friends without benefits

Literally, as a reversal of the common expression "friends with benefits" this could mean any platonic friendship--but there are already plenty of words for that most-common of relationships. Friends without benefits describes a particular type of a situation where you've outgrown or are tired of a friend but through some force of habit (on either person's part really) they're still in your life. But there's no benefit to the relationship for you. They keep calling you up and acting like everything's everything when you're around but you're so relieved when they hang up or leave. And nothing really bad has happened that you could point to and "break up" with them. So you plod onward making excuses and dreading the next time they call. Happens most often with borderline sociopaths who are unable to pick up on the stream of cues you give them that they're unwelcome. Also requires you to be too empathic to simply tell them to fuck off. Mutual history also plays a part in this. May be more common in middle age.

I'm not even answering that. Just more friends without benefits probably.

friends with penalties 

A friend that you don't want to stop being friends with, but they are always the source of bad shit, aka penalties.

*You often have to pay for things for them because they "forgot their wallet".
*Every time you're trying to score a number, they come over and say something to ruin your chances.
*They're always saying things around others that get you into fights, or almost do.
*Every time you plan a night out with them they cancel and you're left trying to figure out what to do.

Friend: "Hey man I saw you talking to that girl, did you get her number?"
You: "Nah man, X came over and said Y... then she took off."
Friend: "Damn, that sucks. Why would he say that?"
You: "friends with penalties shakes head"
