Why not?  A loud 'hoot' is one of the easiest noises to make.  Would you rather they sat still and silent like marble statues?


Yes.
It's better working with statues than gibbons when you're dealing with propane torches, conc. sulphuric acid, radioactive samples, toxic fumes and potassium cyanide. Much less distracting when you're working with safety hazards.

I don't understand people who hoot loudly when they're suppose to put the exact amount of one toxic reagent into another, drop by drop.
It's startling.

Why indeed? Last week as the builders were finishing up they're lazy assed work there was a notable increase in hooting and jappery. I guess that whipping themselves up into a frenzy serves to mark a communal milestone and further bonding amongst the group. Spirits were indeed high that day, though the question remains, why was it so low throughout the job?
