Today, a customer punched me in the face for repeating their order back to them because they thought I was making fun of their speech impediment. I have the same speech impediment. FML
If the person is already dumb enough to think you are making fun of it, he probably would think you would still be making fun of him and try to punch again before you are half-way through your sentence.
Just have him be arrested for assaulting you first, then give your statement, by the time he realizes it, he should feel extremly stupid or just is really stupid and keeps beleiving you are making fun of him.
Ok I looked at my comment and found it confusing through the eyes of another person... Let me rephrase it... The act of which the customer punched op is not considered making fun of op, rather that of hostility. So op has no pretext for hitting him/her back and can only claim misunderstanding, or bringing him/her to court
45- what, and have everyone misunderstand? I would rather have my words represent what I truely mean and let everyone disagree, rather than be mistaken by all.
67- well, sorry to hear that
69- everybody says I'm trying to hard. Too hard at what? Please explain.
101- is there something wrong with my profile? What makes you think I tried hard to accomplish that? And I just love the ironic way Your type insult people with "your an idiot" and "he a moron" I hope you and your friends are ashamed of yourselves now :)
103- really, you think so? Awesome, I never thought I would be described that way... Thanks!
And to everyone: I don't "try too hard" because my definition of it is trying to make one's comments look perfect in the eyes of others. I was merely admitting my first confusing statement and clarifying what I meant, and I didn't give a shit whether you thought my thinking was right. There is a difference between "wanting to" clarify and "needing to" try hard to allegedly gain your highly questionable and redundant approval
111- what is it with everyone and how I speak and what I do? I assure you, people in 1845 people speak even more like this than I do. That being said I humbly deny being "like a sir".
Unless you're saying karma brought op that customer, and fate allowed the scene to happen? Nah still not YDI sorry don't see your logic yet, and looking at my way of thinking, I have no wish to
I'm sorry OP. I have a stutter when under stress, and nearly lost my job because a customer kept saying "um" between each thing he ordered. Afraid of messing up, I stuttered a bit when confirming something in his order and he flipped on me. So I know how you feel. Aside from pressing charges for assault, the best thing you can do is forgive them. I'll probably get thumbed down for this, but really, kill then with kindness.
Kill then with kindness? I agree. Kill the customer and THEN use kindness. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
I have a speech impediment, or at least I did when I was younger. I can still hear it, but whenever I ask anyone they tell me that they can't. I never fully believe them though. It drives me crazy not knowing whether I still have it.
4- That almost comes off as offensive.. It's like you're saying people with a speech impediment shouldn't talk to others, as if they're not as capable.
No offense, but if you have a brain impediment then why are you posting on a public forum? Wouldn't you rather post someplace that doesn't involve embarrassing yourself in front of others? I don't have a brain impediment, but if I did I still wouldn't go around making others feel bad.
