Whistling women and crowing hens are no good to beast nor men!

Alas, some have as yet to discover the great beauty there is in silence. Many of their peers quietly pray for that day…You are talking to the right man, whistlers, pen clickers, key rattlers, noisy eaters, noisy drinkers, loud breathers etc, etc, etc...
... Do them all in!

As a lad I worked part time for a local builder. One of the crew would whistle tunelessly all day. I was pointed in his direction one day to collect something ... "Go and Find Thrush. he'll have it."
I remarked that his whistling was nothing like a thrush or any other bird I knew, and was told "No you silly XYZ, we call him Thrush because he's an irritating £%$& " (Insert your own 4 letter word starting with C )

Used to pee me off the folk going round with a sponsorship form doing a run, parachute jump, walk, swim or this or that for some sort of healthcare charity. I always refused with the words "Do you really think in the UK that we should rely on charity stunts to fund the NHS?" And suggested they'd be better organising letters to MPs to demand adequate financing of whatever it was they were collecting for.

I've worked it out, lone working was scrapped because they (office coordinators) couldn't make anyone have a bad day and now they just send texts to irritate your days graft with probably some half cocked tree hugger with his phone stuck to his head as your working companion
I had 25 years as that person as a semi 50% lone worker and but or under orders
and 27 years lone worker with selected people I wanted to be work with and its been glorious with no one to explain to, i honestly and actually feel sorry for workers now its just like working as part of an AI / computer spare part, i’m well over retirement age BUT i like what i do and the people I meet or work alongside, when that goes , pack up time
The young starters in work these days have a thorny track to follow, bloody hard mental graft most of it, if it was me I would be banging my head on the wall singing dixxy as well, bored out of my skull, I take my hat off to them, it takes something to sit in a chair with some half baked section leader bleating on drone drone about someone was five minutes late and it effected the whole teams performance FMOB what a place of workplace shite god bless everyone of them

When you have tinnitus random whistling is the least of your annoyances. The little friend in my head playing his continuous one note song - now that is annoying
To be fair, I did have an advantage over many in noisy environments at work. I’m profoundly deaf so I just turned my hearings aids off…not many are any good at communicating through the medium of mime…
When I was working on plant/machines, it used to amuse me when a work mate would say " can you hear that hissing?" while looking at a dumper or trailer tyre. I'd say, "yes-- definitely hearing hissing" and leave them to find the puncture.
Whistling I can tune out.to find tuneless and random whistling in the office irritating to the extreme?
Is it just me?
Person in the next door office singing the same 2 lines of ABBA over and over and over? Homicidal rage.
Fernando, if you must know…
Just seen this. I used to work in a Portakabin with a guy who did just this. I wanted to rip my own arm off just so I had something to smack him with
