waste of space
Contributing nothing here
A waste of space is a person considered utterly useless or worthless—someone who contributes nothing and merely takes up room that could be better occupied.
The phrase is dismissive and insulting: He's a complete waste of space.
Less commonly, it describes objects or areas serving no purpose: That giant vase is just a waste of space.
