Is this behavior I have at work weird or annoying or both?

Well, it’s not just at work. I have a habit of talking to myself. I work in a mostly quiet office. The firm is in an old warehouse that was made into a foofy law firm and noise travels.

During my work day I make all kinds of comments to myself, but out loud: I say damn, shit, stupid piece of shit, why are you so slow, to my computer, a lot; I answer questions out loud that I ask to myself in my mind; I say ouch when I hurt myself, etc. Basically, my otherwise quiet workplace is disturbed every so often by my outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere. I cuss, even the really bad words, out loud, what seems like every day. I even sing.

No one, not my bosses or my coworkers, has ever said anything to me about it. I asked my only friend at work (who is no longer here) if my outbursts annoyed him and he said he was used to it and it’s funny sometimes. I asked another person (not a friend just a coworker) and she says it is annoying, but she is generally self-involved and is always complaining about stuff.

What do you think? Would it be annoying to you? Would you get used to it after awhile? Would you think I’m crazy?
