My friend whistles tunes all day at work.. but she has an old man kinda whistle..

Does anyone else here whistle, or has it faded out of fashion?

I dont whistle although i tell you what i find amusing when someone does something that draws loads of attention to them
selves and they know it to pretend that i does not bother them they either whistle a tune or do a series of dee dee dah dah's fucking muppets

when i am in the barn working with the horses ...

but mostly i humm tunes all day long

I can't whistle

I'm so rubbish

I want to know how to whistle with my fingers, I think it's nice how people whistle for a cab. Does anyone know how to?

can you try to tell me, please

I tend to hum along to songs rather than whistle. I try and make a concious effort not to whistle!

I can't whistle. Never learned how or I just simply can't. I can only whistle if I breath in instead of blow out.

Never could learn to roll my tongue into a taco either.

Wow, I know people who can only whistle by sucking air in.. one of my exes did and it was so funny.. quite cute really..


My niece (5) can whistle by rolling her tongue into a taco..

Yep! I wonder what the deal is with that whole thing.. why some can and some can't.

I was always so angry when my mom, dad or brother would whistle. I'd secretly practice in my room trying to get it right. Or, they could always put their two fingers in their mouth and make those loud whistles... can't do that either. I have a whistle malfunction.

Funny story about whistling: I used to work for an attorney who would ALWAYS whistle the same song as he was walking down the hall in the office where I worked. It sounded like a military march song or something. I always knew when he was coming down the hall, because I would hear the whistling, and sure enough, there he would be.
