Why do people whistle when they don't know how?

[johnnie]

This dude here at work has been "whistling" all day and he sounds like someone is jumping up and down on one of those pet toys.
It's one of those people who just whistle anything and it's not even a real song, just a bunch of half-assed "notes". I guess I could start throwing things at him, but I don't want to piss anyone off..lol.
Oh, and half of it is just air because he obviously has never realized that he sounds like shit.
Why do people do that?
OK, end of rant.
Oh, cool..I get to use this:
:rant:

[cheezus]

1. why don't people confront their problems

instead of ranting about them on the internet? :evilgrin:

[johnnie]

2. Because then I wouldn't have been able to use that cool smilie

Plus, he is one of "them" and I would be sentenced to hours of listening to him talk about abortion and how I am going to hell for putting down how he whistles. And yes, he could turn a whistling conversation in to an abortion conversation. He changes all conversation in to an abortion conversation.

3. I do that.

With me it's because I've alway wanted to learn how to whistle. For most of my life I was not able to for some reason. It's only been during the last several years that I have been able to occasionally whistle part of a tune. I probably sound just like your co-worker most of the time. It's practice on my part.

[johnnie]

4. Oh, he is practicing...

OK, I had no idea..lol.
You do this in the middle of the office all day?

[skypilot]

5. Actually, I don't do it at work...

...but I will do it at home or while walking down the street.

[johnnie]

7. Oh...well that's cool

It's just that this guy is sitting about 30 feet away from me and going on and on. A few hours of nonsensical chirps and whirls can start to get a little annoying...:)

6. Lots of people have sex

when they are no good at it. well, thats, um, what people tell me, anyway.

[johnnie]

8. Hell

I wouldn't know about that... B-)

[Squeech]

9. Maybe

he votes ignorantly too?

[johnnie]

10. Oh, I can attest to that

He voted for georgie because georgie is a man of God and will ban abortion for all eternity. :eyes:
November was hell month here at work.

11. It's a whistler with a wide-ass vibrato

that makes me go fetch the shotgun

[johnnie]

12. Oh yeah

One of those. I can relate.
