Why do people think it's OK to whistle?

[Kezztrel]

Especially on trains and in my workplace. Because it's not Idiots.

[Toomuch2young]

Why is it not ok?
Is being cheerful a crime?!

[LynetteScavo]

It is not OK.

[LynetteScavo]

Cheerful! Pah!

I find the worst offenders in supermarkets.

[HighJinx]

It most definitely is not ok.

There are some people working on relaying the pavement outside and one of them is a whistler. I am contemplating water bombing him.

[Kezztrel]

Toomuch that's the thing, I'd feel really mean telling a happy whistling person to STFU. But it's piercing my brain!

[Toomuch2young]

I much prefer whistling happy people to miserable complaining ones

[Kezztrel]

Lynette what kind of psycho whistles while doing the weekly shop? Surely a grim scowl is what's required?

[Toomuch2young]

Fair enough if its piercing your brain!! My grandad is always whistling a tune or humming and I enjoy it.

[Jovellanos]

Haha! I do the 'tuneless whistling through teeth' thing. It really pisses people off. Hahahaha!

[BuskersCat]

Because they are fuckwits.

[HighJinx]

Whistling on the train is grim. How long did that last?

[HouseAtreides]

There are two people in the world allowed to whistle: My grandpa, and the old man I used to serve when I was a barmaid. He used to whistle like a bird.

[Kezztrel]

Buskers indeed!

[Kezztrel]

HighJinx not too long or I'd have had to have moved carriages like a coward said something.

[Kezztrel]

Tuneful whistling when I'm not trying to work is allowed. But it has to be tuneful and birdlike.

[HighJinx]

My Dad used to have a record of Roger Whittaker songs and I'm sure there was one whole song where he just whistled.

[JogOnKitty]

My dd is a prolific whistler. She whistles all fucking day. I spend most of our time outside of the house reminding her that not everybody likes her whistling as much as she does.

[ImNotABarbieGirl]

I can't whistle. If I could I Would probably whistle all day long. So a good thing that I can't really.

[unobtanium]

If your whistling is more tuneful than your singing, and you're feeling happy, what should you do?

[LynetteScavo]

Even my fiercest of glares do not work on supermarket whistlers. They are a special species.

[Kezztrel]

unobtanium I think if you can't sing you should question whether your whistling really is all that tuneful.

[unobtanium]

Well, I can hear, and when I sing I can hear my voice drift off key, but when I whistle I can hear it's staying in tune. So for instance if I sing Peter Gabriel's Jeux Sans Frontières the whistled part of the refrain works well but the rest of it is dodgy.

[Kezztrel]

Hmm, well I am sure you're more tuneful than me whistling or singing! I can't do either... and yet I still manage to express my happiness

[towerofjelly]

If I ever divorce DH it will be the reason cited on our divorce papers. It's constant and he doesn't know he's doing it. I'm forever giving him the look of death.

[SacreBlue]

My DS has Sheldon tendencies too
