Loosi, i'm not sure why you're so stuck on the "hearing" issue.

Posted by Stephen (aka SCeire) Jun 11 '09, 14:29

If, after she finally heard me, she hadn't been so rude, or had said something like "sorry, I didn't hear you" I wouldn't have made the crack at her. I would have smiled and been on my way. I wasn't rude to her when I cleared my throat, or said excuse me, or when I said excuse me ma'am. I wasn't yelling or shouting, but was definitely talking in a voice loud enough for someone standing two feet in front of me to hear. She chose to be oblivious to those around her, take up the entire aisle, and then be rude when someone wanted to get by her. End of story.

I'm sure it's not personal to me or anything. ;P - loosilu Jun 11, 14:31 22
- If you were deaf and not aware of your surroundings, you deserve every comment possible - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:32 21
  - I thought his issue was that she was bitchy and didn't apologize after being made aware of the problem. -- nm - mara Jun 11, 14:35 4
    - oh, let's be honest. he'd been thinking up the comment as he was standing there. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:37
    - Yeah, offense at that point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:36 2
      - So how you can blame loosi for objecting when you said "if you are deaf and unaware of your surroundings"? -- nm - mara Jun 11, 14:37 1
        
        Other than not having any factual support? - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:39
  - wow. it's really sad how many jerks there are in the world. -- nm - kare Jun 11, 14:32 15
    - Keep in mind that all of this opining is being filtered through a narrow aisle perspective. There are many situations where people who are saying - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:35 5
      - wtf is a shreddie? -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:39 4

        It's like you Canadians have a National Bureau of Adorable Naming. -- nm - TFox Jun 11, 14:40 1 1
        
        haha! (faved) -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:42
    - honestly, kare, if you had a disability, wouldn't you learn to adjust? - Guy Jun 11, 14:35 4
      - are you serious? what is "adjusting"? I should be totally understanding if someone is an ass to me because I can't hear? -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:36 3
        
        huh? adjusting is learning to function in society to the best of your ability. wtf are you talking about? -- nm - Guy Jun 11, 14:38
        
        If you can't hear, you do learn to adapt. More looks around; yadda yadda. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:36 1
        
        that's exactly what I do, but I get the feeling some people are on a much shorter fuse than that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:38
    - we all share the world, if me pointing out that you're taking up more than your share is a jerk, - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:33 3
      - you can do that without being a jerk yourself. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:34 2
        
        Gladly. However, you give me a dirty look, i'm returning fire. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:35
        
        um, it's Will... - znufrii Jun 11, 14:35
(ask her about her hearing aid batteries) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 11, 14:30 3
- I was so nice to you yesterday. don't be an ass. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:31 2
  - I'm not mocking! I'm reminding Stephen why it's an 'issue' for you! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, on your side Jun 11, 14:33 1
    - ah, ok. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 14:33
