You make my ears bleed

How do you go about telling someone who loves to sing that they shouldn't. ever. I was the passenger in a friends' car recently where I had a traumatizing experience. The radio was blaring, however I was unable to hear the song.

The real conversation

My Friend: Do you like this song? (Screaming along)

Me: I don't know ( looking out the window)

Friend: Really? I love this song ( Continues shrieking)

Me: Yeah ( shifting uncomfortably)

Friend: I know all the words ( Getting louder)

Me: I can hear that ( Sinking in my chair)

Friend: I know all the words to most songs actually. (finishes with flare)

*Song changes*

Friend: Do you like this song? ( falsifying vibrato)

Me: Sigh, sure (Promising myself I will never be a passenger with such little control ever again)


The version of the same conversation I had in my head

My Friend: Do you like this song? (Screaming along)

Me: I might if I could hear it (Plugging my ears)

Friend: Really? I love this song (Continues shrieking)

Me: I used to until your tone deaf version ruined it for me. ( Imagining ways to damage his vocal cords)

Friend: I know all the words (Getting louder)

Me: Actually you seem to know most of the words, I don't think those others are real words (Searching for escape)

Friend: I know all the words to most songs actually. (finishes with flare)

*Song changes*

Friend: Do you like this song?( falsifying vibrato)

Me: Sigh. I used to (Opening the door, hurling my self toward the suddenly appealing pavement)
