Sorry…

Today, at my work in a call centre, a man called up on a very quiet line to report a car accident on his father's behalf because his father was deaf. I asked him to ask his dad if he was OK after the accident. I'd misheard him and he had said "dead", not "deaf". He started crying. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Safe to assume his father is not OK.

That's terrible but mistakes happen.

If he was deaf how would he ask? Sign-Language? Write it down?

does that really matter just check for wounds fenuis

Genius...

17 - well yes he would sign to him. you say that like its so crazy to comrehend. relatives of deaf people tend to learn sign language in order to communicate fast with their loved ones.

This is totally the kind of thing I'd do. Sorry for both of you.

That deafinitely is terrible OP poor guy must have been traumatised.

Don't beat yourself up for this. Honest mistake.

You should have apologized.

She most likely did

dont worry hes in a better place now
