    I have to ask: Are you an accountant or something similar? A blind accountant perhaps?

    There is only one person in the world who could think such a thing. Hello, Eddie. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭cazzy


    Theres someone out there for everyone. I could imagine the rest of my life saving money with Eddie and getting a little natural high every time I save a cent or two.

    I'm a woman and my accountant is a woman.

    But I love her, when I think all is lost, she sorts it for me.

    So yes, Accountants are hot.

    Fact.

    Maybe the games are the opposite to accountants.

    But not the developers.

    ANYONE is hot who can sort out my nightmare accounts.:o

    But Eddie Hobbs, happy ever after, saving the cents..... Its just weird to me.
    I don't do cents....





    Theres a clue there methinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,913 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    If the lady accountant is wearing a trouser suit, low buttoned shirt, has her hair tied up and some rectangle rimmed glasses then she's hot. Otherwise no.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,502 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    Now, if I saw a nice young accounting lass driving an RS4 droptop, it'd definitely count as 'hot'

    NTM

    All I can say about the accountants I know is that their figures don't add up!

    :(

    OP, that'd be a no then. And I've dealt with my fair share of accountants.


  • Registered Users Posts: 766 ✭✭✭mkdon05


    Well i work as an accountant and still go to college part time, and all i can say is that there does be a class full of not so hot people on a Monday night.
    Obviously there are exceptions but i dont know if im one of them:D



    Also most accountants are alcoholics, so how are we boring*??

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,067 ✭✭✭FunkyChicken


    As someone who works in an accounting firm I can say right now that accountants are really really hot. Most of them anyway.

    porn accountants ftw \o/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I have had a good few accountant customers over the years. Some are a little hot but mostly... not :D
    I do not think boring is the right word though.... In the office, maybe... they need silence to concentrate etc... however... that just means once you get them out of the office they are probably just looking for an excuse to let loose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭cance


    fúckin bean counters the lot of em, you would get more excitement out of a washing machine and a carrot then eddie hobbs and his calculator.

    wealthy intelligent bean counters:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    I find it's normally a bad idea to base anyone's potential hotness on there job.

    With regards to accountants, any social interaction I have had with them has been based around them talking about some **** forms or exams or protocols and then falling over because they can't handle their drink but seeming to be proud of that fact.

    Also, most conversations seem to open with what the income will be in 5 years time.

    I've only met two accountants that I didn't want to punch straight away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    I've a couple of mates who are accountants, when they were studying I met quite a few of their classmates. Well up for a session the lot of them. Several hotties, and one who was absolutely stunning.
    Accountants can be very hot.
    As for the OP - Eddie Hobbs.... come on! :rolleyes:

    Went out with one briefly last year. She and her accountant gal-pals were all complete lashers.

    So yay to them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭The Chessplayer


    Well I'm a part-qualified accountant and I'd consider myself to be a hell of a lot better looking than that little Eddie Hobbs twerp. While there are plenty of mingers in accountancy, I don't think it's any different to other professions really. There were a good few hot girls in my last class. Wouldn't mind having a bird who is a qualified accountant , so she could help me with my exams. Would be very handy indeed :D

    Cobblers, the majority of them are only in it for the cash/steady job.

    It's a tired old cliche to say that accountants are all boring. The most boring people of all - if we are judging on profession - are I.T people, computer technicians etc. Boring, borrrrrrrrrrrrring people....all men as well - think comic-book-store guy in The Simpons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    ^^ what a pot-kettle-black moment.

    lol, an accountant calling the IT geek boring... at least most IT nuts have interests outside their jobs...

    Accountants that don't talk about accounting and aren't ugly could probably be considered sexy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭cance

    well so long as they stay in it, good for them.

    This of course does not stop them from being monotonously boring eejits.

    Ok, I don't know any accountants who talk about balance sheets and month-end accounts etc., but all computer geeks go on about is the latest gamer craze, and how their new Dell has a super-core mega processor etc.

    Correct me if I'm wrong - NO females work in IT. I can honestly say that there isn't a prevailing type nof personality that goes into accountancy, as far as I can tell anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Consider yourself corrected. There's plenty of females in IT.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭The_Hustler


    There was some study done and the majority of accountants are ESTJ personalities according to it. The E stood for extroverted. Can't remember the rest but that's enough!

    I'm doing a masters in accounting and we've been told a lot that the stereotype is long outdated. The job is more varied and interesting now with the new roles we play and it is a career full of young people


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,983 ✭✭✭leninbenjamin

    with respect to the old roles.... which were extremely dull and boring.... so now they are only somewhat dull and boring...

    oh, and watch half those young people leave the profession due to sheer boredom. if anything there's more young 'uns in a/c because all the old ones had enough... it's the ones who do it their whole lives who you have to watch out for...

    see? i can talk as much ****e as theChessplayer... :D
