what is it about these morons with blowing their whistles?

do they do it for the sense of power? does the uniform make them feel like they are something, even though they probably get paid less in a month than I make in an hour.

is it just to show off?

is it just to annoy people?

 

one was blowing his whistle this afternoon for nor reason at all, there was no traffic or pedestrians crossing the street, he was just blowing for blowings sake...

 

absolute wingnuts if you ask me!

bob.

Bob, mate, have you ever, just once in your miserable career as a human, gone outside without immediately finding something to throw a tantrum about in Thailand?

 

Yesterday it was the missing seat belts in taxis. Today it's whistles, is it? That’s the great social injustice that’s sent you shuffling to your keyboard? Not the corruption, the crime, the heat, the traffic, the pollution, the rising price of bar fines, but a man blowing a whistle?

 

So you were walking down the street, minding your own business (for once in your life, allegedly), when suddenly, a security guard had the audacity to…do his job.

 

And your first thought wasn’t something normal like “Oh, maybe he’s signaling something,” or even “Ah well, not my problem,” but rather:

 

1. “This man is doing this purely to annoy me, Blagging-Bob, personally.”

2. “I must document this outrage immediately and moan about it online.”

3. “I shall call him a moron and a wingnut and take this to the highest court of public opinion in the world: an anonymous expat forum where nobody gives a toss.”

 

Bob, you absolute whinger of the highest order, it’s a whistle FFS. This is Thailand. Noise is part of the deal. You live in a place where motorbikes with afterburners fly past your window at 3 AM, where street vendors announce their presence with loudspeakers strapped to their pushbikes, where bars pump out EDM at jet-engine decibels, but no, this guy’s little whistle is what shattered your delicate corner of blissful paradise today.

 

And the best part? We all know exactly what happened next. You didn’t just walk past and carry on like a normal person. Oh no. You stood there. You glared. Maybe even puffed up your chest like some furious little pigeon, composing in your mind your next shocking forum post about another horrific injustice you experienced in Thailand.

 

Because that’s what this always comes down to, doesn’t it? Bob vs. Thailand. Bob against the world. Every single day, some minor inconvenience sends you into a frothing rage and you go into a tizzy acting like it’s a personal attack against you.

 

So here’s a little idea for you, Bobby Blumpkin. Instead of fuming over a bloke doing his job, consider some mental health therapy for your crippling, all-consuming rage at the tiniest inconveniences. Because at the end of the day, the only person truly blowing hot air for no reason—

 

Is you.

I remember that song ,was it early 2000's?

"You can blow my whistle baby,blow my whistle baby "

I actually enjoy it when Thai girls whistle at me.

With 16 of those hours wasted on AN, posting utter rubbish while sitting there in your tasteless Hawaiian shirt. Nice!

I hate the whistle blowers as well. Especially when backing in to a parking space. Can't stand em.

OP, please avoid walking under any trees.

 

I want to be spared a tirade post about how the birds crapped on you, thereby displaying good judgment.

They do love their whistles, small pleasure in their job

There is a shopping/restaurant area in Chiang mai nice place to sit for lunch.  But, two guards constantly blowing their whistles for what seems no reason only way to get thru it is wear noise canceled headphones.

It is annoying and way over done.  Yes,  I believe some power trip in many cases unnecessary.

Nobody likes an imposter.

Security guards in Thailand often carry whistles as a readily available way to attract attention and call for help in an emergency situation, as the loud sound of a whistle can easily alert others nearby, especially in crowded areas or when verbal communication might not be effective; it serves as a quick and powerful signal to potentially deter potential threats or summon backup if needed.

we went out for dinner the other night and when we were parking on a side street in front of other cars on the outside of a buildings fence on the public road  we had a security guard start blowing his whistle telling us we were not allowed to park there. There were no "no parking" signs at all, he just thought they owned the public road outside their fenceline, we were at least 3 plus metres away from the entry as well, I got rather upset with the idiot and told him so, explained it was a public road and they didnt own it but my wife ended up moving because she is old fashioned thai and doesnt like upsetting anyone. Some of these security guards tend to get a bit full of themselves and think they have the rights to tell everyone else what they can and cant do so they blow their whistles just to show everyone how big they think their appendage is and to make themsleves look important when they are not.

I assume that was generated by AI. In reality, blowing whistles doesn't accomplish any of those things, because when they are being blown everywhere, virtually nonstop, for any reason or no reason, people stop paying attention to them. Rather than thinking there's an emergency, people assume -usually correctly - that it's just some idiot with an ill-fitting uniform showing off his self-imagined power.

Keeping themselves from falling asleep

maybe they can get new jobs as college basketball refs?

my experience with whistle-blowing security guards / parking attendants looks like they are trying to be helpful when I am backing into a parking space.  However, I find it more of a distraction than a help -- especially when the car has mirrors, a reverse camera with parking guideline overlays, and sensors that make sounds when near collision.  I just try to ignore it.
