naggers

They won't stop

Naggers are people who nag—who pester or badger others with persistent complaints, reminders, or requests.

The word carries negative connotations, implying the complaints are excessive or unwelcome: The naggers in the office won't stop asking about the report.

It's worth noting this word sounds similar to a racial slur, which can make speakers hesitant to use it.
