obtrusively
In your face
Obtrusively describes doing something in a way that is annoyingly noticeable or intrusive.
If someone behaves obtrusively, they force their presence or opinions on others without invitation.
The camera crew moved obtrusively through the crowd, disrupting the ceremony.
Something placed obtrusively blocks the view or gets in the way.
The word carries a negative connotation—what's obtrusive is unwelcome precisely because it refuses to stay in the background.
