Dodge Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Those that talk to yourselves while working; Do you talk louder when hammering or doing some other noisy task?? :D Quote
Glenn Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I only talk to me when something goes wrong, and usually in a loud voice so I can hear. (grin) Quote
macbruce Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Never gave it much thought.........It's the only time my son actually listens to me, If that counts..... :lol: Quote
Ramsberg Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 No, I talk at the same volume regardless of the ambient noise level. I generally don't realize I am doing it unless someone else is around and gives me a weird look. . . Caleb Ramsby PS. Dodge, I mis-read your quote as "Impress, Adapt and Overcome! " did a bit of a double take! HA!!! Quote
beth Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 mac thats really funny! they do hear what was not meant for them best dont they!!!! i dont speak louder, but i can actually hear myself better with my ear defenders on, its like your in stereo! and the singing sounds cool :) Quote
iron woodrow Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 and beth, singing in a motorcycle helmet is even better! (visored) :D Quote
doc Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 " Does he always talk to himself when he is alone?" "I don't know, I was never with him when he was alone" :blink: Quote
pkrankow Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I wear ear plugs or other hearing protection when I am doing noisy things, so I don't know if I talk any louder to myself. Phil Quote
Bigred1o1 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 i talk at the same volume but i find that the longer i have been driving a tractor say 4-6hours or so i start trying to harmonize with it and that can get kind of loud Quote
beth Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 rory thats so funny!! i call myself stuff too, sometimes good names sometimes bad ones ;) i mainly myself what ive got to do next, so i dont forget on the long journey from fire to anvil.... most certainly when there is a left or right involved or i WILL do it wrong... woody yes i bet the bike helmet, visor down IS a good one for singing to oneself :) good close range vibrations through helmet back into your Skull :) i like :) Quote
Jacques Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 i mainly myself what ive got to do next, so i dont forget on the long journey from fire to anvil I'm glad I'm not the only one. I talk the loudest to myself when I stand in the middle of the workshop having absolutely no idea what I was busy doing. Quote
Wayne Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 It is not talking to yourself thats the problem - its when you start replying Your only jealous because the little voices talk to me :ph34r: Quote
Frosty Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I sure do, I'm the only person I can hear clearly since the accident damaged the nerves on my left side. I'm also the only one to whom I hardly ever have to explain what I meant. Louder, quieter? I don't care, I usually just need some cussin out for the last dumb stunt, turning whatever the wrong way, whatever. Left? Right? Does it matter? Ask the voice in back, they always have an opinion. If they didn't answer, what'd be the point? Heck, I'm muttering to myself right now. Frosty The Lucky. Quote
doc Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Your only jealous because the little voices talk to me :ph34r: Now I really am jealous I thought they ONLY spoke to me. :( Quote MultiQuote Blog This Quote
Old N Rusty Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 crickets, I hear the buzz all the time. The only time I am aware of talking to myself, is when I find myself at the other end of the shop and have forgotten what i came for. Quote
Bigred1o1 Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 over all i think it helps problem solve if you talk out your thought process as well its nice to know someone is listening to you but that being the case it sure is sad when you realize you are talking to yourself and you have no idea what you were just saying Quote
Steve Sells Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I normally talk to myself in the same tones. People tend to get worried when I argue with myself. I tried to explain that the voices in my head sometimes have great ideas.... :wacko: Quote

Yeah, When others are around they're usually no help with this..... :mellow:..... but I still ask....... :D Quote
Jeddly Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Gee, I'm glad I'm not alone. Pun intended. I ride bikes too, and often sing to myself as well. I would probably die of embarassment if anyone heard me though. I ain't no opera singer. In the shop, I can carry on a pretty decent convo with myself. I've come to some serious revelations this way.
