Charmless: To borrow a term from Mrs. McCarthy. Sid might be quite slick at talking himself out of things, but when it comes to the important, emotional stuff? He has a tendency to get a bit tongue-tied. Either he stumbles a bit, or he talks around the situation or he just comes out sarcastic, angry and rude. Or some combination thereof.
Poor Self-Control: Not quite the same thing as impulsivity, Sid is quite capable of carefully planning out something without ever giving any thought to whether it’s something he really should be doing. Which is not to say he isn’t also impulsive. He’s been known to impulsively pocket wads of cash, and his usual reaction to hearing that someone he cares about is in danger is to abruptly run to them so he can quietly fret in their general vicinity. But he also does stuff like immediately and noisily buy a motorcycle with the fifty pounds he found on a train that someone was thrown off of.
Iconoclastic: Sid has a kneejerk annoyance at any sort of authority. He has been known to purposely bait people, including (especially) police, just because it amused him. If given an order, or even a request, by someone he feels hasn’t earned that right, his instinctive reaction is to do the exact opposite. This has also been known to happen with people he does respect, if he thinks the request is inane enough (e.g., ask him to find a discreet place to store a coffin and he might decide that’s your kitchen).
(Google Drive says that's 259 works. I hope that's better?)
EDIT: I've just realized that my answer to the "canon point" question has mysteriously vanished! Since I can't edit the original anymore, I'll put it here.
