It generally means how much attention a person requires, usually because they can’t handle basic shit or are constantly starting drama.
You know that one guy at work where every little problem is an intolerable burden? You know, the guy that will do mental gymnastics to interpret anything the boss does as a slight? That guy is high maintenance.
The hallmark of a high maintenance individual is when the ratio of normal, functional conversations to “oh, I guess we’re gonna talk about your shit” is way off. If you go on a date and spend the whole time talking about their family dysfunction and their beef with their friends, finish the date and politely decline another.
The problem with the Lambo, the Blonde, and the Warthog is the same: maintenance.
The odd one out is the dude, who is low maintenance. Sounds like a win for the Warthog.
I don’t know, that’s a manicured stache.

If you have someone in your life where, if they left, you would gain 1-2 hours per day that you didn’t enjoy, they are high maintenance.
