There’s a guy at work who insists on whistling out loud in the men’s room. Yep, he is the friggin Mary Poppins of the water closet.
I guess if it is acceptable to fart, then whistling is acceptable at the urinal and at the washbasin.
Still, I find it only slightly less annoying than people who talk on their cell phone while they are going about their business. Surely no matter can be so pressing that it needs to be discussed with your pants around your ankles or with your dick in your hand while people around you are doing their expunging rituals?
I thought of telling to him to shut up because my bladder cannot function properly when there are distractions in the room, but that would only make me seem sadder than he is. What is even more annoying is that the tune gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
Perhaps the act of peeing brings such joy to him that he can’t help but to let the whole world know.
This morning he was going about his business to the tune of James Morrison’s “You give me something“. I used to like that song. It is a great song. But not anymore.
I wonder if he uses that same technique when he does a number two. “Take my breath away” by Berlin comes to mind. Or how about that 80’s classic by Leo Sayer, “I feel a thunder in my heart“? (Although “thunder in my arse” would be more appropriate).

Dammit Chit! This is not even close to what I consider to be your funniest post yet, but for some reason it made me howl with laughter. Must be the song lyrics!
I have a song for you – Roses, OutKast
Hehehe. Thanks for the laugh. Have you considered becoming a stand-up comic?
IB: It was not meant to be funny. The whistling seriously irks me, especially since he’s mutilating perfectly good songs by making me associate them with the mens room.
outofctrl: Ha ha! There is the question of how much money a stand-up comedian makes. Funny is no longer funny when there is nothing to show for it.
PS: I see you’ve moved your blog?
I know that I really shouldn’t make childish homophobic jokes but your mentioning of ‘Thunder in my Heart’reminded me of this joke I remember from school:
What did the one gay guy start singing when the other one farted?
Love is in the Air (*)
(*) a song from the mid-seventies by, I think, John Paul Young
The subject of ‘Urinal Etiquette’ has popped up on many male run blogs. I’m sure curious, has anyone ever thought of publishing a book on the dos and don’ts of public peeing places?
Thanks for the giggle. Oh, and I’ve been meaning to ask you, where do you get your pics. LOL
“Hi! I’m in the loo.”
*ploop*
“What was that?”
“Err, my screen saver?”
Once I was waiting for a loo to free up and I got a really strong smell of food, some bloke came out eating a huge burger n fries. I felt ill. AND he didn’t wash his hands!
Chitty, you should hum tunelessly or make singing noises “lalalal la la laaa la la la” etc etc. See if you can put him off. Or maybe set up a counter rhythm, have a jamming session, cut a CD & make a few bucks?
“Counter rhythm”…? Oh Katt, don’t go there LOL!
Ja, Chitty, I agree. There are few things more annoying than people who blerrie-well whistle all the time. Damn them happy folk!!!
Sorry
Can’t identify with this one.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone whistle in the ladies’ room.
OOPS, not Katt, I meant Kev of course. Methinks a holiday is in order (or an eye test?!)
Can you imagine the same situation taking place in a mix bathroom some companies have?
what I cannot stand in bathrooms are women who gossip with each other while sitting on a stall! they take forever!
Alan: That song is a little before my time, but it is a good one nonetheless.
. That’ll explain why there is always a queue for the ladies room.
Katt: That book will be a best-seller.
I find the pics by searching the Web. Needless to say, I spend w-a-y to much time finding just the right pic for the post.
Kev: Eating in the loo? That has got to be the most disgusting thing to do!
As or the counter rhythm… just what kind of rhythm are we talking about here? Ha ha!!
Terri: Women don’t do the whistling thing. It is a male phenomenon. Damn those happy men!
Pequeña: Most guys will actually behave themselves when they are in a mixed bathroom. It is when we are alone and amongst other men , that the weird behaviors come to the fore.
EP:
We get that too sometimes. Add in a few sound effects and it becomes downright freaky.
