AIBU to ban both the cup song and loud breathing in my presense?

Seriously, if I have to listen to either the tap tap tap or the huff huff of noisy breathing (DD has hayfever and keeps doing what I can only describe as the opposite of sniffing), I am going to murder someone.

We have just sat down to watch a lovely family film together and both older DC are tap tap tap sniff sniff sniff.

DH is laughing at me because I have just said to them that any cup songing or breathing will mean they have to leave the room. He says I might be being slightly intolerant. I don't think so.

AIBU?

I've got my ticket for the long way round..........Grin

Sorry! That song is now banned in my house, I just can't bear it.

YANBU (passes earplugs)

My entire class were doing the flipping cup song on the last day of term - it was banned pretty much instantly.

3 of my kids were constantly doing that damn song, drove me mad, fortunately the craze seems to have stopped now. YANBU about that.
I think you may be U to send a child out of the room because they have hay fever, or have I misunderstood that bit.

I.hate.that.fucking.song

My (otherwise delightful) eldest charge was obsessed with it...I had to start serving drinks before they reached the dinner table otherwise in the time it took for me to grab the jug of water, the cup would be upside down and being banged on

Then the 3 yo started doing it.......

There was the memorable time, after being asked about(.literally) 20 times, I grabbed the cup and threw it at in the sink...where apon impact it shattered into hundreds of bits which I then spent forever cleaning up...

It's not the hayfever that's the problem, or even the sniffing (I can just about tolerate that). It's when she does a forceful BLOW out of her nose into the air, or worse, onto me .

Disgusting child.

I actually wouldn't mind if they were singing along , they just do the tap tap tapping, cupless.

You will all hate this then Grin

I was upstairs hearing the arguments artistic discussions and frankly was surprised they ever finished it.

ShellingPeas · 21/07/2013 13:29

Oh my, now I know what my DD has been doing for the last while.

pianodoodle · 21/07/2013 13:36

I have no idea what the cup song is but I think I can still safely say YANBU :)

SirChenjin · 21/07/2013 13:40

YANBU

DD (almost 14) is spending the summer in her bedroom knocking out the cup song every 15 minutes and straightening her hair. I have developed a tic below my right eye as a result of the constant tap tap tap tap tap. Curse that film's existence.

The cup song is bliss.

In our house it has been replaced by a interesting bloody ways to die or whatever it is called....argggghhhh

Turniptwirl · 21/07/2013 14:55

Cup song yanbu

Heavy breathing due to hayfever yabvu

Justforlaughs · 21/07/2013 15:28

I didn't know that there WERE words to the cup song - at least I haven't had to tolerate my DC's wonderful totally off key singing as well! Grin
