According to the 10 Commandments of Human Relations, the sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his or her own name.
As a teacher, there is nothing more annoying.
I hear my name 300 times a day and it almost always means writing a pass, answering a question, locating the stapler, lending out a paperclip, fixing a computer error....
This made me laugh out loud. In first grade they not only say your name, or the unspecific "teacher," and they poke you at the same time. Then I come home to, "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy." Most days I can take it, but some days ...

Seriously. I subbed for a first grade class and it is 10,000 times worse than highschool. Trust me. Kindergarten, even more horrible.

As a mom, there's nothing more annoying either. All I hear is, "MMOOOMMMMMMYYYYY!"
