OBLIGATIONIST

One who obligates;

Yes, you know one ... Perhaps you are one? It's that person who's name causes you to roll your eyes and taste the metallic acid of dread in the back of your throat. The Obligationist is the reason that you screen your calls. The Obligationist is the person behind the dreaded holiday dinner that ruins the spirit for the day. The Obligationist is the person who "volunteers" to help you out, just to be "a friend", then reminds you of that favor for the rest of your living days. The Obligationist is the person who is somehow in your life, but you can not figure out what terrible thing you did, in this life or some other, that you should deserve this. The Obligationist is a vile person who feeds on your life energy so it can feel alive.

This is someone who keeps showing up in your life like dog crap on your shoe. This person is a continuous source of frustration and irritation. A gnat circling your head in the night, it's incessant buzzing waking you just before you drop off into peaceful sleep. They are like a rash that will not go away. Obligationism is an art form for the losers of our world ... It is a black art. A dark craft practiced by people without a clear vision of "self".

They will find something that you need, or get involved with someone who you can not avoid. It is as difficult to rid yourself of the Obligationists as it is to rid your body of a wart, or an infestation of lice ... Serious measures must be taken. The question is; Are you willing to do what must be done? The Obligationist will always try to have some sort of hold on you. It is not easy to escape once one has latched on.
DAMN!, It's that girl who left her panties at my house last weekend calling again! What an OBLIGATIONIST!

obligate introvert

Someone who "opts out" of plenty potential social situations, regardless of whether they do want to participate or not—opts out not by their own will, but because they "have to" because of unchangeable or similar circumstances.
Susie is an obligate introvert; instead of following a proper public school education, due to a myriad of sensible reasons, she learns shit at home using Acellus, Wikipedia, her parents' biased political opinions, reality shows, and homeschool textbooks. The downside or "opportunity cost" of this is that she is unable to make friends face-to-face at school. She instead meets them mostly on the internet...

Obligatory Crap

When someone gives you a hassle because they are supposed to, not because they mean it.
I'm surprised your wife let you play golf today? She gave me some obligatory crap, but she wanted to go shopping anyway.

obligatory slowdown

When you're speeding and everything around you slows down to the speed limit, you had better do like wise. Somebody with a radar detector or a keen eye knows more than you.
I was bird-dogging fifteen over on I-whatever when somebody saw a cop ahead, so we all did the obligatory slowdown for the next mile before lighting up again.
