The tendency to stay on after a movie ends, all the way till the movie credits end, just o make sure the person "doesn't miss anything" like Marvel and DC studio (stupid) after-credit scenes.
I like being a movie usher except for all the damned lurkerism. I just want to clean the damned theater.

That handy man I hired seemed so nice but in reality he was a dark side lurker who stole everything.

Someone, usually a creepy male, who has airdropped themselves into a space that they are not supposed to be in. Can be found inserting themselves in social scenarios they are not a part of and also lacks an understanding of social norms.
Examples of lurkers:
Man over the age of 25 at a college bar.
That frat boi who is always at the bar anytime you go.
Man who wears sunglasses at a club.
