Sounds like a bully to me that doesn't understand personal space but her own. She gets you fired for a relaxation technique that doesn't help the work enviornment but disturbs it? She must have someone in mind inline for your job.

You can ask to be moved or wear noise canceling headphones that have a microphone that will plug into the telemarket phone if possible.

Sometimes I think for this reason your better off working at home. Especially when there's a group of people there's bound to be some problem in most cases. Depending on your home situation your likely to be able to control your own environment like heat, cold, and noise. I'v been off work for two years and the thought of going back somewhere. I almost don't want to do it anymore. I wander how she may feel knowing that this is on the internet and its about here. I really hope you don't in trouble. But really, we've had these problems too in our work place. For one I would not hesitate anymore to just go ahead and record her But be careful. 1) If you feel comfortable, because confronting people esp. co-workers is not easy and you fear it leading to other problems. Gently and just like your having a normal conversation with her. Approach her about it, but make sure you come out with the I message. Watch the word your. But make sure you let her know that it bothers you. Then/or go to your immediate supervisor. But don't waste a lot of time because tension and dislike will build up in you. Good luck. Or try to move away if possible.

Just talk to her bro communication is key God will take care of the rest

Bennett, although I know we don't work together I also know that I am that"crazy person". I've already told one bad earworm story in another post so here is a second. For whatever medical reason that I am unable to explain a song or a piece of the last song I heard will get stuck in my head and I will hum it incessantly until something finally bumps it out. One morning I was blessed with having "Baby Got Back" stuck there and didn't realize how everyone was bothered by it until a teammate 30 years my junior joined in. Needless to say, lesson learned. I am sure there are less drastic methods of informing your coworker that she is distracting but Maurice's method worked on me without offending me.

Well I would talk to her, she may not be aware that she is loud, to her she not because she cannot herself, and stop calling her crazy, you already being rude you posted the statement, so why not go to her, and if that doesn't work, then take it higher up, she sound like she just happy.

Have you perhaps asked her how she is feeling emotionally? I mean some people can join and sing due to trauma or depression in their life, I sing whenever I have the nerve to cry in public by accident, maybe the music helps her be happy because she is suffering through something really bad, so in My opinion I feel like you should get to know the reason as to why she is listening to the music, and hey you never know what you can find right? (:

Have you perhaps asked her if she is going through something rough in her life? I song and human out loud as well and usually it's when I'm feeling really depressed and want to feel better, perhaps get to know her more?? This is my suggestion and you have to ask yourself, "what is normal?! "

I HAVE IT!!!!........don't tattle or be rude.......make a little game of it. Ask her to switch places with you for a few minutes and have another coworker talk with her on the phone and you put in your headphones and begin to sing and/or hum. When she realizes it makes hearing difficult she will understand! Then suggest you guys have singing/humming breaks where you can share your favorite songs or introduce each other to new ones!!! This is just my my take on working with others!! ;-)
