Usually someone utterly, totally useless, but can be applied to inanimate objects. Lacking any empowerment, thus going so far as to be inactively obstructive.
Etymology: in the UK a number of large companies operate call-centres. When one attempts to call these to complain, the usual response from the responder (the call-centre operative) is feigned interest in the issue, involving lengthy explanations, then the final response is that they cannot authorise the issue in question as due to lack of authority. The issues can be of any magnitude. When asked to be passed to a manager, they claim the manager is unavailable and will call back (this is the inactive-obstructive part). This never occurs, so one calls again. The situation recurses.

I attempted to wipe my arse with some own-brand toilet paper, after wiping the paper looked clean but the disgusting skiddies in my kecks later showed it was as useless as a call-centre operative.

Get the Tiff Sleeping on the callmug. The act of getting or making a friend reqest on a social network site at 3am after a lonely night or drinking.
It's like a booty call, but in cyber space it's a computie call.
On Facebook, you get a friend request from your stalking ex-girlfriend at 3 am. "It's 3 am I must be lonely..." Yeah, it's like that.

Get the Computie Callmug. A man who is willing to let a younger woman give him a Booty Call, and be her sub or toy as directed, especially so she can see or feel a sperm shower.

Get the Shooty Callmug. Something you should always do right away. Comes from olden-times when families all lived together. Typically the auntie was the most upset if not called to dinner.

Get the call your auntie to dinnermug. A controversial mobile game that has decent battle royale and interesting MP game modes. The controversy starts with ranked MP as it's known that the game is using a highly controversial EOMM (engagement optimised matchmaking) system instead of a fairer SBMM (skill based matchmaking. Another spark of controversy is 'mythic' weapons and skins that cost real money. They perform no better than the vanilla weapons, only produce special effects when an enemy is killed with the mythic version. One of the best gamemodes in my opinion is BR in Alcatraz and is one of the only reasons I keep codm installed on my phone. The non ranked MP is decent enough. But ranked MP is a controversial and rigged mess.
Battle royale in Alcatraz is the only decent game mode in call of duty mobile. Ranked team deathmatch can be thousands of times more difficult than doom on ultra nightmare difficulty.
