to want to bludgeon colleague for humming/singing, (trivial)

[qazxc]

WIBU to bludgeon my colleague? She has been half humming half singing all morning. The thing that gets me is that she picks out a line out of a song and hums or sings over and over. sometimes there is a break and then it starts again, so now when she stops i am on edge as to when it will resume. I don't know what song it is as it is sung/hummed badly. I am considering that the incident report and health and safety review might be worth the "accident". or else i could just be hormonal (pregnant) and cranky, would it drive you mad?

It would drive me crackers. But I wouldn't bludgeon :-)
Are you allowed to/would it be at all possible for you to listen to an ipod or similar?

YWNBU to bludgeon your colleague. This is clearly unreasonable behaviour on her part. I am sure any reasonable jury would be on your side.

Do it back but pick a really annoying song (bucks fizz/Bros/Sclub7 etc)
Or
Record her and play it back to show how annoying it is.

I think she already has an annoying song. It might be one direction but i'm not sure.

Well if you're not going to bludgeon here [wuss emiticon], then you need to cultivate an equally annoying habit. Perhaps randomly drumming your fingers?

YADNBU - the only thing more annoying than a humming colleague is a whistling one.

Kill them. It'd be an act of public service. Wasn't it St. Theresa of Avila that wrote that she wanted to throttle another nun for rattling her rosary beads? YADNBU.

YANBU at all.

A former colleague used to loudly sing single lines from the crappiest songs repeatedly and without warning like a parrot.

I don't know how we both survived the release of Mambo No 5.

I've got a single line of .... Chuggington chugga chugga chuggington going round and round my head today maybe I need to bludgeon myself !

Are you sure said colleague is not coughing every few minutes???

If so I am said girl - I'm annoying myself with the damn thing so dread to think what I'm doing to my work mates..........I would glady welcome a bludgeoning, might take my mind off coughing my lungs up every few mins!

I feel for you OP. I have a whistling colleague. He doesn't whistle a tune, it's just one high pitched note, held for a few seconds. Like you, when he stops, I am on edge waiting for him to start again. It's torture. The worst part, was that I didn't notice for weeks until another colleague pointed it out to me. I now want to bludgeon both colleagues
