I have a new Chinese work “colleague” and she’s always singing some Chinese BS. Now I don’t mind people making noise but WTF it sounds terrible.
It’s like “Sha shiii chiii chaaa shhhhhhhhsshhhh ching shhhhshshhhhsh” I spoke to my other colleague and he said he doesn’t mind it, even though she sounds terrible.

What would you do? She seems very traditional Chinesey and is going to take offense if I tell her to SHUT THE FARK UP.

WTF she's at it right now!

I've tried to ignore it but it's soooooo bad, I can't any more.

Not only does she sing like a crow dying... when she eats she makes a noise like some kind of pig at a trough.

And the freak also talks to herself!!!! Or maybe it's the singing.

If bad singing at work is acceptable, surely playing music to yourself 'quietly' is acceptable too; find some really heavy metal to play.

Sh!t in her work desk draw

Failing that leave a dead horses head on her work station with a note on it saying stop the singing when she leaves one night

Easy start singing the Joe Dolce song "Shut up your face"



What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect.

It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.

Ah, shaddap-a you face!

That's-a my mama, I can remember.
Big accordion solo.
Ah! Play dat again, Really nice, really nice!

Soon-a come-a day, gonna be a big-a star.

Den I make-a TV shows and-a movies.
Get-a myself a new car, but still I be myself I don't want-a to change a t'ing, still a-dance and a-sing.

I t'ink about-a mama, she used to say:

What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect.
What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad? It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.

Ah, shaddap-a you face

Mama, she said it all-a da time.
What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect.
What-a you t'ink you do? Why you look-a so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place.

Ah, shaddap-a you face

That's-a my mama!

Hello, everybody!
'At's out-a dere in-a radio and-a TV land.
Did you know I had a big-a hit-a song in-a Italy with-a disc Shaddap-a you face?

I sing-a dis-a song, all-a my fans applaud.
Dey clap-a da hands, dat-a make me feel-a so good
You ought to learn-a dis-a song, it's-a real-a simple.
See, I sing: "what's-a matter you?"
You sing: "Hey!"
Den I sing-a da rest and den at de end, we can all-a sing: "Ah, Shaddap-a you face!"

O.k., let's-a try it, really big!

Uno, duo, tre, quatro

What's-a matter you? Hey! Gotta no respect. Hey!
What-a you t'ink you do? Hey!
Why you look-a so sad? Hey!
It's-a not so bad. Hey! It's-a nice-a place.
Ah, shaddap-a you face!

OK one more-a time for mama!

Wow, never thought I'd read so much hostility on someone being happy @work! Settle down mo-fos.

Ask her to teach you the lyrics & you can become a duet! You might also get a bit of culture.

Btw, I used to sing whilst I work (also can't hold a tune), it was when I was enjoying what I was doing...and when no-one else was around.

A lot of the above advice is quite good. ****ting in her draw has it's risks. If you take that one up I suggest you remove the drawer, after work and do it in the toilet. Getting sprung would be very embarrasing.

What it boils down to is you are going to have a frank word with her.You may risk hurting her feelings but that pales if you let it fester and lose your cool down the track.

Earplugs also crossed my mind. They could be used for all sorts of other excuses as well.

If I was you Flysurfer I would pull my head in and hope like hell that this young lady and your company don't get wind of this forum topic. You could line up as the cause of a nice big payout for discrimination/harassment in her favour and from what I read that could be fully justified. Just because its behind her back doesn't diminish the intent.

Nah.. blast Joe Dolce (massive seller all over the world - even today!).
If no luck, sh!t in her shoe.. put that in the drawer and then sing Sweet child o' mine in falsetto.. for 8 hrs.


Er.. being serious for a moment, surely she cannot expect to defend singing to the distraction of colleagues and should understand if (politely) asked to refrain?

If not see the 1st para.

Is she hot?...... because that'd really affect the way i dealt with it.

if she's not hot i'd ridicule her and sing terribly and do a bad piss take of her.
if she is hot: i'd sing harmony

She's about as ugly as ugly gets... teeth are even blackish... proper country Chinese... if she were hot, I wouldn't be asking.

I think we may have sorted it out, went like this.

Colleague1: ahhh so you like to sing? (walking by her desk)
Singing colleague: Oh yes.
.....
Colleague1: Me too but I'm so bad I only do it in the shower.
Colleague2: And I only in the car, cos my kids tell me to shut up at home.
....
....
Me: I'll buy you a karaoke machine when you leave, until then stfu.

A very good mate of mine took retribution on a much disliked work colleague at Yoplait in Echuca.

He was the QA manager. One evening over a few too many brews with the R&D man they hatched out a plan.

The following day they ejaculated into test tubes and emptied the contents into the man's sandwiches.

My mate said it was one of the most satisfying things he ever watched.

He took a redundancy three years ago. Was on 1.2 million per annum. Very creative he is!

I guess you have to know the guy to find it funny but it does serve as a warning not to piss people off at work and I thought it mentionable after the ****ting in the drawer suggestion which I see also got red thumbed.

The same guy jambed the photocopier while copying his bare arse and was locked up for setting haystacks on fire with a bow and arrow.

Like I say, creative.
