pesterers
Those who annoy
Pesterers are people who repeatedly bother or annoy others, typically by making unwanted requests or demands.
The term carries a mildly negative connotation, suggesting persistence that crosses the line from merely asking into harassment.
The celebrity hired security to keep the pesterers away from her home.
Unlike stalkers, pesterers are usually more annoying than threatening.
