Office tunes, Office chants, Office animal noises - go on & on & on year after monotonous year by the the same boring bunch of cretinous sheep. And then posties complain when management treat them like cretinous sheep. :left:

Whistling the tune from 'The Great Escape' seems to lift morale around here... :dance
One particular DOM that we had was an absolute uber-arsehole and seemed to have that Napoleon complex, that being he would make up for his lack of physical stature and personality by attempting to big himself up by belittling others; employing overtly unnecessarily heavy-handedness and conduct coding people for even the slightest misdemeanour. Well in his case the deliberate and wholesale whistling of the Oompa Loompa song from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory became an essential form of psychological insubordination across the entire shop floor and suffice to say he went off with (apparently) a major mental breakdown and that particular turd hasn't been seen since! :nana :Boo hoo! :funneh :wave
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

We've the usual Animal Noises etc. The whistling does my head in, no good telling anyone to shut up though because then you get ALL that aisle doing it :left: Yesterdays tune of the day by one postie was Londons Burning, wonder if he knows something we don't :hmmmm
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

OK... Office tunes do come in useful to target a manager, but other than that it just seems so juvenile.

Has he had a visit from the Old Bill.
That's not foresight, that's incitement.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I thought you were the same office as me for a moment, until I read further down. Whistling Laurel and Hardy is also popular in our office. In fact, there is a picture of them on the union room door with the caption 'Another fine mess' :chuckle It is done towards one manager in particular who gets really wound up by it. Actually not done so much lately as we have a half decent DOM and half decent managers too. But P & L is coming up, so I'm sure the familar refrain will be striking up again soon! :chuckle
You must understand that I am here purely as A BEARER OF MESSAGES.
