fretters
Those who worry
Fretters are people who fret—that is, who worry persistently about things, often minor ones.
The word carries a mild note of exasperation, suggesting the worrying is excessive or unproductive.
The fretters in the office panicked over every deadline, while the rest of us stayed calm.
