During my first time working as a waiter at an corporate event, we had to talk to the groups of people at the tables what their preferred drink was. Unfortunately in between two tables I got a severe block and tried to force it out, the result being a loud repetition of be-e-e-e-e-e-e-(beer). This resulted in almost all staff/guests looking at me, and it was truly awful. As if that was not humiliating enough, one of the staffers asked me about my stutter afterwards, telling me he had one when he was a child - as a result of his brother scaring him. However, then he reassured me that I would 'grow out of it' some day'. However, I am in my twenties, and adult stuttering is anything like stuttering during childhood. That I was perceived in that way made me feel completely worthless.
