I cannot with this person.

Q. Snubbed: I was snubbed at a family gathering by the significant other of a family member. There was no mistaking the snub. I don’t know the reason for it, but I have theories. I don’t know this person very well, but there is a class aspect as that branch of the family is wealthier than mine. It may also have been political. Or a million other different reasons. I have no idea why I was snubbed.

Prudie, I’m of the Larry David school of thought on this. We can’t just go around normalizing snubbing if we are to live in a society. What is the best way to handle a snub that calls attention to the snub, but makes the snubber look bad and not the snubee?

Again, just because yup.

FFS.  Maybe you were snubbed because you're an asshole.

Snubbed how?  Like, this person didn't say hello to you?  How about you say hello to people first if they don't acknowledge you have entered a room?  Seems like an easy fix.  Sometimes not being an a**hole yourself fixes a lot of life's problems.

OMG I HATE THEM EVEN MORE!

Q. Update—Snubbed: I am the letter writer and you are correct. I snubbed her back the next time I saw her and I didn’t feel better about it! Two wrongs definitely don’t make a right.

Maybe all of this started when LW wasn't invited to a wedding in a park...

I love this reply. 

I also agree with everyone else.

I find being the paragon of politeness in those situations is the best revenge.

Because if someone is trying to get a rise out of me or make me feel bad, I want to drive them nuts with my friendliness and walking on sunshine.

JFC. This person. Also, the word "snub" ceased to have any sort of meaning after the 18th time LW used it.
