To think this is rude and to walk off every time they do this from now on?

I often see a friend, A, on the school run and walk with her and chat.

If another friend, B, comes along, she always greets A, and ignores the fact that I'm there and her and A instantly start having a conversation and ignore me. If I say hello to B she ignores me.

This morning I'd had enough and just walked off.

AIBU to think it's rude and to just walk off each time they do this from now on? To add, I initially introduced A and B to each other and have known B much longer than I've known A.

I wouldn’t give them a second thought. Head phones in and a brief smile if I could be bothered. Hate rude people - forget and move on

I have had a similar situation-ish...

Uni Friends a and b visit my house. Closer friends with a, b disappeared off for a while but got back in touch once she had children. We all have children now. I made a huge lunch for everyone including little ones. Friend b starts arranging a double date night with a. I'm sat there very awkward and mortified!

Get in her face - in a take the piss way

"Good morning b"
"Hello yes I'm here - an actual person. Helllooooooo"

Fuck A and B. Find a C and ignore them together.

You said they both started calling you but you walked off because they do not make you the centre of attention...
I think you need to review yourself

Walking off sounds exactly what B wants you to do. I'd not give her the pleasure. Best bet is to avoid both from now on and speak to nice people instead.

If you were walking with someone and talking and a friend of yours came up and blanked you and the friend you were talking to suddenly stops. Then they both start talking together ignoring you. Wouldn't you be upset that they completely ignore you for the rest if the walk?
Nobody needs to take that crap and be only acknowledge if no one else is around.

If I were you and I said Hello to B and she ignored me I'd probably keep saying "Hello B" until she answered

This is what I’d do. If she kept on ignoring me I’d say a cheery and loud ‘I’ll be off then’ and then walk away.

Oh yes, I had that in my own home too. They then said they would invite me to whatever it was but never did.

I read on here that some people are easily slighted, but some people are just awful to others.

How appallingly rude
