I've noticed this quite a bit lately.
I'm in a checkout line at the store and some old-timer is behind me and starts HUMMING!! And this humming was not even a complete song with pitches and valleys of musical notes. It was a few seconds of humming followed by silence followed by a few more seconds of humming. I don't know if the "tune" was some gospel music or country or what it was but it was incredibly annoying. And I have encountered this twice now in the past week from old farts. What. The. f**k?
I only like ONE kind of humming and that really has nothing to do with music so much as getting my knob polished.
Has anyone else encountered this? I felt like asking Gramps about it, but figured he would involve me in a "back in my day, our country's going to Hell, what's with kids these days" kind of diatribe.

No, my Grandpa hums all of the time. He's from Poweshiek county which isn't too far from M'town.
