Is this rude and insensitive behavior?

I don't think it's a big deal at all. Unless the people talking about how great the party was know the person listening may be pissed for not being invited.
For the most part, I wouldn't care. Nothing like this has happened to me since I was probably in high school anyway.

I hear what you're saying. When I moved back to Canada over 4 years ago this happened to me. I have a group of cousins that I was really close with from the time I was real little to my late teens when I stopped coming to Canada on vacation. Anyway, when I got here I knew that they had parties and it never bothered me when I wasn't invited until I started getting invitations to weddings and baby showers where of course money is involved. I'm good enough to give them gifts, but I don't exist the rest of the time. Needless to say, I threw their wedding and baby shower invitations right in the trash and kept my cash in my wallet. I know that this isn't the same thing, but even though I don't think the situations you described are a big deal, I agree that it is a bit rude. My cousins did that to me as well and I have to admit that it did bother me a little.

You would top my party list any day Montana!

Awww shucks, thanks Willow :-D

Of course you'd be the first to be invited to my party as well ;-)

i hate work parties.cant stand them because you always end up chatting about work...as soon as i leave the yard works over ...end of

I hear that. I've only been to a few work parties and I couldn't wait to get out of there.

The worst is having to attend your spouse's work parties. YUK!

I almost always manage to get out of those.

So there may be like, three groups, like the group of girls, and like the group of boys and the group of the ones who are not sure weather they are boys or girls, and like they hang out with each other, like they like being with each other, like they like each other or something like that, well when they invite their little group like to a party that has nothing to do with work and like they don't even like work anyway, so they go have their party and then they talk about it in front of everyone like they even care, so like who cares anyway, like what they say is important, well I think like it may be rude of them to talk like that anyway and they should just talk about what everyone else likes to talk about at work like the party that the ones they don't like after all don't need to know like it even happened.

I think I like this answer, reminds me of the teenage girls I heard talking at the Mall the other day, I thought like if I hear them say like one more time like I think I will like puke.

Hey Slingofan,

Can I come where you work so that I can become friends of the group that is not sure if the are boys or girls. They may be a lot of fun.

Do you think you can use the word LIKE any more.
