nosiest
Supremely given to meddling
Nosiest is the superlative form of nosy—the most intrusive or prying.
Someone who is the nosiest asks too many personal questions or shows excessive curiosity about others' affairs: She was the nosiest neighbor on the block, always peering through her curtains.
My nosiest coworker somehow knows everyone's salary.
