Driven to Madness
Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Workplace whistles
If you're one of those people who whistle at work - and we're talking office jobs here - I will hunt you down and I will cut you. You hear me? Stop fucking whistling you wanker.
Edit: Just found this out. A bunch of people at work have been given new phones. The default ring tone is an irritating whistle. No-one has changed it and no-one silences their phones. The cause of a great deal of recent stress to me has been a ring tone... so, on to people who don't silence their phone...

There's a solution
I can't stand people whistling/humming/singing just one line from a song they've been earwormed by. It's not really their fault, but it's annoying.
So, rather than get upset, I start retaliating with the theme from The Great Escape.
Try it. Instantly knocks anything else out of their tiny mind. I once got the entire staff of a busy pub humming it.

Heh, may try that on the annoying girl who keeps loudly humming the chorus to "Call Me Maybe".

I do this
Sorry. I don't like it when people do it either (see my answer this week). I don't know I'm doing it though. It just happens. What makes it even worse is I can't whistle.

I sometimes do this...
... at work but mostly at home.
It drives my wife spare but I often don't consciously realise that I'm doing it. She says she feels guilty asking me to stop because it means I'm in a good mood but it really seems to drive her potty.
Can't understand it myself.
