This thread probably won’t be as interesting as the marathon sex thread () , but I’m wondering how many people are forced to listen to the most godforsaken music at a ridiculously high volume for 8 hours a day , and how they cope with it making them insane?
I work at a gym and we have our own horrible radio shit that plays the same 7 songs over and over again . It’s like noise pollution, and it makes me irritable . I’m trying not to listen, but I find when I come home my brain continues to play this crap all evening and I can’t shut it off.
Ex: has anyone heard this song that’s like I’ve got no roots something something home ?
I hate it more than anything in this world …
I’ve heard this thing called a cure song or something that’s supposed to be like the anti virus to an ear worm . Ex. Karma chameleon .
Are their any other songs people can think of that reduce song irritation anxiety ?
At work I just tried to immerse myself in the task at hand. At the time it was making salmon filets, mixing salads and keeping the seafood case on-point.
Once I got home I’d usually indulge in a marathon sex session lasting several hours, by the end of which I’d no longer have Cher’s Do You Believe In Life After Love stuck in my head.
The fact that my gym insists on playing music drives me batty, if for no other reason than it’s completely unnecessary in that people who want to listen to music while they work out can (and do) supply their own via headphones. Playing music overhead is a vestigial practice dating back to the pre-Walkman era.
YES, and it’s absolutely bewildering in that most gym owners and staff work out themselves and know they want to control their own playlists - so why wouldn’t they realize it of others? Or, and this happens at hotel gyms, a stupid television is blaring out the Today Show and I have to drown that out and try to ignore the distracting flashing screen changes during commercials. Who works out to the Today Show?? What kind of asshat??
We have several offices. On M and F everyone is in the office I work at. The administrative assistant plays massage parlor music loudly. I walked in yesterday morning, her desk is right as you walk in, and say: “yes, I’m here for my 90 minute deep tissue”.
During Winter, it was instrumental Christmas music.
Yes x’s a million you guys !!! I said something to the assistant manager about the music and she said " well it’s for members not for you" well ok but if they want it how come 99 percent of them never take of their beats by Dre!!!
Oh and the 2 percent without headphones are like 70 and I highly doubt they want to hear club shit poppin while they do their lat pulldown incorrectly !!!
I need to know more specifically what constitutes massage parlor music, having never been. I’m assuming it’s Lady Marmalade and can only hope it’s the Christina Aguilera, Pink, Lil’ Kim version, not the Patti LaBelle one.
I don’t know, when I was 21 or so I taught aquatics to a group whose average age was probably 70. I stuck my giant, broke ass boom box on the edge of the pool and blasted 80’s mixes on it. They loved it! We all did, really.
I’m just trying to support you in either having Shannon there with you all day or not having the music that makes you long for her and her massaging comrades. I’m on your side!
A gym without music is way more horrible than a gym playing shitty pop music. The silence is awkward, you hear everyone’s little grunts and groans, people start to whisper, the awkwardness intensifies!
It’s only happened a couple times to me due to a fault in the system at the gym thankfully.
I also don’t wear headphones. Not every young (I’m still young right?) person wears headphones. I don’t like them for multiple reasons.
They use a white noise generator at work. It drives me nuts, most people don’t hear it but I do.
But I am afraid ramming screwdrivers through the speakers near me would be frowed up upon.
It’s just constant static. It supposed to drown out sound, but to me it’s like a witch screaming constantly.
The only thing worse would be constant Christmas music. That might make me hang myself.
I don’t know why they cannot leave it quiet. Constant noise is annoying.
I would bet a study would reveal increased tension from a white noise generator. It’s not like we’re tuning an EQ for a flat acoustic curve for a concert.
It’s funny, I just realized the music was off in our building today, which is really odd. I guess I’ve learned to just tune Britney, Whitney, and Celine out. Only took 5 years…
