Emnnoyee

Pronunciation: em - NOI - ee

Sentence: Though Gilbert is a real good friend of mine, I have to admit that he was being a total emnnoyee when he kept asking me if I was going to get that jacket or not. I've said "Maybe" a thousand times and I swear he said "Are you taking that jacket?" a million more times. I could have sworn he was just being an ass just because that jacket I was trying on was the jacket he stashandcarried a month ago and worked hard for in that shop. Now, that makes me think. He wasn't being an ass by being a totally sucky emnnoyee... it was me who was the ass! I feel like I'm getting to know Gilbert and his emnnoyeeness more with this rational sentence construction.

Etymology: employee (someone who works for) + annoy (to disturb or bother in an irritating way)

Or ENNOYEE would also work. Darn, it's just one of those late ideas!
