I've shot alongside people whose entire outfit (one camera, one lens)
would be worth less than one of my lens hoods.

You'll only annoy them if you get in their way! I would get extremely
pissed off if some amateur's (or some other professional come to
that!) actions prevented me from doing my work. At the same time, you
should make sure your actions are not such that you ruin the day for
paying punters!

Other shooters never worry me unless they have the intention of
either showing off, asking tons of questions, or submitting their
material to my clients! I'm happy to answer questions during a break
in the action but not while I'm trying to work.
