1) Person incapable of their own thought, who when faced with a decision, or when asked about personal opinion on something opens up her or his mouth in shock and astonishment that there is such thing as personal opinion. With mouthbreathers it happens constantly due to damage caused by upbringing by helicopter parents, or other emotionally damaging authoritarian or social influences. Can be spotted at every step of social and economic status ladders.
2) A reason why normal people invented law of the land ( equivalent of pinning a note that states "anyone who will touch my coffee cup will get their car keyed" ) and lawyers to herd those idiots away from harming normal families.
3) Equivalent to an alarmist or a zombie - AVOID AT ALL COST - prolonged exposure might lead to compromise of inner emotional barriers and contamination of own soul with
emotional AIDS. If you really want to help such person you can only put some objects in their way in hope it will trigger aha moment in them, so they will start slowly doing stuff for themselves - pretty much the same deal as when handling alcoholics. When engaging personally with help there is high chance of them making their mess your business, continuing their crazy of not doing anything for themselves.
