foul-weather friend 

The opposite of a fair-weather friend, a foul-weather friend only seeks you out if they have a problem, need a shoulder to cry on, a ride to town or someone to watch their dog, but otherwise they act as if they don't even know you. They're only your chum when they're glum.

A foul-weather friend will never call you to go out with other friends, go to a show or just go hang out, but the minute trouble comes, your foul-weather friend knows you are good old reliable you, the one who will listen when no one else will, and they act like you're their only friend. Don't expect the same in return either. When you've got a problem, they'll usually tell you not to bring them down.

Foul-weather friend 

A friend who is there for you when your down, but is no where to be seen when your happy.

He is a foul-weather friend, he is always there for me but I never see him when I’m happy.

foul-weather friend 

A foul-weather friend is the opposite of a fair-weather friend. A fair-weather friend is your friend when your life is fine, and times are good but they abandon you when you have a problem, lose your job, etc.

A foul-weather friend is someone who likes to be around you when you are unemployed, depressed and in the dumps. He/she feels sorry for you, and gets some pleasure out of feeling superior, handing out advice, berating you for having a bad attitude. As soon as you get out of the slump, get a job, get in shape, get a decent place to live, etc., the fair weather friend is jealous, and stops speaking to you.

Now that you are not a total loser, the foul-weather friend can't stand you.

As soon as I got a new job and a decent place to live, my foul-weather friend stopped speaking to me.

foul weather fan 

A sports fan who only supports his team when they struggle. They routinely root for the under dog.

It can also be applied to fans of other things, in particualar indie music. When a band makes it big, their foul weather fans will write them off as "sellouts."

Opposite of fair-weather fan, one who only supports a sports team when they do well.

Bob only liked the Giants until they won 88 games in 2009. Now that they won the 2010 World Series, he won't go to games any more. What a foul weather fan.

Jay only liked Indie Snob Band #675 until they made it big with their hit "Two Chords" which succeeded to to the lack of Dave Navarro and his 2 chords of bland on the airwaves.

Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear 

"If you 'prepare for the worst' by bringing along extra jackets/gloves, an umbrella, etc., then the skies will be sunny and mild all the time you're 'out 'n' about'. But if you decide to leave all that stuff behind at home and set out on your trip in just your ordinary street-clothes, there'll be a bleepin' MONSOON or HURRICANE!

The morning started out kinda overcast and nippy, so I brought an umbrella, thick hoodie-jacket, and gloves with me when I set out to run some errands around town. Well, naturally, once I got a fair distance from home and thus I didn't wanna traipse all the way back to put everything away again, the sun came out and the day got really warm, and so I was just feverishly lugging all that extra stuff around with me for nothing... classic case of "Murphy's Law of Foul-Weather Gear", I guess.

The fouweather 

When you try to seduce a gay twink with cash and gifts, but all you get is an unsatisfactory tap on the tip from your passenger seat in the works car park.

That bastard did the fouweather on me. Spent loads of cash and he didn’t even suck me off.
