AIBU to scream this to my H?

Every single bastard song/tune/jingle, he has to hum along. Sometimes he will sing, sometimes not, usually just a mix of the two.

He is a good singer, he performs professionally on a very part time basis, but the constant fecking humming is driving me crackers!

He has just sung along to fecking Kylie, and I want to hurt someone!

Meanwhile I will now do 50 lines on the difference between 'your' and 'you're' Blush

ShouldaWouldaCoulda · 02/11/2012 08:07

Yes YABU cause I do this Grin
It used to piss off my partner no end mwahhahahaaa

I love singing.

My parents do this to different songs at the same time. I have no patience for it and often feel like I'm under some kind of Chinese torture....especially when ONE word of a song is thrown in!

Proudnscary · 02/11/2012 08:13

Bogey, humming in a proper 'humming along to a song' way is acceptable. Humming in a fill-the-silence, tuneless, habitual way is most certainly not.

One of my team at work does a sort of nervous 'choo ch choo' noise (hard to explain in writing - that noise you make when you're thinking about something like 'Ummm...choo ch choo...Ok we'll do this'.

ALL THE TIME.

I am itchy just thinking about it

SpectralMissSpooky · 02/11/2012 08:44

We're a family of hum and singalongers >_<

I'll try to get the minions to keep the noise down!

Is your husband Steve Wright?

MrsCantSayAnything · 02/11/2012 08:48

I think a lot of these constant noise makers would be assessed for all kinds if they were in school today!

StuntGirl · 02/11/2012 10:15

Opera?!

My pet hate is when you're in the car, and you start quietly singing along to whatevers playing, and then every fucker else joins jn

WofflingOn · 02/11/2012 10:42

I live in a family of whistlers, singers and general musical noises. Including opera and heavy rock. And assorted instruments.

'My parents do this to different songs at the same time.'

This, however, is banned. Completely. You have to go to a different room if you want to make a different noise to the one that's already happening in the room.
Also, no warbling after midnight or MummyGremlin will do unpleasant things.

Bogeyface · 02/11/2012 16:06

He does it in the car alot and that really winds me up because if I have put music on its because I want to hear it, not him!

DH sings all the wrong words. Always.

I have a regular appointment at Outpatients to get my nails removed from the fleshy part of my palms....

I HATE whistlers!! In my younger years I was trapped on a bus with a whistler. Inaine whistling for the whole trip like we all wanted to listen to his lovely tune.,,,,,,

SCOTCHandWRY · 02/11/2012 16:20

There's a shop assistant in my local village shop who hums constantly. She always seems to be working when I pop in for chocolate essential items, and usually by the time I get to the front of the Q, I'm ready to commit murder. I have no Idea why, maybe she hums in a particularly murder inducing pitch or toneHmm

ginhag · 02/11/2012 16:20

DS1 sings 'altogether now' from the yellow submarine CONSTANTLY.

I win.

CouthyMowEatingBraiiiiinz · 02/11/2012 16:36

Nope. I have 3 DC's with Autism, who all whistle/hum along to different songs AT THE SAME TIME. Even the 21mo now.

It's like having it in fucking cinema surround sound.

And I hate it at the best of times.

I WIN.

CouthyMowEatingBraiiiiinz · 02/11/2012 18:13

And OP - YANBU. I would acquit you even if your 'D'H was found with a fork in his head! Grin

dontquotem3 · 02/11/2012 18:32

My mum does this and there isn't even music playing. Drives me to distraction. Yanbu

TantrumsAndBalloons · 02/11/2012 18:34

My DH sings along to every single song he hears

Sadly he doesn't know any of the words. So he makes them up.

It makes me want to ban music.

JudeFawley · 02/11/2012 18:37

Hummers and whistlers

Old men that do fancy warbly whistling

GlaikitFizzog · 02/11/2012 18:39

The midwife on my post natal ward hummed all the fucking time when I was in having ds. 4 days I had to put up with it. Lucky for her I had a cs and couldn't move very fast or she may have found my fist shoved down her throat to remove the vital organ that was producing the god awful noise. :o

WineGoggles · 03/11/2012 18:32

I can't stand people noise. I enjoy peace and quiet. I live alone. It's the only way I can stay sane Grin

FermezLaBouche · 03/11/2012 18:36

A friend's recent FB status update:

"Someone in the next cubicle is humming. Humming I tell you. Yet if I stabbed him to a messy death I would be the criminal."

Bit extreme even though I felt his pain!
