I just had an idea. After the many years of constant complaints of noise which Deaf can't help much even the most conscious Deaf people have this problem; it's time we consider sound proofing important parts of the house such as the Bedroom or kitchen. This way any hearing neighbor or roommate...

Deaf people are constantly walking on egg shells around hearing people. I just don't understand how one person can tell you "If you pay attention you would be quiet" is that ill conceived or what?

This question has plagued the Deaf community for centuries. Why must we all queue or be the last to conversate with anyone? I don't understand it. Anyone care to explain? Moved to Our World, Our Culture Moderator naisho

One of the biggest pet peeves (mostly just me however, I think there are others like me out there) When I go to the bathroom I expect privacy. That's common decency right? Not for my instance.
