Violist 

Violists are the people in an orchestra or other type of band that feel like they need to be a part of something, even if no one wants them there. They can’t take a hint as to when to stop talking and leave, but some are shy and compassionate, but that’s only 1%.

Guy 1: dude I wish that violist would leave already...
Guy 2:I know! I already stole his viola and put it outside seven times! He came back in every time!
