nosey parkers
Those who snoop
Nosey parkers are people who pry into others' affairs—busybodies who can't resist snooping or asking intrusive questions.
The term is primarily British and mildly disapproving rather than harsh: The nosey parkers next door are always peering through their curtains.
Also spelled nosy parkers.
