Rant: People Who Walk Around Whistling/Humming

[SOB]

We have this guy at work, in his 40s I would guess. Weird F-er! Constantly walking around humming, whistling, or clearing his throat so loud everyone in the whole office can hear him. I work in a cubi-cage environment so sound travels pretty good, but this dood hums\sings his classical music all damn day long!

Even on the crapper! He sits there humming and tapping his feet like he's writing the world's next symphonic masterpiece!

He's almost as bad as the lady who laughs like Sponge Bob...

 

[jerly]

He did title the thread "RANT." Seems to be a suitable place for his rantings.

 

[Evan!]

If you think my rants are bad, then you obviously haven't seen the master.

 

[c.n.budz]

It's not "people" or even "other people", it's "inconsiderate, stupid people" that are earn the ire of my rants.

Truer words cannot be spoken

I pulled up to a drive through ATM the other day. The car that was at the machine already was pulled in the wrong way so the passenger could use the ATM instead of just giving his card to the driver. I wouldn't care about it except that when they were done they started flashing their headlights, honking the horn, and even started revving their engine and lurching forward a few inches at a time to get me to back up so they could get out. Hey pal, you're the one that's facing the wrong way, not me. And my car's all paid for... Needless to say I sat there until they backed out...

Oh, you should hear the crap I talk about myself when nobody's around.

As long as you don't start an argument with yourself, then it's ok.

It's not really for my sake; SWMBO's been complaining about back problems since Saturday night.

Well, pegging you for hours on end must be murder on the lower back. Can you sit down yet?

I have a new hero.

BWAAHAHAHAHA... I love Maddox!

so is your face."

Did you happen to read the Alphabet of Manliness? What a great book. Even better was the eye-roll I got from SWMBO every time she saw me reading it.

 

[BierMuncher]

I usually just start echo-whistling along with them.

Drives em crazy.

I am definitely a whistler, and could not give a damn about who it annoys. Now, I am not the ultra whistler that is extra loud and pitchy, but I can promise you that if it annoyed someone, it wouldnt bother me in the slightest. Life is a funny thing though. Here you are complaining about this guy that came into your store and whistled over your Jimi and the whole time he was probably thinking, man I cant even hear myself think with all this noise. To each his own...life is too short to get worked up over such trivial stuff.

Dude...if you would rather hear yourself whistle tunelessly than hear Jimi play the blues, then there's definitely something wrong with you.

I used to ride the Bus, and one of the drivers I dubbed 'The Whistler'. Now I am not generally bothered by whistling folks, but this guy was like playing the jazz section to big band with his lips. He'd be going to town on a half-hearted, off-key sample of notes where it is almost like that quasi-whistle thing where it's more breathing-with-a-swooshing-noise than whistling. lol.

Personally, when I'm in a wonderful mood and want to start irritating people for fun and profit, I intentionally whistle old NES tunes. Imagine hearing someone walking by whistling "the Legend of Zelda" or "Super Mario Bros." The best part is, they loop forever! I was in band forever, so if I whistle or hum, you bet your sweet bippie it's going to be in tune and recognizible.

And Maddox has been my hero forever! You'd get like he does too if you had to live in Utah your whole life. I love those specially made pants on the pirate in that drawing.

I have a loud, clean, well-pitched whistle.

I usually whistle in two situations:

1) in the car, alone
2) At Target or the mall, when the wife and I have split up, and I am looking for her. I tend to go with the Hobbit's Song because it is loud and distinct. My whistle can carry through half of the department store.

It sure makes it easier to find swmbo, but I usually get dirty looks from everyone, including her.
