Seriously, how can people be so damned rude/mean/disrespectful.
I was at work today, checkout monkey at B+Q, when a guy around my own age or a bit older, I'd say around 16-19? Came up to my empty till and started to ask me a question about the location of shelves. The guy had a stutter, quite a bad one, so it took a while for him to say it and he had to start again a few times, (apologising profusely whilst so) when a guy in mid forties came up behind him and stood there for all of around 10 seconds before loudly saying 'for f*cks sake, can't you just spit it out? Get over it' I was so shocked that he'd actually said it that I just stood there. The guy with the stutter apologised again and swiftly walked out of the shop. After doing so I refused to serve the c*nt and got someone else to do it.
I just dont understand how someone can be that rude. It's not so hard just to wait a few more seconds just because someone actually couldn't speak any faster. It just pissed me off, because the guy was just trying to get something, but then was cut across, and probably had his confidence dashed by an inconsiderate b*stard.
UGH

Yea thats shitty.
To be honest, i probably would of thrown the 40 year old guy out, for swaring and creating an uncomfortable enviroment for your customers.
Problem is, the world is like that, happens everywhere, and it won't change, because all the stupid teenage thugs, drunks and chavs we have nowadays will one day turn 40.

A valid point - although it's fairly safe to assume that someone who gets his kicks picking on a shy stutterer is probably not going to be a stone cold bringer of death and suffering when compared with - for example's sake - the likes of me.
These days, you risk people following you home and taking you out a random, so it seems no great hardship to increase the risk slightly, by standing up for your principles.

Again, valid point, although I've often found that the mere sight of a large, confident, shaven-headed frame moving towards them with looming intent tends to extract a swift apology from most cowardly fucktards. Were I the one in the situation, and if he actually had guts, he'd be too busy ripping it out of me for being so ugly to worry about hassling the stutterer. ____________________ >Soultrader Mister James, I bet you are a copper

I (as a another customer) would of said:
'He will hopefully overcome his stammer, you 'sir' will always be a tw*t.'
You made your stand by not serving him, without risking your job that's all you could do.
Good on yer  |

A difficult one.

If that means extinguishing the fuker, so they never get to haunt you, then so be it. I could live with that. But not in jail. (With you holding the key and me looking for the soap....  ) |

Thats disgusting, i would of been inclined to have a quiet word. Its not the poor lads fault if he has a stutter, speaking to someone with a stutter tonight, and he was sound and also his Bike was absolutely gorgeous
Get fuck wits tho, i choose just to ignore them now. But he is probably short of a good smack in the chops, the inconsiderate fucktard. ____________________ JACK, MISS YOU LOADS YOU LEGEND. |

Quality^^
I work in admin/customer services and have a fairly frequent caller who has a stutter and I find it simply takes 1 minute to listen and get the jist of the conversation, then say "aha", "ok," etc between his sentences.. makes him more confident that I know what he's saying, and it eases dramatically. What is 10 seconds in a day?  ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate.
