I often whistle, I don't consciously decide to do it, I usually just have a tune in my head and end up whistling to myself without noticing.

If you are enraged by the sound of laughing, or worse yet - breathing - then you really need to find yourself a nice little uninhabited island somewhere.

Ideally whilst holding your own breath indefinitely, so that the sound of your own traitorous lungs doesn't send you into a mad frenzy.

No, in short, you're pretty much screwed.
