garrulous

/ˈɡar(ʊ)ləs/adjective

Talking too much, especially about unimportant things.

Example sentence

“The garrulous taxi driver chatted the entire way to the airport.”

More cutting than 'talkative': the extra syllables imply the listener's exhaustion. Often paired with age in fiction, fairly or not: a garrulous old neighbor.
