A person who primarily derives pleasure from acquiring and then spreading private, sensitive, and potentially harmful information about other people. Such activities are typically their primary form of entertainment, and they usually justify their behavior by pointing out how common and "normal" it is.
My neighbor is basically a human tabloid. Every time I speak to her, she is always so damn eager to share sensitive personal information (juicy gossip) about other people, while simultaneously trying to nose her way into my own affairs, no doubt intending to spread my own dirt far and wide as well. Usually, she feigns genuine concern, but she is obviously solely motivated by the prospect of entertaining herself, because at no point does she use the information she gains to actually help anybody. What a bitch. Human tabloids like her are everywhere, so you gotta stay on your toes.

when you are out in a group at a bar or restaurant and there is a shared bill and no one has change(usually for a twenty) or the correct amount for their portion of the tab . Thus follows a complex series of illogical but correct money swaps to come out with the correct amount for the bill plus tip.
Lets settle the bill. I think we need some table math. You give me a twenty, i will put in fifteen and cover you five on your tab and then you give him a ten. That should make us even.
