Speak to me but keep it down

[*Lazer*]

I work with a woman who has a voice like a munchkin. I cannot stand to listen to her talk. I have tried to hide it but a co-worker commented that my facial expression resembles someone passing a kidney stone. I realized how some noises/voices just raise the hackles on my neck. I also find myself cringing when people talk very LOUDLY.

My question is this what type of voice gives you the creeps.

oh I have two kinds of voices that give me the creeps.
One is the whiney kid voice saying "Im bored". That drives me nuts
And the other is being a teacher and the agro parent comes in with a voice that you could hear half way across the Nullabore yelling " you marked my childs test wrong!"
Cringes and goes to hide under her desk.

Miss Jane Hathoway, at your service

I work with a woman who sounds EXACTLY like Miss Jane from the old Beverly Hillbillies TV show. When she first interviewed, we nicknamed her "Jane." When she was hired and started to work with us, we had a hell of a time remembering to use her real name and not call her "Jane." Of course, it didn't help that my boss imitated her saying "chief" every time her name came up in conversation. (For you babies out there, Jane was a secretary who called Mr. Drysdale, her boss, "chief.")

I've gotten used to "Jane's" voice, but every once and awhile I notice the look on the face of a person who just met her for the first time, and I know just what they are thinking! LOL

Someone who has a voice that says the SAME tone... even if they get mad. One that can put you to sleep during lectures.

And the overdone southern accent.

There's a guy at my job that whistles all the time and I mean ALL THE TIME. Loudly too. He once had the cops called on him because he was doing some work outside and somebody in one of the houses across the street called and said he was keeping their kids up. I've thought on more than one occasion about killing the guy.

over done southern accent.????

jadedpast76 you would not enjoy talking to me than.!!!

I was on my way to Moab one time when i stopped at a roadside restaurant. When i asked for a menu, a waitress
from across the room called out "WHAT PART OF EAST TEXAS ARE Y'ALL FROM.? She had lived about fifty miles from
where i live for most of her life.

As i have a soft voice and a realy bad east texas drawl
i am sure i would get on your nerves or you just might..
"bust out laughing" In which i would not take offense at.

I knew a man and his wife from Kentucky one time {business
realated} i could listen to those two talk for hours.
