We all have acquaintances just like her. The ones who bring nothing to the table and expect everyone else to provide the entertainment. These are the same people who show with only a bag of chips for the BBQ, eat free food and leave just before everyone starts cleaning up.

This reminds me of a friend of my husband's -- the guy is such a freakin' freeloader, it's embarrassing (apparently not embarrassing enough for him, because he keeps doing this shit). Here are some primo examples:
1. He's invited for dinner, insists on buying the steaks (we're doing a grill outdoors thing), or at least on saying he'll buy them. Late in the day, decides instead he'll bring "the beer". Shows up that evening with "the beer" -- as in ONE BOTTLE OF BEER (a larger-than-normal bottle, granted, but not for more than two people who don't drink a lot of beer).
2. On another occassion, brings over a bottle of wine from his parents' house -- which bottle of wine is ALREADY OPEN! He says it's fine, because his parents have one of those air-sucker-outer cork-and-vacuum contraptions.
3. My husband tells this guy (!!) that I think he's a cheapskate (another story all its own), and the next time he shows up at the house, he brings over an almost-empty bag of chips and an old container of salsa (replete with crust around the edge of the jar).
Ha-fucking-ha.
