There's a bloke in my office who whistles constantly. Usually it's Christmas songs rolleyes , the Men Behaving Badly theme or, like just now, the Indiana Jones theme.

Can you whistle? What are your usual tunes (I'm assuming that everyone is like me and the annoying sparky in my office and only has a limited repertoire)?

Mine are:

Love Generation
Danny Boy
Ring of Fire
USSR Anthem (why? I don't fking know)
The US army marching song thing (in lots of war films like Full Metal Jacket)

I have no particular favourites and don't whistle very often to be honest. What I have always wanted to do but can't is really piercing whistles with two fingers in my mouth, but I end up spraying loads of spit everywhere. frown

I can whistle a single tone pretty loudly (and my dog always comes running when I do) but I can't do that 2-fingers-in-mouth-ear-splitter either. Would like to though yes

I whistle a lot, it's probably really annoying... tends to be the same things over and over, completely subconcious. Generally only if I'm happy though!

The two fingers in the mouth thing, just practice. It's just as easy with two rather than four fingers. Curl your tounge back a bit, then place the finger tips just under the tip of your tongue, and seal your lips around it. Next time your out with the dog, just keep changing the angle and how hard you blow, and you'll get it. Then practice with one hand, even better. It's freaking loud!

Cheers,

FT.

Speaking of annoying s in the office.

We have a doc control department with 1 stunner, 1 6-pinter and 7 heifers. The heifers go to the canteen for a feckin HUGE cooked breakfst on a Friday morning (plus a kit-kat for afters) and drink diet coke at the same time. rolleyes

The landings on the fire stairs are limited to 510kg/m2 so in a fire drill they have to leave separately.

Whistling is the single most irritating thing a human can do in the presence of another human.

Anyone, everyone, who whistles in an office should be kicked to a bloody pulp.

Worse than speaking in a scouse accent? or farting? or jacking-off? Or wiping their arse with their hand then licking it clean?

You really don't like whistling eh?

I sometimes whistle at work just to annoy people. Mainly because they annoy the hell out of me every day, so i occasionally do it to annoy them massively!

I hate whistlers, it's a form of lunacy and it gets right on my tits. Well you wouldn't go about singing at the top of your voice would you ? Unless you were mad. It's all the same to me silly
