Professional Friend Hopper

Someone who doesn't want any of the commitments of friendship but wants to reap all the rewards that come with having that or those friends. They're never there when you need them but never have a problem asking you for things or help. They're in the "friendship" for all the wrong reasons.
"Have you ever noticed how none of their friends remain friends for very long? Like they may know a lot of people and talk to a lot of people but they never hang out anymore?"
Only professional friend hoppers jump from group to group or person to person like that.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
