Today, I had a job interview that I was quite nervous about. During the interview, I struggled to get my words out and the interviewer angrily told me to, "Get on with it." I continued to struggle and was later kicked out for wasting their time. I have a stutter. FML

Thank you for those of you who left kind comments, those of you who left comments of the other kind probably don't understand. I didn't fully expect my stutter to get in the way of the interview so much, but combined with my nervousness it gradually got worse throughout. After the way I was treated I realised it wasn't a place I would want to be at so I left without a fight. Also I'd like to thank you for the help methods some of you said, I've been trying to improve it and I'm definitely going to try them, thanks again :) In the future I will inform them beforehand! #8 Aha, good ol' game of Pictionary, never fails to start arguments!

Aww, I know how that feels. Next time, inform them that you have a stutter. It's what I do, and most people are understanding.

That interviewer is a jerk! You were not wasting their time and they should have more patience, especially if they are in HR.

What jerks. I'm sorry that happened. Though maybe next time let them know. Just so you know I think stutters are attractive.

I know exactly how you feel. Having a stutter is hard to live with. I've had mine since I was 8. Don't let it stop you!

F them! And they didn't notice you had an actual stutter problem? If that's not the case then thanks for not wasting my time with repeated question, paperwork and a video just to Not Hire me.

I'm so sorry! I also have a stutter and I know how frustrating it can be. Especially when people try to hurry you up. Sorry OP!

That is terrible! And most definitely not a place you want to be working! I'm sorry this had to happen to you. It breaks my heart. :(
