Would the snuffing out of a compulsive whistler be justifiable homicide?

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

Yes. At least give him/her a bit of uppitiness.

not do that?" wasn't working. x(

You asked nicely and it continued? :grr: That would definitly irritate me! Are you at work?

little snotty. But still! It's been going on for WEEKS! And it's at work, too.

:grouphug: Thank you, AMom!

Aaaarrrrgghhhh! :banghead:

Some of the people I worked with would whistle, sing, play their music loudly, yell, use speakerphones ... etc. I used to wear headphones just to drown out all the irritating stuff. It didn't work all the way, but at least I could listen to something I wanted to listen to. I actually prefer quiet, though.

I'm sure you didn't sound snotty ... just uppity. :evilgrin:

:grouphug:

You took the words right out of my mouth. He comes thru my office sometimes (because my office is obviously some sort of hallway) and..and TWEETS!

He kinda laughed when I asked him to stop. And he did stop, for like 20 minutes.

A JERK! :banghead:

and the next time he walks through your office, grab his lips and slice them off. If the shears are sharp, you should be able to do it with a single slice. Otherwise it make take you one or two tries.

Best of luck to you Sug. :*

but first I'd yell something like, "DO YOU KISS YOUR GRAMMA WITH THAT MOUTH?"

SHIT. There he goes again.

How can anyone hate a whistler? :(

A severe snorer, on the other hand... (kidding)

Constantly.

It kind of freaks me out, actually.:scared:

It's not like they want to snore. :-(

I snore! Everyone in my immediate family snores to one degree or another.

like the geniuses who came up with the cure for "Restless Leg Syndrome" could come up with something for "Restless Whistling Syndrome".

I suggest you sing to get back at him/her. Especially if you don't have a good singing voice. If you do, you could always sing "Macarthur Park."

Maybe I could not necessarily sing, but hum. LOUDLY. :rofl:

I worked with a guy like that when I was right out of school. Awful.


"Paulie? You won't see him no more."

"Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."

No, it's exactly what you're talking about, but COMPLETELY tuneless!

:loveya:

Especially if he is in a grocery store, or the line of a bank and you are trying to concentrate. If he's at the doctor's office, in the waiting room...you don't even have to poll us first. :hi:

*LOL*! I could have made this into a poll, couldn't I! It's creeping me out even more than it's driving me batshit. :pals:

:loveya:

:hug: :loveya:

:hug: back atcha. :)

There is a guy here who can't whistle for shit and it drives me nuts. He is one of those that blow more air than actual "whistle" and if he manages to stay in key for two notes I'm surprised.

OMG! What is this, a zoo?

and people who eat with their mouth open are all fair targets. :D

"fair targets" Aaah, the sweet smell of justice!:D

or make some other equally annoying and repetitive sound as a counter-attack. :D

;)

:hi:

*whistles*

:D

:*

:*

:D

Er, I think. ;)

I might make someone mad. :scared:

Naaaah! :loveya:

but it doesn't always work. :loveya:

Uppity and everything included! ;-)

:P

Are you an Uppity Woman? Should I add you to the list? :bounce:

cd you whistle a few bars?

OMG! :spray: :applause: :loveya:

I could also bounce one leg so my foot makes a tapping noise at the same time. YESSS!

:D

can't stand myself.:toast:

More like an act of public service. Should get a medal for it.

and my Butthole Surfer records, too. If you blast these at sufficient volume, they will have nearly the same effect as whacking the offending whistler. :D

:* Bring some duct tape instead, and we'll see what we can do.

I KNEW there was a reason I loved you!

And I will bring the duct tape, too. Do you prefer gray or black? ;)

:loveya:

Shindigs. Butthole Surfers. Cheap distractions. :D

but I'm still a dork.

Or possibley an atonal Philip Glass number?

Or one of Keith Emerson's Toccatas? (I'll admit to being a ELP fan, and when I saw one live Keith's keyboard masturbation was an entertaining spectacle--but how anybody could sit and listen to recording of that....well, my mind boggles!)

