extremophile 

A person who deliberately or subconsciously seeks, exaggerates or fabricates drama and/or chaos in otherwise non-chaotic environments to create a sense of emotional equilibrium or normalcy. A constellation of behaviors often associated with survival of traumatic events. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders would catigorize this as Borderline or Histrionic personality disorder, often associated with PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.

I nominate this as an alternate definition to the biological use of the term.
My 'extremophile' neighbor is a drama-queen! She always has a list of people who have offended her in one way or another. She's a person who turns perfectly solvable problems into epic unresolvable ones.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
