[Closed] People that whistle all day in the office

Are you allowed to kill them?

Whilst they work?

Absolutely. Nothing worse than a whilster.

It's whilstful dithrepect.

Thanks. Done it.

Now there are bloody sirens outside making a racket.

Well, you would take a job in a gemstone mine.

"Hi ho, Hi Ho , It's off to jail I go.........."

Sauron's outside?

I bet everyone is tolkein about that.

Our resident whistler tells us he started whistling to drown out the continuous white noise from his wife and 3 daughters and now he can't stop poor sod

Ooooh! Do you work in Wimbledon? Is Venus with her? Isn't it spelled racquet? COME ON TIM! He's only Scottish when he loses.....

Tim Henman has the look of a whistler.

Kill him

Seeds 10-1 already did.

Even his hill is now another man's mound.

My desk neighbour did some loud humming recently.

Kill him

Kill him

I'm seeing a pattern emerging.....hmmmm ,let's see.

There's this bloke on t'internet who's really gettin on my tits with his insistence on brutally murdering anyone who is annoying.

What should I do Harry?

I whistle at work..
My bil has a theory that chronic whistlers and hummers are subconsciously trying (and failing) to convince themselves and others that they are not already dead inside... even though they clearly are

that they are not already dead inside.

Don't worry. Harry will be along to kill you on the outside as well soon.

Kill them all. Utter scum.

boss has a habit of bursting into the area I work (not an office) in full song at about 200db. And i don't work in a theatre. Typically a single line form a song he's clearly heard in the morning. You'll hear the same line later in the day, under his breath and then later, back at full Wembley vol.

I'm convinced! Having caught self (emerging whistler?) whistling I am somewhat concerned. Picture this:

Chin raised noticeably skyward at a jaunty angle in the supermarket aisle late last Thursday. It had been a particularly challenging day, yet I felt light-hearted to be momentarily carefree. Maybe the piped-music and cool air, maybe the promise of a bottle of ale? Maybe a combination of contributory factors? Carefree and whistfully whistling. But then I realised I was becoming 'that whistler' and promptly ceased. I now look at the floor if tempted to begin whistling. I find this helps.

Office whistlers? No excuses. Show them the door. Really.

I just opened STW for the first time this morning and saw this thread first, while sat at my desk, in the office and whistling.

Personally I think that my whistling is in fact brightening up everyone else's, otherwise dull and quiet day. I am sure they love it.

Harry is approaching...

I think Yunki has it, at least his BiL does.

It's starting to get a little Mumsnet in here with all these abbreviations sneaking in.

Play the earworm game.
Great in a big office.
1 to 3 players.
Each player picks a song and attempts to plant it in the brain of as many non playing colleagues as possible, making them sing it out loud.

Decide on a time limit before hand, but people tend to get a bit jumpy and annoyed after a few weeks.

HTS says KH

Whistling or humming is a good way to quite down the voices in your head telling you to go on a killing spree amongst your work colleagues.

Just sayin'

Perchy yabu!

Is that my coat.

I whistle at work - people tell me its nice to hear and nice to see someone happy at their work.

So up yours you miserable non whistlers.

I know where you live.

Update.

We've had Jingle Bells and The Sound (oh, the irony) of Silence on a continuous loop all morning.

I am about to commit a crime so vile and terrible that they won't know what to arrest me for.

you need to set yourself up as a rhythm section for him - drumming on the desk with a couple of pens if you're sitting at one, or else doing a bit of beatboxing. Follow him around if he's on the move.

or

KILL HIM

@harry the spider

Have you tried earplugs? I had to deploy some against a whistler on the tube (of all places) this morning. They're more effective if you maintain eye contact whilst putting them in.

in where?

Putting them in where exactly? If I was to shove them where I want to shove them he would have to look over his shoulder.

I'm not sure at this stage that he would be compliant in my request for eye contact.

If you are a rank above him, ask him to desist.

If that fails, shout "I asked politely you Roger Whittaker bastard" and take him out with a 21" monitor.

Isn't it spelled racquet?
