    People who have the theme from 'The good, the bad and the ugly' as their text message ringtone and then leave their phone on their desk with the volume turned up while they go to lunch and get like 5 texts in a row

    That's some kind of sound

    A big one for me is someone who stands up to a bully on behalf of a weaker guy. It's not an easy thing to do but it's a good sign that someone has a lot of integrity.

    Someone who is genuinely, laugh out funny, and is so without resorting too much of insulting people or 'bantz'; not that there's anything wrong with ripping the piss, but the person who doesn't need to resort to that all the time is usually less of a prick.

    Another kind of funny person that I think generally denotes a sound person is when they mightn't be actively funny, have a particularly strong sense of humour, they don't tell "jokes" and they don't go around trying to get reactions out of people.

    They're just really sound, friendly, everything they say is said with a smile on their face and you just like being around them.

    I know a few lads like that - they wouldn't win any comedy awards but that doesn't stop me having a stupid grin on my face at all times when I'm around them.

    People who let you out of side roads.

    People who give you parking tickets that have a bit of time left on them.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,642 ✭✭✭MRnotlob606


    They'll offer you some material goods, even without the possibility of you reciprocating the deed. They also make good sex partners.

    We used to leave ours in the parking spot outside to stop other cars parking in the spot while we were gone out, but anytime the neighbour would notice it they would bring it back in and someone would inevitably park in the spot.

    They had good intentions though.

    They make an excuse to walk away when someone starts gossiping and talking about other people not present.

    - an oul flash of the hazards

    Is that last one a euphemism?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭Virgil°


    People who are capable of being the butt of a joke the odd time without getting ratty or defensive.

    So many times i see these self proclaimed funny lads who'll make fun of anything or anyone but get snide or personal when the spotlight turns on them.

    Its very refreshing to find someone who can take a bit of a slagging with a smile on their face, love it.

    Hammer89, you're bang on for pointing out my unintentional euphemisms.

    They tell you to jump in front of them at the checkouts when they see you only have one or two items to their trolley full.

    Just signed in to comment that one! On Saturday I took home a stray cat that was begging and trying to get into my workplace, the poor thing was shivering and obviously someone's pet. Such a friendly little thing. Anyway I got a lend of a cat box thingy to take her home and decided to drop into aldi on the way to pick up some catfood and litter. The cat was meowing the whole drive home so I thought I'd better be quick in the shop. Grabbed the two items and politely asked the lady in the shortest que would she mind if I went ahead as I've only two items and have a distressed cat in the car. She said no. Oh right then, nice one. Pure awkward 6-7 minutes while she got served! I should have probably wrote this one in the w@nker thread.

    People who grab cigarettes out of their friend's mouths/hands, throw them down a drain... while legging it away and shouting "saved your life, AGAIN!" :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 607 ✭✭✭sonny.knowles


    Someone who steals a pair of their ma's skids upon request.

    Ideally before washing?

    Would 2 waves suffice? One to acknowledge and one to thank them.
