Dave, maybe your list is nil, but let me say this again: I have never even said "Boo" to the hump, much less hello.
He doesn't like me, for whatever reason...but he doesn't know me from Adam. Nor I him! You know what else? I. Don't. Care.
Jesus Christ, can't people realize that there are shallow-minded individuals out there who, after a 5-second assessment, will dismiss a person? It's not right, but this ain't a perfect world we live in, either.
Yes, it was at a bar/restaurant.
I found out this evening what really went down: turns out one of the people there was pissed that I was there. This one guy, who had seen me there before, asked someone "Who's that guy?" indicating me; the other person said, "Oh, that's Rick, he's a friend of ours, he's a good guy." Well, the hump told the other person, "Well, I don't like him!" Mind you, we don't even know each other. Apparently, the hump did what he could to try and turn the others against me. They came back and apologized. My first instinct was to put the douchebag in his place; but why waste my energy?
Understood, not everyone will like me - and I don't care! But don't try sneaky **** against me, or you'll have hell to pay. We stay away from each other, and everybody's happy.
Middle aged men and women? check
Drinking in a bar? check
Teenage drama about who's there and who's friends with whom? check
Threats of harm? check
If I'm not feeling comfortable where I am, I leave. I've got better things to do than to be someplace where I feel unwanted!
You did the right thing.
No need to address the guy who spoke badly about you.
Seems like you have learned from your anger treatment - you didn't cause a stink and removed yourself from an awkward situation. Good for you! I would have done the same.
Ever been in a cluster of people you knew, only to quietly remove yourself?
I was at a get-together, winding down after an extraordinarily rough week.. Saw some friends, said hello, engaged in some casual conversation. After a time they drifted off, talking with others. Okay, that's fine. But after a bit of time, I started to feel that I wasn't of them, but rather among them. I don't know what got me to feeling that way, but without a word to anyone, I just went out, got in my car, and left.
Incidentally, not one of them texted or called to ask where I was.
Very uncomfortable? Or selfishness on my part?
I don't see how you were being selfish at all. They were being kind of inconsiderate.

There have been people in the past that hated me, and I found out about it; but I didn't know them and had never even spoken to them. I barely knew who they were, so I'm not sure why they hated me so much.

Well, he is still talking about revenge and "hell to pay" isn't he? He's wrapped pretty tight.

Zentropa - he didn't do anything nor does he have anything planned. But all you saw was the "hell to pay" of course and assume the worst

Thank you.
I'm not planning any vengeance. It's done and for the history books. I look at it this way: 50 years from now, we'll all be dead and forgotten, as well as any incidents.

Well obviously you did care. Enough to leave abruptly and then start a thread asking for others to valid your hurt feelings.
