Shut up Shut Up Shut Up!!!!

[candyshopgirl]

So I was at plato's closet looking at some band shirt for the hubby(can't beat $5.00 for a Led Zeppelin shirt).Well this moron was looking at them too and when he got down to where I was,he started singing along (with the music playing in the store)at the top of his lungs. I just politely told him to take a hike,which he did.But I watch him a few mins later do it to someone else,they moved to get away from him.And he stopped.So I assumed this was the snot waffles way of getting people out of his way. So people need to grow the f**K up.

I work with people who whistle and sing all night long. I mean, I understand it's a horrid, boring shift, and whatever can keep you awake must help, but it really annoys me. I'm one of those people who cringe at the sound of whistling. And people who whistle for several minutes doing different songs.....or people who sound like bad American Idol tryouts.......it just makes me cringe. I already have to deal with a downstairs neighbor who warbles and plays a guitar, then I go to work and listen to people whistle and sing/hum horribly for 8 hours.

It's a wonder I haven't cut my ears off yet.

I work with people who whistle and sing all night long.

Heh...when I was at the print factory hanging paper, I taught myself Skin a Cat, Old Dun Cow, and several Weird Al tunes (Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White is surprisingly difficult to keep the verses in order) by singing to myself. Of course, the printing press was so loud that you couldn't hear me unless you got within about ten feet of me.

Hee, When I get to work alone, in a big empty building, I sing as much as I want and as badly as I want (I admit, my singing sucks so I don't expose other people to it)! Phantom of the Opera is a favorite of mine

I've found that singing "Is It Peace Or Is It Prozac?" will get me a private elevator within 2 floors.

I'm psychiatric now... it just happened, I don't know...
I was cruising along at a reasonable clip
When... BANG! ZOOM! I lost my grip!
And I'm psychiatric now...

If you sing 'Still Alive' by Johnathan Coulton in public, people give you funny looks.

If a fellow game nerd joins in, the both of you get lots of space to continue whatever it was you braved the sun to do

But yeah, I like to sing along with music I'm listening too, but it puts those strangled cats to shame so I don't inflict that on other people...

[lupo pazzesco]

Yay, JoCo!!

I personally like to sing Skullcrusher Mountain, and, after getting some of his songs of his site, I have cut down the song Re: Your Brains. It is now the ringtone I hear whenever my work calls me.

"All we wanna do is eat your brains! We're not unreasonable, I mean no one's gonna eat your eyes..."

I still maintain First of May is awesome, mostly because it's the only song I know that correctly and astoundingly manages to use the phrase in flagrante delecto.

That, sir, is full of WIN!

I used to sing "Sit on My Face" and the Monty Python Penis song to the truckers over the CB.

Man, those guys sure can whoooooooooooooop!

It's free to DL for Rockband. I looooove having that pop up during a game. Portal was awesome. I wish I could have played it myself. Alas, first person shooters make me voilently nauseous so I had to experience it vicariously through others.


That song and Skull Crusher Mountain are hysterical.

I used to sing "Sit on My Face" and the Monty Python Penis song to the truckers over the CB.

In High School my friends and I used to sing every Monty Python song we could as we were waiting for class to start in the morning.

You get a win from me for this! I sadly, no longer remember all the words.

Candyshopgirl, blas...I feel your pain on the whistling. I don't know why, but it irritates the crap out of me, too.

[SilverOrb]

*looks abashed* I'm a geeky lil Silver... This was only last year (I'm in my mid 20's)

And I still remember both songs word for word.

And the Fresh Prince song (Wow did I just age myself!!!)

[Anakah]

I HATE when people whistle. I cringe everytime.

[Becks]

I get paranoid when people whistle.

The MOTH® whistles when he's upset. (Not that he takes it out on me, mind you.)

When I hear people whistling randomly at work, I just want to ask them what's the matter.

I don't know if Portal deserves to be thrown in with other FPS games... it's really a puzzle game from the FP perspective... but there's no running aobut shooting people or any weapons other than the portal 'gun' if you could call it that.

[Broomjockey]

I don't know if Portal deserves to be thrown in with other FPS games...

Well, if nausea's the issue, it probably doesn't matter if there's shooting or not. It's the motion that does it. I get that watching some FPS games (but not while I'm playing, oddly enough).
