Re: does "just ignore it" work for most people?

IDK, I think in some cases you can very pointedly ignore people being a shit, and it sends the message that they're not even a gnat worth the energy of brushing them off.

I'm thinking of something like this:

Them: blahblahblah

You (to someone else in the room): Do we have any of the ham left for sandwiches tomorrow or should I put it on the grocery list?

Them: blahblahblah

You (to the same person): Also I think we just ran out of shampoo.

Them: blahblahblah DON'T TREAT ME LIKE I'M NOT EVEN HERE!!!

You: And I think this is the night we turn the clocks back, right?

lather, rinse, repeat

(confession: my mom used to do this to me when I was really bent out of shape about something and it drove me absolutely apeshit.)

I guess if it's like a one-time thing it's more likely to work, but if it's a long-running pattern of behavior you have to confront it.

And if it's a preteen sibling being a sarcastic little snot, it's probably a long-running pattern of behavior...

if you're talking about my sis, she's 17. and this behavior isn't actually that common with her (I deal with it much more from my brother) - I guess it was just an off day.

this sounds kinda bratty, but it depends on what the "blahblahblah" is I guess.

it's not the sort of thing I'm used to dealing with though. I'm used to one snarky snipe and then avoidance - they'd rather say something that upsets me and then run off instead of owning up to it.

Thank you for reminding me to turn the clocks back!
