Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

E.S just deleted all of the profiles pictures and changed privacy setting to friends only instead of friends of friends.
 
E.S. is deafskeptic's alter ego on FB. That's all I'm sayin'!
 
Had a police officer actually ask me today why I was driving and what gave me the right to drive. I was a witness to an accident involving an SUV not paying attention and running up onto a sidewalk and hitting a mother and child in stroller. The driver of the SUV was texting while driving. Since I was side by side with her on her left, I could see what she was doing. Mother and child were fine and did not get transported anywhere. SUV driver was ticketed and fined. I was chewed out for daring to drive a vehicle. I used my cell, texted a neighbor (Sheriff's Officer) who came right out and educated this officer about the rights of a d/Deaf driver.

Wow, the ignorance is unbelievable! Stay strong Kristina!
 
Unbelievable that the officer chewed you out for driving, just because you are deaf. Did you show him your DL? I can't believe stupidity of some people.

(Not that I could possibly know), but it sounds like the person who caused the crash was dealt with much more kindly then the witness!

Well - she did get an automatic $1000 fine for texting while driving on top of the other charges she will get for the accident. They really chewed her out as well and she started fighting. She calmed down when they threatened to arrest her. Seems this officer was relatively new and was not sure of the laws totally.

Are you sure he's not just teasing you? Some teenagers like to push buttons.
 
Boys have so little understanding. Dallas ask me once age about 14 if girls "get off" from use tampon. He dead serious.

Well, good thing he has you for his mom then. One way or another, he'll learn. I just hope it doesn't involve you getting permanent rolled over eyes. :)
