Blow on.

Better to blow it off than to kill some unsuspecting hearie. I for one would not wanna be attacked by one of you guys. Y'all have some strong hands from years of signing...I'd be as good as dead.

Gawd, what a rude whore.

Now, if I go there again, my order is already written out, but that employee was fired for being belligerent. Seems this customer who helped me reported her to corporate offices.

Im glad to hear the employee was fired.

Thanks for sharing this story with us. I know it is frustrating. I think a lot of times, workers are desperate for a smoke.

How hard it is to learn how to talk when the sounds are all the same in your head. How confusing it is when you can't listen to one person when there is several people around you, but you hear everything all together. Crickets outside chirping, fans, lights humming, shuffling, and everyone's conversation.

I really hope this is not taken the wrong way, but sometimes i wish i was either deaf or hearing. Sometimes i feel like i'm in this in between world where i'm not deaf, because i can hear, but i'm not hearing because i can't understand what i hear. If that makes sense? But this is how my life is, so i will make the best of it!

Sounds like it to me. Daughter went through a lot of this and still does. Biggest difference? My daughter doesn't have the hearing loss, she just has speech recognition issues. All voices sound "fuzzy" to her. She said it's like when talking underwater.

Yea, my daughter's job is not to interpret for me. I told that lady nicely that she needs to speak to me, not to my daughter but she ignored me. Not good customer service.

I have a "hearing" class this year...

They are interesting...they prefer to express themselves orally but need ASL to understand what is being said to them. They can converse orally, but only on an one-on-one basis. It is in group settings, that they need ASL due to not being able to hear perfectly. However, they forget that I am deaf and need ASL to understand them. I can express myself orally to hearing people with no problem but need ASL on the receptive end so these kids are just like me but they forget that I am deaf. Ironic, heh? They have never had a deaf teacher so it will take time before they realize that they need to use ASL when talking to me. Just kinda funny.

I bet I know what that was!

**Dixie** · 09-01-2011, 10:22 PM

Ugh. Some of these stories just make me want to

I don't like going to Subway for the whole communications issue, and to top it off I'm just exactly the right height that the sandwich maker's mouth is cut off by the top of the glass so I'm forever saying 'huh?' 'what?' When it's extremely busy, forget it.

I may have to do what Kristina is doing - have my orders written out before I go.

I never go to Sonic, flagging down a carhop just makes me look

Also, if I'm having a bad day with my speech and I'm trying to order something. I'll get frustrated and get my phone out and type out what I want.

What I don't like is hearies coming up with these 'solutions' for us or they have thought of some great new idea or invention and I'm like - uhm, it's already been invented or it's something we've already been doing for years.

Like the other day my mom said "Wouldn't it be great if there was something out there that had speech recognition and the words that are spoken just show up on your laptop screen?"

I had to give her a look. I half giggling replied "It's already been invented, it's called computer assisted real time captioning. It's otherwise known as CART captioning. A lot of deaf and hard of hearing students use it for lectures at colleges."

Then she has this rejected look and said "Oh."

Silly hearies, don't they know trix are for deafies? LOL

Sunshine · 09-01-2011, 11:16 PM

Oh! I go dinner party today, most people I know. One girl I don't know. She about 30. Seem nice. Talk to me, my back turned, someone tell her I deaf. Then I pour rum drink, turn face strange girl, she clearly say "she can have alcohol?"

What about the guy that balked when I said that I'm deaf and that I have an Arkansas drivers license with no restrictions or special endorsements. It is a regular drivers license like all other civilian drivers.

"What? You can drive?!"

REALLY?!?!

Sunshine · 09-01-2011, 11:41 PM

Yeah! Sheesh blind not deaf!

Sunshine · 09-01-2011, 11:41 PM

Oops other way. Man. Definitely too much rum.

Haha I know exactly what you mean!!! If it's a tall person, everything goes well. The times I go *groan* are whenever I see a female Indian. They are quite short and their mouths PERFECTLY align with that top of the glass from my vision (I am also short). Sometimes I squat to see them through the glass.

This only occurs when there is a line because I have to wait for the "meat/cheese" or "vegetables" or "dressing" person to be ready. When there is no line (which usually means only 1 person does all of the work), I just go "I want this, that, blah blah, etc."

When people did that to my child, I told people why don't you ask him? Tell your friends to do that when she asks them questions about you. Some people are such idiots.
