Today, and every day this week, my office mate has decided to "liven up the place" by singing and whistling Christmas tunes and other unknown songs. She has zero musical ability. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss insisted that we get in the holiday mood by putting up lights, playing Christmas music, and wearing bells on our uniforms. It's not even Thanksgiving yet and I can't even have a tinkle without full-blown jingling. FML
Today, my manager made everyone put up Christmas decorations around the store. As well as this, we're going to have Christmas music playing on repeat all the way through to January. It's not even September yet. FML
Today, at work, I was forced to listen to the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas album on repeat for 8 hours. FML
Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML
Today, after telling my bosses how much I dislike the Christmas holiday, they assigned ME to organize and host a holiday party for our whole company, with a “Mariah Carey Christmas Karaoke.” I hate Christmas. FML
Today, my neighbor installed a large radio that loudly plays Christmas music 24/7. When I called in a complaint to the police department they told me to, "get in the Christmas spirit." FML
Today, there was a karaoke at my job's Thanksgiving party. A girl sang and sounded horrible. I later told a colleague about it and said, "She sucked so bad… if I wanted to hear an animal dying, I'd go to a slaughterhouse." She was within earshot and burst into tears. Oh, and she's my boss's daughter. FML
Today, the mall I work at started playing Christmas songs on repeat. It's the beginning of November. FML
Today, my annoying and disrespectful roommate discovered Pandora. She also discovered that she can play Christmas music on Pandora. Only 23 more days until Christmas. FML
Today, at my job at the mall, our music malfunctioned and now will only play the same three songs over and over again. Our manager won't let us turn it off because "the customers won't notice". FML

I always ask, "who sings that?" and when they reply with their answer, say "Let's keep it that way."

Hmmmm this reminds me of how people keep asking what song I'm humming cuz they can't tell from my lack of tone perception.

My mother has been doing that since the beginning of november. Her singing is terrible. Not to mention since then she's been complaining our local supermarket isn't playing christmas songs yet. This holiday makes some people unbearable.

You have no idea how much you'll miss that when she's gone. You only get one mom, appreciate newer while you can.

Pretty sure someone's aloud to complain about an annoying thing their parents do. Parents complain about their kids all the time. No need to bring death into it and make him feel guilty for something that hasn't even happened.

Breaking news : Not everyone has nice parents. I was told the same thing about my father and i don't miss him one bit. Just because my mother sings the same cheesy songs for 2 months 24/7 doesn't mean she isn't abusive the rest of the time. I'm sorry, next time maybe i should put "ps: she's a jerk all the time" so people don't jump on the "be grateful you have a mom" wagon. And having only one of something doesn't make it good by the way.

Just email her some nice little sayings about her musical talent and itll go down a bit.

Put a video of her signing on YouTube and send her the link. That'll shut her up.

Or you know, you could have some respect and just ask her nicely or send her an email or something asking her to stop.

That would be considered a micro-aggression. Humiliating her on YouTube is perfectly acceptable, on the other hand Kids today!

I think signing is a respectable talent. I don't know sign language and learning the basics wouldn't hurt. OP should definitely put up YouTube videos of that. Its not like signing requires something like musical talent or whatever c;

Time to play TSO at max volume.

She likely knows that. If it makes her happy, so be it. My sister is completely tone-deaf but loves belting out songs. There are definitely worse things in the world.

Maybe she's just performing her rendition of 'cat caught in a dryer'?

Time to get a radio with Christmas music, if it's already "lively" she wont have a need to sing!
