I tend to have a really tough time with 'H' sounds, which is a pain in the ass because my name begins with an 'H'. This means that every time I have to introduce myself, it takes me a second or so to start saying my name. When people laugh, mock, or otherwise make fun of me, I usually just try to calmly explain that I have a stutter and need a little bit of patience. If they're not willing to give me that patience, then fuck 'em!
