What's the dillio!!!
There's this one British chemist guy who works out at our fitness center at work at about the same time I do every day. Seems like a nice guy, but HE'S_ALWAYS_WHISTLING!!! Ok, before you guys come down on me for being a smasher of happy people, hear me out. The dude walks around the fitness room whistling constantly. In plain earshot so that EVERYONE can hear him (at least he doesn't whistle while he's actually working out). Ok, so he's happy. I can get behind that. But he does it so loudly, and I pass him in the hallway and he's doing it too. Everywhere. All the time I see him. It's like an OC disorder.
Well, anyway, my office is right by a few chemistry labs. This afternoon I was doing a bunch of computer work and I noticed......that.....sound. Coming closer....and CLOSER. *twitch twitch.*
And there he is, stopping whistling for a moment, passing my desk, saying hi. Ok, fine. But then, he walks in one of the labs; he doesn't normally work there. And then it starts up again. The lab door is closed. The walls and door are so thick you usually can't hear people talking in there. But yes, indeed, you can sure as hell hear that whistling. I'm typing on my keyboard, and that sound is constant *TWITCH*. Just in case you didn't get it, that's me twitching, not him. My eye, my head, who knows. I'm twitching everywhere. I peer in the lab door window occasionally as I work and I see him working away in the fume hood, and on the lab comp, and back to the hood, and that danged whistling keeps going. I couldn't believe it. When will that song be over?! Then i realized he was whistling the same song over again, over and over and over. I didn't know the song, but I knew I hated it. I check that clock and realize it's been 30 minutes! 30 minutes of whistling??!! Who does that anyway??!! Then he leaves. THANK GOD. Then he comes back! OH SH**! I could tell he was coming back minutes before he did because I could hear him all the was down the hallway. Surely he annoys others. He even does it when people are working in the same lab as he is. I wonder if he stops whistling long enough for co-workers to talk to him? I glance at the clock again and it's been an hour now. I can't take it anymore (I had only gotten 15 minutes of relief when he left) and so I get off the computer and go into my lab where there is another computer I can do my work. But it's freezing in there. Better to take a cold environment than to lose my ears to permanent numbness.
Does anyone else know of anyone who whistles compulsively? What's the dillio?!
