Bitch making fun of a speech impediment & Self Checkout

[Evil Queen]

When I'm really tired or pissed the hell off, I will stutter or blank out on words and it pisses me off if someone acts like I must be stupid because of it.

I do that too. The SO has gotten used to it. Lupo learned how to speak EQish.

Everyone else thinks I'm crazy.

lol! The most I need say, is that my waist is 28inches, and my hips where pants go are 41, though I am by no means disproportionate.

As for the lady, I merely relayed the information to a supervisor, and made sure to give them her description and words carefully. They said they'd handle her, and I doubt to see her again.

I hate some godawful harpy comment on it on the phone at my 2nd job the other day "Get me someone who isn't retarded and doesnt stutter."

I think I used to work for the woman who called you . Yes, she yelled at me for stuttering once when I answered the phone at work (not even a real stutter, just a slip of the tongue that could happen to ANYBODY - I get them a lot because of my ADHD, my brain gets going faster than my mouth or vice versa sometimes). God, she was awful. I hope someone sues her for discrimination or harassment some day...

I do that too all the time (also ADD here). I don't even have to be stressed out to do it (and most of the time, I'm not when it happens). I just joke and say "bleh, I can't speak today" and those who know me are fine with it as they'll just shrug and say 'nah, it's cool.'

That sucks, doesn't it? I have to deal with that a bit myself. It's even worse when I get a migraine--I'm screwing up words...and I can't help it

You are. What's that got to do with how you speak?

She keeps forgetting to tell the other voices to shut up

That's stupid of THEM

i'm just reminded of one of the techs I got to work with sometimes (not a coworker). He was very bright and talented, knew his stuff, and was pretty funny. so he stuttered most of the time, so what? he got the words out eventually. hell he was more fun to work with than then my coworkers.

When my father was a Mormon missionary in the Manchester (UK) area two other missionaries had a busload in stitches.

One stuttered and the other stammered.

They started arguing about who did what... and only one was right...

What my dad taught me using that (and other) stories was to kick back, listen, and appreciate the effort anyone else is making to communicate.

Were you there today? I looked for you, but didn't see anybody selling chain mail anything. What sort of products do you sell (jewelry, clothing, other goods)?

[jjllbb]

I laughed SO hard. That was an awesome story.

Don't you know that Hippies became extinct in 1975? I think I spotted the last one in late '76 when i was 11 on the playground near my house. They were walking slowly muttering under their breath.."Shoulda gone to Woodstock, shoulda gone to Woodstock."

Then you haven't spotted my stepmom's older brother (whom I refer to as 'Chong.') He lives in a small camper parked between my dad's house and the in-laws house (his parents) and travels around in an old beat up pickup up and down the NC and SC coast playing blues music in small clubs.

He refuses to wear enclosed shoes . . he's either barefoot or in sandals and he wears his long, graying hair in a ponytail. He's never held a day job, so to speak, and has traveled all over the country seeing various places.

He's also very opinionated is matters of politics/religion/whathaveyou . . . and isn't afraid to share his views with anyone.

He's an original . . . I'll give him that much.
