10 | !!This troper shows examples of: |
11 | * BerserkButton: See WhatTheHellIsThatAccent listed below. |
12 | ** Also gets up in arms when one of his favourite TV shows (''Series/GameOfThrones'', ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', or even ''Series/BreakingBad'') is criticised by one of his friends. Said [[{{TheGadfly}} friend]] hasn't watched any of them. |
13 | ** If you're friends with the guy, intentionally irritating him will also get you punched in quick fashion. It borders on a HairTriggerTemper sometimes, but he tends to manage it. |
14 | * FacePalm: Of the "pinching the bridge of the nose" variety. He has become infamous in his school year for doing it so often, even unwittingly photographed by the school photographer when a guest speaker was brought in. |
15 | * FascinatingEyebrow: Pulls this often. Usually when he sees a camera pointed at him. Hell, even when the camera isn't pointed at him. |
16 | * LastNameBasis: Half of the people he meets refer to him by this. The other half don't know his first name. |
17 | * MilitaryBrat: Both parents were in the New Zealand Army. He temporarily became slightly hostile towards his mother after she was away on a posting for three months. This hostility was somewhat lessened by the fact that he was 2 years old at the time. |
18 | ** Although it did convince her to leave the Defence Force and spend more time with her children. |
19 | * RougeAnglesOfSatin: Yes, he knows his username is spelt incorrectly. Yes, it was meant to be "Hitchhiker". No, he's not changing it anytime soon. Yes, he finds words with back-to-back h's weird (like "washhouse" and "withheld"). |
20 | * SirSwearsALot: [[PlayedWith Zigzagged]]. Around his friends, he's foul-mouthed and a threat to a nearby [[MoralGuardians Moral Guardian]], with [[ClusterFBomb F-]] and [[CountryMatters C-Bombs]] alike. Anywhere else, he'll only start laying down a series of [[ClusterFBomb F-Bombs]] when he gets pissed. |
21 | * UnexplainedAccent / WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: For some reason, he speaks with a supposedly American [[note]]although Australian and British have been suggested by actual Americans[[/note]] accent despite being born and raised in New Zealand.[[note]]Even trying to find a reason for it is difficult. He developed the accent well before he began to watch American or even foreign programming regularly.[[/note]] |
22 | ** Overlaps with his BerserkButton when he is [[MistakenNationality confused for being American]]. By fellow New Zealanders. |
23 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Managed to grow a pretty good full beard for an 18-year-old (at the time). This is probably the reason people assume that he's in his early to mid 20s (21-25 have been suggested by co-workers and strangers alike). |
