Ubiquitous Porcupine 

A person who is always around, usually with spiky hair-hence the porcupine. Every corner, every hallway. There is no escaping the uncomfortable eye contact and awkward conversation intrusions. Wherever you go, there will always be a ubiquitous porcupine that you will never escape from.

Ubiquitous Porcupine 

An Ubiquitous Porcupine is someone who is always annoyingly close. They're someone who you have way too much awkward eye contact, accidental run ins, and conversations but ins with. Typically, the U.P. will have annoying spiky hair that sticks up like a porcupine quills does. The U.P. just always seems to somehow appear wherever you decide to go, no matter how unlikely it is that they should be there.
The Ubiquitous Porcupine was everywhere they went, constantly haunting their lives.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
