Sheridan Whiteside is The Man Who Came to Dinner, in an old Broadway play (and movie) of that name. He's a celebrity asked to a relatively normal family's home for dinner, due to his renown. But he slips on the ice outside, breaks a leg, and moves in to recover, for endless weeks, during which he commandeers the services of the entire household, utterly disrupts their normal routines and, above all, is totally oblivious to his impact. He is magnificently absorbed in his own needs, comfort and, er, security.
