botherer
One who irritates
A botherer is someone who bothers—pestering, annoying, or disturbing others.
The word appears most often in British compounds like child botherer (a pedophile) or God botherer (an aggressively pious person who proselytizes).
On its own, botherer simply means someone who makes a nuisance of themselves.
