They apologize, stop for about a minute, then start whistling again.

4. Develop a six-octave soprano voice like Minnie Riperton |
|
& sing "Lovin' You" -- the whistling is guaranteed to stop.

9. I was on the bus once and a fight nearly broke out |
|
because a passenger asked another passenger not to whistle. It escalated until someone stepped in and cooled them both down. All over whistling.

It makes me happy. What I loathe is students who incessantly tap their pencils while I'm lecturing.

I'm trying to eliminate all the yodelers first. Next up are beat boxers. Whistlers are a bit farther down on my list.

15. I share a workspace with one guy who whistles (he's doing . . . |
|
it right now), another who sings and makes unnecessary stupid noises and a third who is a foot-tapper. And they are all Republicans. Bless the person who invented headphones!!!

16. The whistler in my life is a liberal, a Democrat. |
|
She whistles along to classical music.
In my humble opinion, that is far, far worse than any of the 3 people you described.

Next thing there are gonna be Dizney characters involved...
Be happy they are happy...It could be a LOT worse-No job & no whistle is what seems to be the major trend.
