I need an insult.

No, I don’t mean insult me! I need a word for a story. A character is telling someone else about taking care of a terminally ill family member, and mentions “arguing on the phone with the insurance company [somethings].”

Now, no offense to you insurance company people! I’m just looking for a non-profane, one-word term to describe people who frustrate you. Like “fuckwits”, except I can’t use that term because as I said, it can’t be a swear. And I’m sure you know why I posted this here instead of the Cafe: because this is where all the vitriol is.

Also, some people might be proud to know that, since I also needed a band name for this story, I used one of the perennial SD band names!

Now, bring 'em on! Be creative! Show me what you got!

(Thanks in advance!)
