    Santa, elf fired after refusing to pose with little girl and her service dog

    "This job will require a hearing person. Deaf can't."

    I was working with someone who has cerebral palsy and he cannot move his legs or hands. I warned him about scam jobs that go online and say they are one thing and they end up being another (Lord knows back in the day I went to plenty of scam and scam door to door sales interviews) and he...

    Cashiers/Job Hunting

    I'm sorry I have Aspergers which is part of the Autism Spectrum it might seem I'm trolling or being rude but I'm not. I was about to edit in a quote from the TC to recommend data entry. I find people who are not able to work with people are better off taking employment that does not require...

    Deaf community pushing for state to license sign language interpreters

    At first I thought this is not something I'd support I sort of do? I love the relay calls for the relay operators who call me and are doing video signing. It's so much better than the back and forth texting session the relay operator and the deaf or mute person has and than relaying that to me...

One guy fights with his mother who tries to order him a handicap van (Hes mentally disabled) and he yells, "No, mom, stop!" Since his funding allows him to get cabs he...
