Why are hearing co workers so afraid to talk to deaf co worker?

It's sad that this happens but at least my co-workers attempt to talk with me and they do have patience when i fail to understand what they say. I find it a bit comical that some of them attempt to try sign language, but I think it's my fault at the same time because i don't use it when i talk to them. A while back, a friend of mine worked with us, whom was later laid off, is deaf and he required sign so we had a ASL class of sorts for ah....6 weeks...but met once a week. Out of all the guys who attended it, only one is creative enough to continue on using it...and no i'm not saying what =P

Maybe i'm just lucky, i dunno =\
