[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have an annual Christmas party, we saw tons of cars outside their house this year and clearly we weren't invited. Then I ran into my neighbor on the sidewalk taking our her recycling and she mentioned how much recycling she had from the party. so I teasingly said I guess we didn't make the list this year! -- we have a joking rapport -- and she said "Oh yes we were just trying to keep it small."

Well it wasn't small and I wonder what we did to get cut from the list? I just feel weird about it and like I did something wrong?[/quote]

Let it go. Maybe you think you have a joking rapport with her and she actually doesn’t enjoy it or finds your comments over the line. Saying “I guess we didn’t make the list this year” isn’t going to make it more likely that you will be invited next year unless it’s out of pity. I would have said, “It sounds like a great party,” and I would have meant it. We have many gatherings without inviting neighbors we like, as do they. [/quote]

Neighbor was rude af to bring it up to someone who was clearly cut from the list this year. She doesn't have to invite OP, but that was a jerk move of the neighbor. [/quote]

+1. Fact of the matter is that there are a lot of rude and self-absorbed people out there. OP is fine to feel hurt, it’s hard not to react, which was OP’s mistake. I have a neighbor like this. She always wants to be invited to everything others are hosting, but never reciprocated or included my family in events, and always had excuses about why she was making a get together exclusive. . I figured it out within a year of her moving in and removed her from invites to get togethers at my house. Better to just cut someone like that out entirely. [/quote]
