rug merchant
An individual, usually foreign, especially Middle Eastern, who displays goods at an inflated price in his shop, but keeps bargaining with you and offering lower prices when you say it's too expensive or you're leaving.
Term is probably rooted in the stereotype of haggling over rugs at a bazaar.

An example are the stores in tourist areas of New York City that sell trinkets and electronics. You ask them how much it is, and if you say "sorry, too high" they keep trying to lure you in with a lower price.
(In a Times Square shop)
"How much is that camera?"
"$99."
"Nah, you know that's too much..."
"For you, my friend, $90"
"No, I'm leaving."
"$80?"
"Damn rug merchant..."

Serial Monogamist
Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
