An impromptu, low-class gathering at someone's house after the death of a loved one, featuring cheap beer, box wine, cold-cuts, Ritz crackers, and cigarettes.
Dave: "Hey Diana, what's going on down the street? There's a bunch of pick-up trucks and scuzzy people standing around drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, and talking... but I don't hear any music. Is it some kinda party?"
Diana: "You know that old guy down the street with all the broken down cars and appliances on his front lawn? Well, his wife died the other day, so they're having a redneck shiva."

Being a Shiva basically means that you are a..... obsessive, bitchy, angry, 40-year-old-virgin, who has no motive in life and is super obsessed about a certain someone even though they don't feel the same towards you, so you spoil them with gifts trying to get their acceptance. Also, you blame the world for all your problems. You have no drive in life and you blame the world for that. Also, you're ugly, fat, and will forever be alone due to your anxiety or driving. Which is why you only go distances within a mile radius of your residence. And you have no life so you just play league all day and sit and wait for your friends that you take for granted to come online and guilt trip them into gaming with you until day breaks... and the list goes on and on.
Bro, stop "being a shiva"! You make me really uncomfortable. I accept you for who you are and all but I don't feel the same way towards you.

By usual definition - a shiva is an expendable employee used by a company like a tool. This term is associated with multitasking, when managers/supervisors push the employee beyond their means in order to get one task done then another, then another, racking it up to a good list of things to do in a full day of work.
The typical shiva is overworked and underpaid.

"Hey mate, I know you're busy loading trucks right now, could you clean the freezers and blast rooms for me please?" The manager tells you.
You say, "Do you think I'm a fuckin' shiva, mate?"
"That's it little shiva, you're only worth what we pay you."
"There's Robby again being picked on by the boss." "Man, he's giving him the shiva treatment."
