Line 25:
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Northern Italy]] from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' is this to Germany initially, hanging around, irritating him and generally being useless. Despite Germany's attempts to throw him out, then ''give'' him away, he [[The Cat Came Back|always returns]]. Eventually the two become close friends, however ([[Ho Yay|if not more]]).
* In [[Black Rock Shooter]], Kagari calls Mato this and resorts to being [[Creepy Child|completely goddamned scary]] to drive her away.

* In [[Kannagi]] Jin suddenly sees his house shared with Nagi who doesn't have a hint of courtesy and gratitude in her. Though he does have some confrontations with her, he eventually sets that aside and learns to like her the way she is.
* Sakura from [[Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]] suffers greatly from this trope, since Dokuro-chan decides to live with him. Oh, and did I mention she beats the living sh*t out of him to the point of killing him? That's fine, she just resurrects him, only to kill him again and again... And there's nothing he can do, she's come to stay.
Line 96:
* And the Tim Wilson song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCSLFx4l5qU Brother In Law].
* [[Jake Thackray]]'s song ''Leopold Alcox'' is about a [[Walking Disaster Area]] relation who comes for a (long, long) visit.
