The Moocher Muse

My first post is about the person that started it all, my brother. His slothful existence has catapulted me into compiling stories of others that have been frustrated by freeloaders.
My brother, whom I will call Ernie, was laid off from a well known corporate company over a year ago. For the last ten years that he worked there in the marketing department, making a good amount of money with numerous perks, he continued to live in my parent's garage. He owned 2 motorcycles, a car, traveled a couple of times a year, and bought all the latest tech gadgets. With his good salary and minimal amout of "rent" that he paid my parents, he was living on Easy Street.
Over a year ago, he got laid off. He spent the first months afterwards traveling and having fun although he stopped paying rent. Strangely enough, he could still afford to shop and travel, but was unable to contribute to the household. As time has gone on, he has had numerous excuses of why he hasn't found work. I could go on, but basically, he spends his days exercising & stealing broadband to watch porn.
My retired parents want to rent the house out, but that is on hold until my brother finds a job. . .
