Jerk lurking – or Jerk Lurkin’ describes a behavior, especially in an office or business environment, of a person who does not understand the natural queues of a conversation, personal space or common courtesies of their co-workers, peers or business associates. Jerk lurking includes, but is not limited to: Lingering in a conversation long after it has ended, standing behind someone’s desk watching what they are doing when they don’t know you’re there, standing too near to someone even after seeing it has made them noticeably uncomfortable and not moving, staring at people from your desk while they work.
