have a beef at the momnet with the scowly snobby brigade from school. We started a new saturday club in the next town and now two weeks into term they turn up and everytime we arrive /leave its the ususal snobby look and i'm feeling awful.

Got a feeling it will all back-fire if I confront them but I really feel like venting at them. Cows!!!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What have they actually done?

You sound a bit mad tbh.

blossomgirl · 17/05/2009 02:45

that helps, dp would concur!
made it obvious that they don't like us
looking down their noses at us
returing greetings with a snort

its not my imagination and it makes me feel so awful

Ignore them!
You've done something great- set up a club, people are coming, etc. Don't let them make you feel bad when you are a success!
They are not worth your time and worry- concentrate on the good things you've done, and feel proud of yourself.

Are they really snobby? Why do you think they are looking down at you?

Not replying to a hello is really incredibly rude.

What do they do when they see you at school?

Ignore them, or at least ignore their rude behaviour. If they resally are acting snobby and it's not your imagination then the best way to deal with it would be to pretend you don'tnotice it and act overly friendly and cheerful around them. That will annoy them more than you getting all upset and confronting them. A very cheerful gushing "hello, sooooo glad you could make it" with beaming smile should do it. Don't wait for a response, just greet and mve on to something else.

Next time take the piss. Exaggerated hellos, maybe put on a posh accent or something, ask them if it was them you saw at Starburger the other day etc. If they get verbal tell them to fuck off. I love snob bashing

It is discomfiting when a group of people act like this and I sympathise as it happened regularly at the school my ds1 went to.
Remember that no one is better or worse than yourself (from 'We are all Jock Tamson's Bairns school of thought).
These people eat, fart, have problems just like everyone else so try to ignore any supercilious behaviour.
Would they be the same individually?

See I love a snob- there is something so comforting about someone wearing their 'ishoos' like a sign round their neck. It makes me feel superior as they obviously think that I am inferior. I get louder and brasher and feed their feelings about me as I know that it is their problem and not mine. I does make me laugh to see people being so petty.

You need to be ultra friendly and warm and make them as uncomfortable as possible. What fun

Shoot see now thats what i do...it is fun isn't it lol

I'd go with junglist's solution.
