Well this is a question for everyone to answer. I know that a couple of people may not want to be identified as snubs but there are sure some persons who are snubs but don’t even know they are while some are just bloody snubs walking up and down and they know.

Last year, I happened to relocate from the Eastern part of my county to the Western part. I have heard a lot of things about the west before going there mostly not good things. People go on and about how the city is stressful and of course they were absolutely right, they yap about how busy it is too and how noisy too.
Well, it’s called the center of excellence and the noise and busyness of the city was just as the critiques has said. The first 3 months was a battle for me as I could literally get a headache with a destabilizing feeling that always follows just stepping out of my house.
Its was a lot to grapple with. It’s been one year and am still trying to settle in fully. Well out of the numerous good and bad sides of this city that was told me, one wasn’t mentioned. I wasn’t told that I was going to be meet a bunch of snubs.
Snub? Literally yes. Well maybe am old fashioned but I wasn’t trained to ignore people. I came from a background where I was taught to greet and respect my elders and even younger ones and when they you are greeted, you should be courteous enough to respond back but all my trainings were questioned in the strange environment I found myself.
70% of the people here are snubs, well, there’s the 30% that makes it worth all the while. But how do you see someone and literally pass by the side and not say a word. I greet these humans, they hear my greeting, they turn and look at me and walk away.
I was bewildered at first and I thought maybe I was dreaming or maybe they didn’t hear me. I checked to see if they are wearing ear phones and no. I greet again or said hi again and this time louder but these individuals just choose to ignore me.
I was dealing with literal snubs. Now I don’t know why someone would behave that way but there are alot of them here. This has repeated over and over again that I now decided to ignore them.
Now see the irony of life, when they saw that I just see them and pass by, they now started greeting. But I was trying to relate with them earlier and they were snubbing me. Well, am not that bad, when they greet or say hi, I respond to them but am definitely not the one to reach out first. I am not a snub.
Well, it seems snubs are not just only in my physical environment but also everywhere and even in my little experience here, I’ve met a couple of them. Well, I choose to ignore them like I did the ones over here and rapour with the cool guys who out of their business schedules make hiving experience cool for the newbies.
It’s still left for you to answer; are you among them snubs or not?
