Whenever you describe an inconvenience, I want to write a clue for an UN-ATM; trust me, you're nothing of the kind, and I greatly appreciate you taking time out of your day to solve and comment.
Appreciate the feedback. I wonder if this one comes down to dictionaries; I use Merriam-Webster on the US side, so a "snub" is "to check or stop with a cutting retort" and a "dis" is an insult, which seem close enough to me, but I do wonder if something even closer like "insulted" might have still fit the surface without leaving any queries. Ah, language is so fickle! Thanks for solving.

Thanks for taking the time to reply; on reflection I think you are correct. I always thought that "diss" implied something being said, whereas "snub" implied an action rather than something being said. They are too close in meaning to quibble over.
For a second I thought I got the grammar wrong by using the present tense and then I remembered what the surface was about. I dunno, maybe it's the band? ;) All the best!

Thanks, Aaron! Definitely easier than the previous ones but still a lot of fun!
Thanks! Yeah, I'm definitely playing around with difficulty at the moment to try and gauge the level of sneakiness I feel comfortable subjecting others to. Happy to hear that it remains fun, even at a less sneaky scale. (Maybe I'll start using the number of "s's" to define difficulty, ranging from "sneaky" to "sssssneaky.")
