Haha yesss. The excitement of shaming the shit out of someone with the simple words "hehe yeah.. I stutter" paired with a condescending smile. Its amazing how fast you can observe true fear/shame/guil...

Was going to say this. Disabled people are no less able to vote. Bring a few sticky notes and write down your name when prompted. In other situations the worse that can happen is you order the wrong t...

I sometimes do some kind of hand gesture to indicate I'm trying to get something out. It gives you the option to communicate even though you're not doing it by speech....

I know the feeling man. I have often had to motion for a pen and paper so I can write stuff down instead. And as the guy says, if you have your polling card you can hand it over instead. ...

Thanks for the thoughtfulness I tried to do that in the last one but they just pushed it aside and said "We don't need it, just give us your name" I swear my brain just fucks with me for the sake o...

I **hate** it when they "jokingly" ask if you forgot your name. Makes me all sorts of mad. Of course I didn't forget, you nobber. I always make the point of saying that I didn't forget but th...

You are more than your stutter. You are important. You are loved. You are not alone. I feel with you. Many of us block on our name. Try talking with your boss or HR. Fuck it and be open and honest ab...

Be a cheeky cunt and tell him to slow down or take a deep breath. Make sure to report back :^)...

Go back to the store and leave a note describing the situation to her and how she made you feel....

I hate people like this. I've grown confident enough to call people out on it. I was at a bar recently and was going to order a drink. When the bartender came over to me I blocked and it took some tim...

It could be an anonymous tip about the incident - it doesn't even need to mention any names. Maybe it could even be at a regional level or something like that. I'm sure there are some PR and HR people...

(I don't mean you "shouldn't" go to management...just saying it could feel overwhelming. IF you did, you wouldn't have to name the person, just say you've had this problem in general at this Starbuck...

Yeah....you probably do not want to go to management over this, but, if I were that person's manager, she would not be repeating that behavior. ...

They need to be told that you have a physical condition; it's called "stammering." If you say this to them in a very direct way *with the silent implication that it is beneath them to look down on yo...

I get that sometimes and the only thing i can think of as advice is to remind them over and over again until they get it. Don't be rude though.. you're not the person in the wrong. If you get angry, y...

I also hate it when someone tells me to slow down. But I know the reason they do it is because they want to help, so I don't hold a grudge that much over it. Yes, sometimes telling me to slow down put...

Wow, that sucks. Every time someone tells me to slow down and breathe I instantly hate them. If they mention my stutter being a disability I instantly hate them. Unless they have a stutter or are clos...

Yes, well, this is somewhat an East/West divide, the huge cultural difference between conformity and individualism. Never that black and white, of course. And there are good and bad things about eac...

Instead of walking through the door. You can stand still by the exit and say thank you(if the block does not last too long), or try shaking their hand. This can seem a little strange, but it is better...

Well they're not as bad as I probably made them out to be, most people here are very outgoing and being polite probably comes naturally to them. I think it's actually less about being polite and more ...
