You know someone’s a punter when…

Avatar

So I just finished saying to Dan that it has impressed me greatly that even though when we first meet him he was a total newb he has never shown the tell tail signs of being a punter.

Trouble is I couldn’t answer him when he asked for an example of punterisim.

The best thing I could come up with is when you ride a chair with a couple of people and one of them is mouthing off and talking the talk and you just roll your eyes. But again could actually give an example of said dickheadedness.

They stop in the middle of the road around a blind corner to put on/remove chains…....

Happened twice yesterday.

They take their skis off and slide down the last drop on rollercoaster before the massive long flat to ridge chair on their butts.. with skis in one hand and poles in the other.. sitting next to each other.. (2 of them) after the corner and in a massive blind spot.. I almost took the left one out at a decent speed too.. wasn’t very impressed at all.. especially since it specifically says, “no beginners past this point” as you head into rollercoaster..

And those lovely flouro coloured onesies!! The fitted ones that have the matching waist belt.

only onesies in the snow should be either animals/costumes.. Or pjs

(and I’m not taking matching jacket and pants.. Some of those can look decent.. I’m talking the full jumpsuits, from the 80s)
