My husband hums when he is mixing stuff in the kitchen.

Like old lady humming.
Mixing foods such as flour, meatloaf, cookie mix. Even stirring soup on the stove top.
I asked why he did that. He said because it's funny.
Then he gets a bit mad.
Why is it funny?
I came to this country in 1975. Could there have been a cartoon where a mouse mixed and hummed at the same time? A lot of things I missed out in life from not watching american tv when I was little.
Could it be an american thing?
I've asked him twice. If I ask him again, he is going to pop on of those forehead veins.
To me it's a turnoff and I stopped asking him for help in the kitchen.

My husband sings in the kitchen. I'm just thrilled he's such a help. Couldn't care less about the singing.6

Yes I believe it was in a cartoon from when I was little, It may have been Tom and Jerry but I'm not sure2

I love it when people hum. I find it lifts my spirits. I would be thrilled to have someone humming in my kitchen while prepping food. Humming is something people do when they are happy. Seems sad to discourage this.11

My husband thinks he is Pavoratti when cooking, amazing how he never hits a note ever. It's sexy, his cooking!5
-
My dad used to hum all day.
I'd give anything to hear him humming again.

I love my husband's little quirks and appreciate his help. Its sad that you're trying to squash his little quirk.9

I have a friend who occasionally compares certain things her husband does to those of an old woman and considers it a huge turn off. I don't get it completely, but I also don't think it's that easy to control what turns us on or turns us off.0

I whistle.
Started when the MIL stayed for too long.
One of the muppets used to sing and hum when cooking.2 -
I see that no one has asked the obvious.3

Are you married to Dr. Zeuss?1

Just be happy that he's happy.
My husband is the dorkiest dancer ever, but I'll never tell him that or ask him not to dance when he's just being happy.
If it really drives you crazy, put on some music you both like and share a glass of wine as you cook together.

The video isn't great quality, but I really enjoyed the series when it was on air.2 -
My guy sings "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" in his best stage baritone (he was in theater at uni) when he washes the dishes. When I first moved in with him and I came home from a long day's work and he was doing that ... I knew he was a keeper.7

American born in 1974. Watched tv all through childhood. I don't remember a humming mouse.
I don't hum when I cook. I do listen to music or podcasts and have been known to sing or dance while cooking.
I'd leave him alone and let him cook his way. It is a minor thing.3 -
My mother and grandmother used to hum and sing while in the kitchen. Boy, do I miss that, and both of them.
Don sings in the kitchen too, and sings lots of other places. I love his quirky personality too.
I love singing and humming.3 -

And people think it's unrealistic for characters in musicals to randomly burst into song... some of us do it all the time.8

I need to sing more often.5

My husband likes to sing at the top of his lungs when he's watching music videos on his laptop. He's wearing earbuds so you can't actually hear the song, just his enthusiastic rendition of it.
Problem is he can't carry a tune in a bucket, poor man. But what he lacks in talent, he makes up for in sheer gusto. My daughter and I usually roll our eyes at each other, but we know it makes him happy, so we keep our thoughts to ourselves.
I did draw the line one day when he chose to wail out "Muskrat Love" at full volume, though. Quite possibly the worst song ever written, lyric-wise. It was impressive that he actually knew every single horrific word to that old chestnut, but I did go over to him, pull out one of his earbuds and say, "Muskrat Love? Are you actually kidding me??"
For you youngins who have no idea what I'm talking about, listen and weep:

The stereotypical cook/chef always hums/sings while they cook. Like practically every cook, nanny, granny and Aunt Bea in every movie or TV show will hum-hum-hum-hum-hummmmm while they cheerily go about the business of cooking/baking.
What concerns me is that you actually have a husband who cooks and instead of just appreciating that simple blessing, you want to sap the joy out of it for him just because you don't think his humor is funny.6 -
