[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, it's juvenile, etc.  But someone needs to say it:  OP should realize this person doesn't like her.  The OP probably rubs people wrong or is otherwise unpleasant.

Every time I have a BBQ or other get together, I'm tempted not to invite a particular person from my team at work (while inviting the other four people).  I just don't like her very much - she's snobby, gossipy, etc.  I don't think my feelings have to do with bullying at all.

Usually I just don't invite people on my team at all, to avoid the awkwardness, even though I consider the others to be my friends.

But I agree you can't invite 19 of 20 people in an office.  [/quote]

First of all, inviting 4/5 people would be rude, although not nearly as obnoxious as inviting 19/20. Your dislike of this woman is not bullying, but continuously inviting everyone but her to an event you host would be bullying. Also, let's consider that the host is likely not BFF with every one of those 19 people. If your team is six (you + woman + other four) and your office is 25, and you invited the whole office to an event, the obnoxious woman's behavior would be lost in the crowd, no? [/quote]
