Ever get the feeling that a specific person is completely ignoring you? You don't now why, but they'll conduct a conversation, in which you are participating, as if you weren't present.
You wonder if you've done something to p*ss them off, but they don't let on...
Like the song says, people are strange.
That's all for the moment, thanks.

And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

I won't name names or forums, but there's a bloke on a well-known harmonica forum, an eminent sort of chap, who's just as interested in playing Irish tunes on the harmonica as I am (and we are a minority cult!) but who has studiously ignored me for years, right from the first time I ever posted. He acts as though I'm not there. He never responds to anything I ever bring up and he even reiterates the things I've said in my posts as though they're being mentioned for the first time. I've never said a single word against him. So you're not alone. Put it down to pig ignorance and move on. I wonder if he's jealous because you're more popular than he is.

I am the lord of the dance, said he!

I've been invisible.
One time I particularly remember was on my honeymoon. We stayed (among other places on a trip that involved entirely too much driving,) in an fancy place on the coast of Maine called The Asticou Inn.
I approached the check-in desk and gave them our names. Jeff was beside me. The lady began to address only Jeff:
Thank you Mr. Clement. Could you please take Mr. Clement's bags and show Mr. Clement to his room?
I was bewildered, amused, and annoyed all at the same time.

I think we've all been invisible from time to time.

The Asticou Inn the one on the outskirts of NE Harbor with the curlicue lettering on the sign, right?emmline wrote:I've been invisible.

Similar thing happened to me. We spent our wedding night at a well-known, fancy-schmancy inn and dining establishment. It's the first and only time either of us had stayed at such a place -- we tipped people as we went along, blissfully oblivious that there would be a place for a tip on the bill. I explained this to the guy at the desk who said very politely that it was fine not to put a tip on the final bill. Soon as they heard this, the bellhops, who had just brought our bags down from upstairs and weren't more than five feet away, silently disappeared.

I clicked on the thread link in my emails and got the message that the post or topic I requested does not exist.
