Why he might be annoying:

He delivered the bad news that the 'unsinkable' Titanic will sink.

Why he might not be annoying:

He is a gentleman and he is adored by anyone he worked with.
He once climbed an 80-foot scaffold to rescue a man who had been trapped up there by high winds.
He entered the Royal Belfast Academical Institution at age of 11.
Although his uncle owned the shipyard, he didn't enjoy any favoritism. Instead, he worked hard to gain his job position.
He enjoyed working at the shipyard and called his workers 'his pals.'
During the Titanic's final hours, he searched every stateroom to encourage the passengers to wear their life jacket and make their way to the lifeboats.
