We've had a bit of a reorganisation at work - the upshot of which is that I have a different person sitting next to me. Not a problem I hear you say?
Oh yes it is. He's a whistler, and its driving me bloody insane. He's the kind of whistler that does not even KNOW when he is doing it. Despite my numerous comments over the last week, if anything its getting WORSE not better... Whats worse is that he plays in a band on the weekend (tuba or something I think) - which means he whistles the bit of the song he would play, which usually bears no relation at all to the main tune of the song. ![]() Seriously, I just want to chuck things at him. No, I don't mean paper-clips, - I'm thinking staplers or heavy-duty hole-punchers... I've told him already that I intend to make up a small box, with a hole in the top - and every time he whistles he has to stick a euro in there (think swear-box but different). I figured this would appeal to his Dutch fiscal sense (i.e tight-fisted) - however my plan backfired as he just thinks I am joking.... |

Just tell him to Shut the **** up.
re-insure that he knows your not joking by adding. "Honestly i´m gonna punch your ****ing lights out if you don´t stop whistling" and to finish the conversation off,.. Add a nice "***hole" to the end of it all. that´s kinda how i´d do it. edit: off course you could try the other way and just tell him "Dude, your whistling is really killing my nerves, please stop it" but where would the fun be in that. |

You can't honestly think that you're going to FINE someone for whistling? You're just trying to invoke negative reinforcement to break him of a habitual act.
He has tunes playing in his head, so what you might want to do is see if he's allowed to have music on his PC (and get him headphones, or insist he gets them) I'm not sure if this will break him of the habit or make it worse tenfold. Either that or you can hire an actress to walk by him when he's whistling and then have her slap him and go into a stint about how it's sexual harassment and she'll be contacting his supervisor, yadda yadda yadda. |

Whistlers arent so annoying, because they can stop, if they wanted. The most annoying people I know are those that make that "hissing" sound when breathing through their noses. Honest, that drives me mad. And just like the whistlers they dont even recognize how annoying it really is (I guess), because they just dont stop. Ever. I mean breath through your god damn mouth if your nose sounds like a pressure valve 24 hours a day!
I finished Uni about half a year ago, and office life kinda made me hate humanity. Everyday I learn new annoying things about men, especially those above 50. I mean in Uni many people were young and beautyful, but in the office most of them are fat ass sweating stinking bald washed up douchebags, and except for the bald part that goes for the women too. And the worst thing is that "office humor". Gawd, I abso****inlutely hate it when you have to laugh about those absolutely not funny stupid "jokes" made by your colleagues/bosses.Where are all those offices we see on tv all the time with nothing but hot mid 30s women who have been just left by their husband and are looking for someone to comfort them? ![]() |

Tell your colleague you're going to the toilet, run as quickly as you can and take up a position in the building opposite, making sure a clear line of sight is available.
Lie prone taking aim with the low Calibre rifle {the one you setup yesterday}; then shoot him through the side of the cheek. Then run back to the office and walk through the door as if you have just emptied your bowels; You'll be completely over suspicion. Good luck! |