Yeah, I went through a big progrock period in my mid-teens, after I got bored with heavy metal. Own every Yes, Genesis and ELP record made up to 1980 on vinyl.

Branca would do the trick nicely, IMHO. That's on CD, too, so it wouldn't need to be converted, either.

the membrane at the base of the tongue wd be sufficient. i believe in snuff as a last resort, or for pure fun!

do it in a heartbeat. I shall put it on the back burner for the moment.

walk him/her to car, then hit them in the bicep w/ 2 mg of ketamine IM. you can have your way w/ them for app 2 hours!

:o

you nd a clean source for ketamine!


kind of fun stuff, too.....



:rofl:

that's NOTHING.

There's a guy I know who CONSTANTLY makes cricket noises.

I'm a sworn enemy of crickets as it is, the little bastards. But to watch someone do it DELIBERATELY, incessantly...

:grr:

How does he do that? That is perfectly AWFUL! How shall we punish him?

:nuke: :grr:

feed him to a lizard :evilgrin:

and fuck knows how he does it. Probably sold his soul to satan for the ability.

and if you're coming for me, make sure you have fingers on BOTH triggers!:hi: :hide:

:spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

Definitely.

:insert shameless self-promotion here:

Yankee Doodle

Steve whistled. In the end, that's what did it. When he worked, when he read, when he was in the bathroom, he whistled. He whistled along with the radio. He whistled when he was deep in thought and he whistled when he was bored. At first, it was endearing. She thought it was cute.

When she was eighteen.

After fifteen years of it though, it was fingernails on a chalkboard. And the worst part of it was that he didn't even know he did it. When she mentioned it, he was always surprised. And when she told him that he even did it during their most intimate moments, he flat out denied it.

"I do not!"

"You don't believe me? What…you want me to tape you? Other women get, 'Oh, Susie,' or 'Oh, baby,' or even 'Oh, God.' What do I get? Fucking 'Yankee Doodle'."

"I do not!"

She couldn't get him to believe her. Even when she taped him, he denied it. It was a defective tape. She'd edited it. She PMS-ing. She wanted to emasculate him and it wasn't going to work, damn it.

It wasn't him. It couldn't be him.

Except that it was. And it was going to stop. Today. Now.

June heard the crunch of gravel in the driveway and the car door slam. The garage opened and then it came. The whistling.

Fucking "Yankee Doodle."

June lifted the skillet and waited…

It was going to stop. The doorknob turned.

Now.

:end shameless self-promotion:

I've given this some thought....

:applause: :applause:

The deneument was the most wonderful:

"June heard the crunch of gravel in the driveway and the car door slam. The garage opened and then it came. The whistling.

Fucking "Yankee Doodle."

June lifted the skillet and waited…

It was going to stop. The doorknob turned.

Now."




:rofl: I salute you.

Thank you.

:evilgrin:

:hug:

:D :hi: :yourock:

...and temporary insanity have already been used successfully in homicide defenses. So I see no reason why whistle-driven madness couldn't also work.


:7

And who would really miss him? :evilgrin:

I've seen it happen!

Thank GOD!

to give him one. That's what happened to the boss I saw get punched.

then I'll walk away while he's marveling at his handiwork. THAT should keep him occupied. :thumbsup:

Back up a second; you saw a boss get punched?!? :wow:

It was about thirty years ago, and we were working for a city fire department. One guy got fed up with his Captain's compulsive whistling. He asked him if he could do that with a fat lip, then gave him one!

but not today www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5052777&mesg_id=5052777

Thanks for the reminder, luv.:smoke:

:bounce: Thank you, rug, for your wise advice.

:shrug:

just straightshot into psychosis, as though saying "Welcome. Abandon hope, all ye who enter here". Trill whistles, that sort of thing. Tuneless and constant. Fuck it all, I'm going to boil some potatoes.


BTW: :loveya:

tootling? just fucking whistling?!? like some errant, lost in freaking pines bullshit song-less bird brained song bird!?!?! IF THAT?? well...

that crap-head's gotta go DOWN, homey x(

:-)

Jeebus, but were my ears getting annoyed! :nuke: :loveya: :hug:

I loves me bridgit!
