i think whistling is just fucking attention seeking

[AnnetteProfit]

shut up you annoying nob end.

My husband whistles, mainly the theme to The Antiques Road Show. Makes me want to punch him in the face, which obviously I don't, but I really, really want to.

DH has taught DS (4.5) to whistle!

It drives me nuts

Yes! Horrible attention-seeking knobbery.

You don't have anything useful to say but you want everyone to pay attention to you anyway.

Middle aged man's equivalent to getting your tits out at a party.

Whistling is headache inducing, ear piercing, irritating, violence inciting noise and should be against the law.

Terrible!

I have just had a relative staying for three and a half weeks who was both a whistler and a coin-jiggler. The coin-jiggling happened when we were out, and the whistling when we were in.

It. Drove. Me. Bonkers.

Ha! I agree with 5foot5 and the other cheerful soul on this thread. It's a happy sound and a such is a Good Thing. But I cam imagine if you are forced to listen to it endlessly in a confined space it might get a little wearisome

I had a habit of humming, singing and whistling a lot. I stopped when I got depressed and began to suffer from anxiety. I am getting a bit better now so have started again. So sod the lot of you! I would rather be happy and annoying than silent and miserable.

I don't jiggle my change though. Or anything else.

"I don't jiggle my change though. Or anything else."

Glad to hear it orm. Otherwise I'd have had you down as my change-jiggler because he was fond of alarmingly unexpected bursts of song too.

How I miss him.

When my mum or brother sit next to me on the sofa they constantly jiggle one foot making the whole sofa shake. One day some coin jiggling, foot wobbling, whistling, noisy eating, finger clicking menace will send me over the edge.

Hate whistling...bloody hate it. Self indulgent, selfish behaviour. I was in the ladies in John Lewis yesterday and another 'user' was whistling very loudly!! WTF? Did she think she was drowning out the sound of her peeing? Was once subjected to a cd of some twonk doing bird song impressions by whistling...I felt like I was in hell. If DH starts whistling he doesn't carry on for long [hgrin].

i like whistling and think op is an annoying nob end

Awww we have an old man and his even older dog stagger past our house numerous times each day. He always whistles and it makes me smile. He's happy even though he's 109 and his dog can barely walk but is always wagging his tail. It's nice. Like old people holding hands. [nostalgic]

"Was once subjected to a cd of some twonk doing bird song impressions by whistling"

Percy Grainger probably

Urgh. Both my parents do this.

One of them will start whistling a tune (always a traditional pipe march or something) and then the other one starts at the same time.

Aww sweet you might think, except-

the other one always starts whistling a completely different tune

at the same time

Does my head in. To put it mildly....

As a direct result of this thread I now have a tune stuck in my head. Anyone remember The Good Life? Remember how when Tom Good had a job he needed to get on with there was the same little tune that he always whistled? That one.

Now it is stuck in there it will probably keep popping out of my pursed lips on and off all afternoon. So if the guys on the desks around me get fed up of it then, although they won't know it, they will have you to thank.

5Foot% My DH whistles that tune when we have had a disagreement.

He whistles it in a cheerfully aggressive way which makes me want to kick him hard in the nads. Obviously this does not help resolve our original disagreement.

Oh I LOVED Tom from The Good Life

You have to love whistling I didn't think my job as a parent was done until ds could whistle and do that showbiz skip

My 5it old ds has learnt to whistle and It annoys me when he whistles in the car!!!
Also I shake my legs but dh does it too and the sofa shakes. So I do it back lol
