Dat one whiny/grumpy outing-participant who makes things miserable for both himself and everyone else in da walking-group. Da "growler" described in Maine author Leroy Dudley's "Chimney Pond Tales" book comes to mind as a classic example.
True story from last fall --- despite my careful map-drawing and diligent following of signs, I got temporarily mixed up while traversing unfamiliar roads to join about a half-dozen other middle-aged folks who were gonna hike a peaceful woods-trail to a lovely coastal inlet. Da group's guide had spoken wif me on da phone beforehand and thus knew dat I was super-interested in coming, however, and so he had gently asked everyone to wait a few more minutes till I came barreling into da trail-head's parking lot and apologetically sprinted over to join da group; I was super-grateful dat everyone was good-natured about my unforeseen tardiness, and therefore didn't view me as a sabotour!

For some divorced husbands, having to pay alamony actually feels comparably painful to being killed in action at the infamous Mexican chapel.

Get the Alamonymug. An ultra-forgiving and soft-hearted dude --- often a clean-living fellow who is financially-solvent and caring/respectful to everyone, but who seldom is able to "hang on to" a lady for more than a month or two because he is somewhat naive/awkward and/or he simply lacks "hot hunk" appeal --- whom a selfish/irresponsible lady views as merely a "spare tire" --- she keeps "running back to him" over and over again each time her successive brief flings with other guys go sour... like many of the other gals who have briefly dated him, she actually gets along okay with this one particular dude most of the time --- he always treats her with kindness and respect, and he's "always there for her" and helps her out with stuff in her life. But then whenever she meets someone new, she gets all starry-eyed and flippantly brushes off the clueless guy in her eager reckless headlong dash for seemingly greener pastures, but then when the new dude gets fed up with her mindlessly-consumptive ways and/or shallow attitude and goes off in a huff again, she immediately comes bawling and blubbering back to her "original" guy in floods of penitent tears --- "How could I have ever even DREAMED of leaving you? How utterly STUPID of me... you are indeed the best thing that ever happened to me!" (Yeah, sure --- just until she meets somebody else, that is, and then here we go all over again!)
Clueless dude with his heart on his sleeve: I hate being a go-to guy for a lot of the gals I meet... I wanna be one of the "regular tires" on their car, not just the spare donut to rattle around in their trunk and then briefly slap on whenever one of their "regular tires" blows out, and then get casually tossed back into the trunk as soon as another "regular tire" comes along!

Get the go-to guymug. Da premium (and premium-PRICED) brand of moo-juice dat your roomie always insists on choosing at da supermarket, and you (A) cannot for da life of you tell any difference in taste from just da regular $1.23-cheaper-per-gallon ($4.99 vs. da $3.76 state-minimum price) "generic" store brand, and (B) always have to end up buying full gallon-jugs (even if there was only a small amount left in da bottle to begin with) of said outrageously-priced premium-brand milk for said roomie whenever you drank his up because you were absolutely crazy-thirsty and da supermarket was closed at da time.
I try to tell my roomie dat da store-brand of milk is actually identical to his confounded Oakcursed brand; the jug just gets slapped wid a different label --- "It's all just da same milk from da same farms and comes from da very same creamery, Dude --- you're just payin' extra fer da premium name!" --- but he won't listen... claims dat "da generic stuff is nasty", whereas da premium brand "tastes a lot fresher and more flavorful". Yeah, right --- just like "da old records sound better", as opposed to da modern CDs dat were made from da very same master-tapes! :P :P
