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"
