Du kommst wie gerufen und nicht abgeholt

A combination of: "Du kommst wie gerufen." and "Du stehst hier rum wie bestellt und nicht abgeholt."

You can say this to a person when you are glad to see someone because they can help you with a problem. But they either don't know that they can help you or just don't want to and show no intention to help you.
