Hey, you are not alone... But working with the public is tough. I am not an interpreter... But a Deaf person... I used to work at a food store as a cashier. I would simply be doing my job and customers sometimes would just yell at me for no reason... So people in general are just simply...

Hey, I totally understand how you feel... I attended public school with a deaf program offered. When I went to NTID, I had the hardest time making new friends because I was just fine (in my opinion), all way through K-12... I didn't understand why people would shoot me down when I did not do...

Well, duh. That what makes the Deaf community such an unique and beautiful community... I am at currently attending a mainstreamed college, actually. First of all, I don't hate people who get CIs... I only hate the marketing for CIs... People get CIs then they expect to be hearing-like, so...

A brief history about me... I attended a mainstreamed school with Deaf program at the mainstreamed school itself. The Deaf program was great. I am not saying it is impossible for the Deaf students to hang out with hearing students, but much more challenging and tough. I was very active with a...

True Life- I'm Deaf (Yes, I was OVERLY LATE!) I finally saw this episode yesterday (11/9). I thought it blew! I thought it was full of crap. I felt like the show put a wrong imposition on the Deaf culture, IMO. I mean, both "guests" were directed toward the "hearing" world. I want to see...

My CIs... The coil is brown to match my dirty blond hair and beige to match my skin color. But the "cover" for battery is black.

on the Internet needs to be captioned? If not, why not?

I just thought of something else that REALLY bugs me... I used to work at a grocery store. When I am walking around, doing "reshops" (where I put unwanted items back on shelves), customers often will stop me and ask me a question. I would about to tell them that I can't hear, the other...

Yeah, Paul, Etoile is right. Deaf mute is not really liked by the deaf community... I don't use my voice. I am very shy about it and I don't want to. I still dislike it when people call me deaf mute... I mean I still talk with my hands... To me, mute is more general term for somebody who...

I might have missed something here. I am not writing to you to attack you. But there is ONE thing made me VERY curious... What made you interested in participating in AllDeaf? I mean, why did you choose to post on this site? Because there are not that many people out there who do such thing.

Okay... Most of things posted here already bug me. Especially: 1) When people say "nevermind" if i didn't understand them when they to speak to me. I can lipread VERY little... 2) I used to work at a grocery store, if a customer asks me for help, I'd say I'm sorry but I'm deaf (in a...

This might be a wrong section to start this thread but at the same time I am considering attending a law school... So I wanted to see if there are any deaf lawyers out there on AD or if anybody knows of one... Any inputs would be awesome. Thanks guys!!!

YES!!!!!!! Tmobile is just piece of crap now. It used to be alright but now it's just so WRONG. it should be banned in America and everywhere on the earth! :cool:

I have dated several hearing girls but never had a deaf gf... Well I did but it was online so I really didn't count it... Anyways, I'm profoundly deaf and use sign language to communicate so I always have to write back and forth with girls. I think they were ok but it was tiring. I got...

I am a cochlear implant recipient... And I am a member of a mailing list... I was thinking... those with cochlear implants who were late deafened... would you consider them to be "Deaf" because they lose hearing and then get all paranoid and gets implanted and then talk about how much they...

Gotcha. Thanks!

I'm a female. And um, the girl is the president of the gay straight alliance at the college I'm attending... I know I'm overgeneralizing here but she may be gay, maybe not...

Thanks guys for listening to my concern and I appreciate all of your inputs, although some of them were pretty hilarious. Thanks again!

That's VERY true. I'd have to agree with you on that one.
