How do you tell some one politely to shut-the-fug-up?!?

Fight fire with fire? Well you could go about it the sensible way and politely tell him that his humming is a little louder then he may realize, and has started to grate on the nerves of his officemates OR you could just start humming along to things yourself, to "get back" at him.

haha, since u are not the only person who doesn't like it, by all means tell that person.. lol Though it's his freedom to hum along, but it's also your right to protect your own interest.. haha :D Maybe your colleague doesnt realize that he's humming out of tune, and when nobody is telling him, he assumes that he's on the right track.. lol One tactful way is to find best opportunity to talk, starting with his love for music.. haha

tell him/her directly to the point of what you really want to tell him. just don't act rubbish or rude. he'd definitely understand it.

Well yes indeed, there are ways to tell people. The question naturally really should if they are going to rather work with most people. Some people just do not cave all that well with politeness. In fact, if you had asked them to do something, they would get all offended, and act like they had really no right to tell them what to do. Trust me, I have tried to politely ask people to do things in the past and they have gotten absolutely and positively snippy with me. You can try however. Sometimes it will work rather well. Just politely ask for them to please stop. That is about all you can do, without ripping the head phones off of their head and tossing them across the room. Which I would not recommend, but I've seen someone do that in the past. I thought for sure something bad was rather going to really happen. Still it can be annoying and all you can do is just politely ask them to knock it off, cross your fingers, and hope for the very best.

well, i also encounter like that if the person does not mind the person seating beside them, most of the time i am also shy to nag them. instead, just change chairs or find another places far from him. so this is me, very peaceful to avoid further arguments. some people are like that and do not have concern over other people get annoy by their behavior. the best things i do is to left the place or move farther away from those noisy seatmate.

Oh I did this so many time when I was living at boarding house years ago. Thing is I can not concentrate doing anything when people humming close to me. Just tap her/his arm if he/she can not hear you and say' excuse I need to concentrate please, and I can not do that with you humming close to my ears' I think he/shewill apologize to you for being so unconsidered.

If it was me I would just plain tell him that it don't sound as good as he thinks. I wouldn't say this aloud I would tell him in private. I am not bashful when it comes to keeping peace around me if something irritates me I will speak my peace. Better to tell him then to let someone be rude to him. Just plain tell him that it bothers you and you wish he wouldn't do it around you. And if he is any kind of a man he will stop. Good luck!

If I were in your position, I would not find it irritating at all! I would find it rather funny because of the way he sings. Do not let that person affect you in a bad way. Just relax and joke him around about his "singing," maybe he get offended in way and then stop.

It depends on the person you are talking to if there is a polite way or not. Some people can read between the lines, to others you have to be rude (in your eyes) and they still don't get the message. Tell your college you like to sit in peace, so you can hear yourself think. If he/she doesn't get the message ask if he/she can stop the humming/music and sit somewhere else. But keep in mind that your college have rights too and probably is humming because of the great mood the music gives.

Hi, I noticed you used the word "we" which means it's you not alone, which means you don't have to do this solo, what I'm trying to say is you and whoever else is being affected by his "serenading" can get together and collectively talk to him very nicely with tact letting him know that he probably isn't aware of it, but he tends to humm to his song and it's a bit distrubing, say something like this: "hey buddy can we talk to you a bit??, we don't mind you listening to your music and stuff, but it's a litle disturbng and distracting to all of us when you start to hum to it. You're proabably not even aware that you do it, but yeah, so anyway no offense meant,ok? Thanks buddy,greatly appreciated." That way you won't come out looking like a bad fellow who's a downer that can't enjoy music. Besides there's power in numbers, and if he recognises that he's affecting a group of people and not just one hopefully, because some people could be pretty insensitive, he'll see the error of his ways and stop.

Sincerity usually does wonders. You should try to speak to him and make him understand that what he does bothers you. Don't accuse or anything, tell him that you understand he enjoys listening to music but for you that only hear his humming it's not so pleasant. If you talk to him in the right way he should understand if not, move to another desk. If you talk to him being angry he probably won't stop because people tend not to do what they are told. Find a more fine approach like starting a conversation on a different topic. At the end of the day you can't make everyone happy.

This could be a very annoying situation , The best way to let him know is ,call him gently , Mr x , what kind of music is that you are listening ? it must be really interesting , he will laugh ,then tell him that the only problem is that your humming wouldn't let you concentrate ,he will apologize and stop humming .

You can pat him in the back or tap on the shoulder and ask him sincerely if he realizes his humming and distracting everyone? I think the direct approach will do wonders in this case.
