I hate people..... Yesterday was pretty rough.... I ended up working overtime with about 7 other guys and during one of our breaks I was getting everybody's dinner order together so I can go ahead and drive over and pick it up. One of the guys said Jeff.... You better call soon because it's going to take you like 20 minutes to call all that in with you stutter - of course EVERYONE started to laugh, which really made the situation worse for me. Then the jokes that other guys tossed in after that - going as far as imitating my stutter and getting even more laughs. This went on for a few hours and I really wanted to punch someone by the end of the shift. I love my job and for the most part the guys are cool but being 23 shoulda it still be biting me this much? It had my eyes watering pretty much the rest of the shift because I was thinking of everything.
