Those who butt in
Interferers are people or things that interfere—that get in the way, meddle, or disrupt.
The word appears in technical contexts describing signal interference Radio interferers can degrade reception and in everyday complaints about meddlesome people The interferers from corporate kept second-guessing our decisions.
