Have you ever been talking to someone and they completely ignored you?

Hi, beautyqueen26, Of course I ever experienced that. But most of it is because I didn't speak loud enough and attract their attention. But some times those people are just arrogant and ignore me. Sigh...

Yes and that makes me so mad. I agree it is no class. I hate people that act this way. It is really rude to me and immature.

My friend does this to me. The other day we were talkingback and forth from room to room.As I walked into the room she was in, I asked her a question, she ignored what I said and said something about a totally different topic. She does this to me ALL the time! I mean show me enough respect not to ignore me!

Does my husband count? :) Sometimes if he is watching TV, he totally ignores whatever it is that I'm trying to say. He pretends to listen, but really is too musy watching TV to have any idea about what I'm talking about. Sometimes I think I have accidentally ignored people when I'm out and about with my toddler. I don't have the greatest hearing, and when I'm trying to keep an eye on my VERY active toddler, I'm easily distracted from whatever anyone else is saying, too.

That is very rude. I was at a mom's night out event recently at a restaurant. There were 15 of us there so as you can imagine there were several conversations going on at once. I was in the middle of a sentence with one lady when she completely tuned me out and started talking to a group next to us. I felt really hurt at first but then realized that I shouldn't let rude, inconsiderate people hurt my feelings.

I was just thinking to myself as I read this that I had nothing to say to this one but then I remembered something. Last year, I became friendly with a girl at school, our kids are in the same class and have always been good friends so we just ended up talking through that, I thought we were becoming good friends, but towards the end of last year soon realized that in fact I was nothing more than a dalliance that came in handy when all her other friends were busy, but I did not really realize this until New Years Eve. They were hosting a party at our local guild hall and asked me and hubby to go, I was really pleased and looked forward to it, the night came and we went and at first it was great we all stood together laughing and joking and then her other friends turned up and all of a sudden this girl just turned her back on me and my hubby and they all stood together in their little group and never spoke to me all night. Even after New Year had been brought in,it was like half an hour before she even said anything to me. I was really hurt by this, and the best part was that when her friends left, she was back over to me like we were best mates. My hubby was fuming and was really off with her, because he knew that I was hurting about the way she had treated me. It was a really horrible night.

I'm another one that has that problem with my husband, lol. I can tell him something and he'll say "hmm" like he's really listening to me. Then he can hear someone else tell him the same thing and act like its the first time he's heard it. Actually it probably is. I am use to my hubby though. It would make me mad if someone did that in a public situation and I have had people do that to me before.

Some people are rude. The ones that do that though, tend to be ones who somehow think they're better than everyone else. So if they ignore you, it's a pretty good sign you probably wouldn't like them anyways O_O

That was really rude of her. Maybe her parents never taught her how she should act around people. Its never happened to me before though. Sorry it happened to you.

yes i am have been in this situaion on many occassions wiht my mother and she still does it too this day with her it is one way conversation i dont have any say in anything we live in the same house and do not say a word to one another she says my brother his wife and kids are her only family i ask what about me too her i dont exist at all so i know how it feels too be ignored i have been my whole life by my mother!!!!

That is rude and classless! You should have tried to grab her hand to shake it. Touching her would have snapped her out of her rudeness! LOL! As for me, when I was younger, I was out shopping with my Mom and I found something I wanted to purchase but the clerk wouldn't help me. She kept letting each person behind me, step in front of me to pay for their items. After a while, my mom asked me what was taking me so long and I told her that the clerk wouldn't wait on me. My mom intervened telling the clerk that she had no business ignoring me. She told her that I had the money to pay for what I wanted and it was her job to ring me up and take my money, not to decide that I was too young to buy what I wanted. Again, rude and classless! LOL! Not to mention, ageist! LOL!

I have been ignored also but not in front of me. It was on yahoo messenger and my so called special friend was literally online and i kept on pming him and buzzing him once in a while to check if his ok or how is he doin since he move in the states and to no avail i was ignored as in totally ignored not even a hi from him. and i also find it rude because i thought we has something special going on before he flew to the US.. I guess i was wrong..

Maybe she wasn't totally sure if you were talking to her. Sometimes this happens to me, and I don't respond if I'm not sure. She could have been spacing out, or simply didn't hear you. Sometimes when I talk to people, they completely space out and don't respond. I have to be like "Hello, are you there?" At this point I just stop trying to hold their attention, unless it's something that really need to tell them. I space out sometimes, too. Especially if someone is talking to me while I'm on the pc.

i will not get mad because my brother n sister always do that to me. at first, i felt ashamed and angry, but after a little advice from my mother, the anger was cooldown.

That sounds like the story of my life. I feel like everyone does that to me all the time. Of course, it's an exaggeration that is only in my mind, but I get that so much that it seems like it's all the time. I don't know what's with people who do that. I know there are people who say they just don't like people who "talk too much". I've found out, though, that "talk too much" means they either don't like what you say, or something else about you for no reason, so that's the excuse they use.

yes i have talked to my brother mostly, when he is busy playing a game he will completely ignore me!!! sometimes my workmates would ignore me too. hehe

She should have acknowledged you. That's bull. I've had people ignore me all the time. I'm used to it. I've learned to just shut my mouth anymore and only speak up when I know people will listen to me. It's depressing to be overlooked but I guess I'm so used to it I don't care anymore.

Sure, I think it has happened to most people at one time or another. Normally I will try to think if the reason is me. Is there something "wrong" somewhere that resulted in me being ignored? But from what you described, it seems an isolated incident. That lady might just be shy or outright rude. I suggest you move on and just interact with other people. If she couldn't be bothered with you, you couldn't be bothered with her!

Yeah that has happened to me, but it was when me and my friend were in the middle of an argument and she was using the cold shoulder / completely ignore treatment, so at least I knew the reason for it.

OF COURSE. and this happens a lot in GOVERNMENT OFFICES! Especially here in the philippines. Especially in the DFA (Department of foreign affairs)!
