistle or sing (to yourself) the cheesiest chune you can think of and then wait for someone else to start up.

A day with Westlifes "I'm flying without wings" floating about your head is enough to drive a person insane.

We have a singer in the office and it is very very annoying. Not that bad if you aren't actually doing any work it actually becomes comical some times, but when you are trying to figure something you just want to stangle somebody.

Did anyone else interpret this as jack off, or am I just ****ed?

What about phantom drummers, who think because they tap on their desk with two pens they're Phil Collins (and I bet he's, for most of them, their favourite drummer)?

Yeah you're fcuked! How does one jack himself into YouTube without short circuiting the pc and sticking the keys together??

theres a few great ones for that. funkytown and of course "the cheeky girls"

I hum a few bars of a tune but nothing more. It is the whistlers that annoy me.

I am pie

We have a combined drummer / hummer.

If looks could kill.

I think its pretty selfish thing to do in the office to be honest. Its very hard to concentrate when someone is humming or singing...

Even worse though is when someone is listening to music at a high volume and they have crappy earphones. Everyone can hear their crap taste in music... Same on buses etc.

I get earphones that keep the sound in, so only I can hear my crap music

It drives me insane when people sing in the office, especially people who can't sing or when they start singing when you're trying to have a conversation. Thank **** for Shure in ear monitors blocking out everything </shill>

now now , lets not get fight over this! the office is big enough for us all:D

Singing can be irritating when the person hasn't got a note in their head. Whistling is just annoying, full stop. But the thing that gets me the most is......people drumming their fingers on a desk! (or table, whatever) I actually have to leave the room
