My office-mate and I discovered this word today and it just tickled us:
Marplot: A stupid, officious meddler whose interference spoils the success of an undertaking (After Marplot, a character in The Busy Body, a play by Susanna Centlivre (1667-1723)).
Now we have a new code word for our most infamous "citizen activists" who are actually marplots.
