A non-socialite or grumpy unhappy person who will intentionally try to discourage a friend, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend or anyone from having a good time. A fun snatcher might also create difficult obstacles making it nearly impossible for the individual to achieve any fun.
Example #1:
Friend: Hey Sandy, all the girls are going out for happy hour after work, you should come.
Sandy: I don't think I can. Bob EXPECTS me home every day right after work and he doesn't like for me to go out. You know how he is girl, he just wants me all to himself.
Friend: No, him not letting you go out with friends is not only controlling he is also FUN SNATCHER?! he never lets you do anything fun with your friends!
(*note: Even if the fun snatcher comes along in a group outing he or she is monitoring the activity making sure NO ONE is having any fun. The fun snatcher will sit there with a miserable boring look on their face or make offensive and tasteless jokes in order to get on peoples nerves and ruin their good time)
Example #2:
A group of guys are sitting around watching football for several hours when the wife or girlfriend comes home and kicks all the homies out before the games are over and beer is gone and yells at her man that THIS will never happen again.
Homies: Dude, your girl was trippin yesterday.
Dude: Yeah, she's a total fun snatcher!
Example #3:
Wife: Hey honey, me and the girls are going out to a movie tonight. Do you mind?
Husband: Oh, sure no problem at all. Just make sure dinner is made, dishes washed, children bathed, kitchen floor mopped, house swept and vacuumed, laundry done and put away and kids put to bed too before you go.
(*he's hoping she will be too tired afterwards to want to go and join the fun with her friends)
