What's the (derogatory) word for a person who doesn't leave you alone [on hold]
The kind of person who sticks to you all the time, like a chewing gum. You want to get rid of him, but at every party he comes and joins your group. And he just doesn't get the message that people don't want him around.
In hindi we call him a "chep" (sticky)

My first thought was 'stalker' - but the obsessiveness is not quite the same degree in your question, so not quite right I would say.

- wanting to be with another person all the time in a way that is annoying.
