Dealing with someone you cant stand...

[lifesaver]

Serious question, so no comments from Rudy or bobby like; 'I'd knee him in the nuts and make him my bitch."

How do you all deal with people you cant stand, yet occasionally see? Specifically, I'll be at a party on friday and I just found out that my nemisis (we'll call him Mark) will be there. I have no use for Mark. We were in the same chapter together in college. In fact, he was my little. He did some super shady things in college and after. He got one of my good friends pregnant, and wouldnt go with her to get it taken care of, or even talk to her after for about a year. He knows I know, so he's always copped an attitude around me. Saw him about a year ago at a bar and he wouldnt even look at me, and acted like it was a huge deal for him to shake my hand.

Also, I used to date his sister in college and the breakup was less than amicable. He was always saying shit like I wasnt good enough for her, yada yada yada. This goes way beyond the whole, "ya'll just need to talk it out.' I've tried two or three times, then he sent me some hatefull ass emails last year about how I dont live up to the standards of our org. There's been animosity since about 2000. I dont give a fuck about being friends or being amicable with this dude.

Point being, I dont like this guy and he dosent care for me. I dont have any intention of carrying on a conversation with someone I dont respect. I also cant shake someone's hand I dont respect. There's no way in hell I am not going to go to the party. There's lots of people I havent seen in months that will be there and I'm not gonna let one choad ruin it. I just plan on ignoring him.

I am sure all of us have people in our lives that we'd rather not see. How do you act around them? What do you do when ya'lls paths cross?
