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.

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

    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.

    I whistle.

    Started when the MIL stayed for too long.

    One of the muppets used to sing and hum when cooking.

    I see that no one has asked the obvious.

    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. <3

    I know it's off topic, but this reminds me of this:

    The video isn't great quality, but I really enjoyed the series when it was on air.

    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.

    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.

    My dad used to hum all day.

    I'd give anything to hear him humming again. :(
