To find whistlers annoying?

[TenancyTroublesAgain]

Specifically tuneless, incessant whistlers.

Inspired by the current atonal whistling that's been going on non stop for the past 20 minutes.

I really find it piercing sometimes and think prolonged whistling is a bit much. The occasional tuneful burst isn't so bad, it's when they don't stop.

Anyone else hate it?

I hate whistlers but only because I can't do it. Bastards.

Yes me!! DH and both DSs are persistent whistlers-no tune, just like a persistent flock of fucking birds in the house! Totally gives me the rage but if I say anything they do it to deliberately annoy me I may have to tear their tongues out!!

YANBU. I have misophonia which is set off by many different sounds. Yet whistling is definitely the worst one. It feels like someone is invading your head.

Whenever I go to a supermarket there’s always a bored man wandering around doing it. It’s like they don’t care about how much obnoxious noise they are making.

I believe in capital punishment for anyone who whistles in a place where other people can't walk away, e.g. in a queue, doctor's waiting room, and ESPECIALLY an office.

I have misophonia and whistling is one of the worst things I can hear. It makes me almost tearfully angry and I've actually gotten off a bus and waited for the next one if the driver has been whistling

And me. My boss does it ... all the time. One day ...

I also have misophonia @dingdong. Other things like people chewing loudly or talking with food in their mouth really riles me. :(

The list is quite large actually but that's the main thing 😂

YANBU. At all.

Loathe it. Drives me to a murderous rage. Totally invasive. It's always men. It's highly likely that one day I'll be up on a murder charge.

It makes me irrationally angry. Especially that really high pitched tuneless warble. I once went into a full scale rant to my friend in the queue in Lidl because someone stood behind was doing it, HOW BLOODY RUDE. I don't want to listen to it, and repetitive sounds are one of my triggers for migraine. I wouldn't have minded so much if he was actually whistling a tune but the endless tweet tweet tweet makes me want to throw something. Likely a tin of beans.

I hate it too. There’s rarely a glimmer of a tune just mindless noise.

Does anyone else think it's such an odd thing to subconsciously do? Us humans are weird.

Gosh, hoping all of us here self-identify as humans, that is. 2018 after all.

"misophonia"

Well, that's one to add to an ever-growing list of reasons people can't function in society!

Whistling should come with a trigger warning. Lidl is my safe space.

It's always men It used to be thought very unladylike even to be able to whistle, and you'd never have dreamt, as a woman, of doing it in public.

I love it, my husband whistles every day when he gets his shave.

It makes me smile knowing he is happy.

Utter wankbadgers.

I, not a man, incessantly whistle.
I do it subconsciously and it is only when someone makes a comment "oh, thought my phone was ringing but it is you whistling" etc. presumably to try and shut me up, that I realise I'm doing it. The louder the environment, the louder I whistle. My hairdresser had to ask me to stop when I sat under the dryer because it was bothering the other clients
Luckily my DH and DC find it endearing (or so they tell me!)
I wish I could stop, not least because I have those vertical lines, that are associated with smoking, around my lips from my endless whistling.
Sorry for being annoying.

YADDDDDDDDDDDNBU!

FIL has a tuneless whistle. It's just a blowy noise, sort of under the breath, at various flat pitches. Nothing resemblng a tune. IT IS SO ANNOYING.

There was an old man who lived around the corner from me growing up who had a lovely whistle, though. It was pitch perfect and even had vibrato in it. When done well, it's an amazing sound.

A whistling women and a crowing hen, are no use to God or men

As my Mother tells me. Oh well, never mind

Crunched - I always heard it as "will always come to no good end"!
