Loot Listener

Loot Listeners are family members, normally distant relatives who can hear a will being read from three counties away and immediately swoop in with Post-its, Sharpies, and the subtlety of a yard-sale burglar.
"That's her cousin Karen, she's been after mum collection antique perfume bottles for years, she's what we call a Loot Listener with no class"

Kidphobe Krew

Adults or couples normally of advancing years, who board planes or cruise ships armed with noise-cancelling headphones, a death stare, and the unshakable belief that children should travel by separate catapult.

Adults who treat every crying child on a flight or cruise like a personal attack on their peace treaty with the universe.

Takeout Exile

When you are waiting for family/friends to come home for dinner then they tell you they've had takeout and not asked if you wanted anything.
Joe - "So sorry, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, fancied a Chinese and went out for food"
Jane - "We didn't think"
Joe - "You've turned Nick into a takeout exile.."
