Why do people think it's OK to whistle?

[Kezztrel]

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

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

It is not OK.

Cheerful! Pah!

I find the worst offenders in supermarkets.

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.

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

I much prefer whistling happy people to miserable complaining ones

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

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

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

Because they are fuckwits.

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

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.

Buskers indeed!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

My DS has Sheldon tendencies too
