Whistlers........

Tell her ya'll aren't the Seven Dwarfs and whistling while you work is against company policy.
I'm a whistler and sometimes I do it unconsciously. My GF can't stand it when I whistle in a high pitch. There's one woman who does research in the courts viewing room who just hates it when I start whistling. She let me know it too! Now when she's in the viewing room, I'll start to whistle on purpose just to kid around with her. Now she laughs about my whistling and asks me if I can whistle Yankee Doodle Dandy!

However, just last week I was making a pick up from a lawyer in Solana Beach. I was parked in an underground garage, and while returning to my car, I started to whistle. A woman appears from a corner of the garage and asks me if I was the one who was whistling. I told her I was guilty. She said I had a very nice whistle and she wished she could whistle. Finally a nice comment about my whistling. I wanted to ask her if she couldn't whistle...was she any good at "blowing"...but that thought quickly left my mind!

As a kid, I wished I could whistle...just to carry a tune... still can't whistle.
My Dad & siblings are whistlers, so I'm used to it.
Now at work, depending if this person is on or off key, loud or soft can make a difference...if it bothers all...just tell 'em.
Once worked with someone who chewed and snapped his gum all the time with his mouth open. Way worse when he chewed bubblegum and would try to blow bubbles, they would snap on his face and then he would try to pick off the gum...now, that's a horror movie.

Good response!

Failing that, at least learn to play the Kazoo or Jaw Harp, or Recorder - but PLEASE - don't whistle - it rates on the same scale as fingers on a chalk board for me.
