Whistle while I work
I read an interesting article in the newspaper yesterday. Apparently, whistling is a dying art. Some people find it annoying, or obnoxious. I had no idea. I must be unique: after all, I often find myself whistling.
I whistle while walking down the street, while sitting at my desk, while ironing. I don't usually whistle anything in particular, mostly because I am musically disinclined and can barely remember any tunes. But it's sort of a habit. I suppose, like many habits, I picked it up from my dad. He whistles a lot, but I can't tell you if he actually whistles while he works.
I used to go to this dentist, and he would always hum as he prodded my mouth with various instruments. That made me uncomfortable. It seemed semi-sadistic, like he was enjoying himself. He has a daughter who is also a dentist, and she does the same thing. So maybe whistling, like humming, is a genetic thing.
Anyway, do any of you actually find whistling annoying? Is this something I should stop doing? Does it make me look incredibly quaint? These are the pressing issues of the day. It can't be any more annoying than the girl who has TLC for a cell phone ringtone, can it?
