I just hadda laugh at some stories by Levonian, Katzie, Kuifje and Angel!

I have been always cordial, if not staring right back with a smile.. just for a few seconds and then going back to what I were doing previously before the rudeness. A few times I have waved, and usually don't get a reply. *shrug* People can be curious, and get frightened if anything goes beyond that. Kinda reminds me if I ever stare at something I think is an oddity, I gotta do it with a smile and be prepared to take it beyond that.

Nope, it was true story happened in Canada. My deaf friend is from Canada and told me what happened. It was his friends who did these things!

That's fine as long they dont tell me 'to wash my hands' as sometimes they think I'm talking dirty.

Yeah. I was one of those deafies. The waitress told me what the trucker said, so I walked over and strangled him.
With my bare hands.
His tongue stuck out like a banana.
He crapped his pants.
It was a mess.
"Course, I am a bit more laid-back now.

IDK, I have a hard time believing that especially the crapping in his pants. Hmmm...?

Well , personally if I'm talking a little louder than normal and I notice some strangers or unknown people are staring at me. I tried to remember to stare right back at them but with a very pretty smile. It usually gets them to look the other way. In meantime, if you have enough guts, just go up to them, and say. Is there something I can do for you OR is there something wrong?
That's another thing that will shut them up.
I know it's very agitating. I"m in my early 40's and I'm still seeing Aliens TOO everywhere. LOL.

I'm hearing but sign because my son is deaf. My hearing friends know I sign, but then all of a sudden we'll be in a situation where I'm using sign, communicating with deaf people or with someone who is hearing but across the room or something. And all of a sudden it hits my friends that I can do that and they are excited about it. Not all staring is meant in a negative way. It's just that signing is not something people see regularly, unless they happen to be around a community where there are a lot of signing people.
