Backwards to a Foreword

I started these writings with the intent of making mostly comedic style social observations. But opinions are like arseholes- everyone's got one- and as if often the way- the original intent is not what has eventuated, as the darker side of my mind has been very much in control lately.

All my writings are essentially a point of view or recollections of lived experiences. As with witness statements, which are not admissible as evidence in court due to the high rate of inaccuracy- sometimes what I feel, think or remember won't be the same as other people who may have been present for the same events.

They are my thoughts, feelings and memories, and may not necessarily represent those of people represented in them.

Things that shit me #2- People who whistle indoors

I used to work with a man who had many irritating habits. Amongst them was that he would whistle in the office.

There are many things you can manage to tune out, such as the clicking of fake fingernails on a keyboard- annoying, but consistent enough that you can gradually ignore it as you get used to it. Whistling show tunes in an open plan office is not one of them.

It was combined with him being of some professional seniority, and of the level of smug twattiness that you really couldn't ask him to stop. He was, in fact, enough of a dick that I could almost believe he did it just to annoy people.

It also led to fantasies of how you could make him shut up. I won't go into too much detail of some of the modes I imagined, suffice to say that you would not longer have the ability to whistle after your face met with a chainsaw now, would you?
