Please help me find a medical term and definition.
I'm looking to find the proper term for someone who ignores you, unless they need you to do something for them. "Size larg asshat" fits, but I'm looking for something better. Thanks, folks.

The Scottish term would be "Skag" : opportunist, parasite, freeloader.
This would be applicable to friends and relatives. Not as relevant to the workplace since there are numerous situations that may arise where someone does not interact with you until they need you to perform a task.

I believe that is a trait of manipulative behavior.

The correct medical term is “ignoranus”. A portmanteau word composed from “ignore” and “anus”.

"Teenager," from ancient Latin, meaning, "self-assuredness associated with knowing more than one's parents," and of course the Greek, meaning, "self-absorbed until in need of a hand-out."

What you describe is a trait of psychopaths.
The Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is composed of 20 salient traits that a psychopath may have:
Pathological lying Glib and superficial charm Grandiose sense of self Need for stimulation Cunning and manipulative Lack of remorse or guilt Shallow emotional response Callousness and lack of empathy Parasitic lifestyle Poor behavioral controls Sexual promiscuity Early behavior problems Lack of realistic long-term goals Impulsivity Irresponsibility Failure to accept responsibility Many short-term marital relationships Juvenile delinquency Revocation of conditional release Criminal versatility

I call them "Users" and then I just don't call them or answer them ever again.
