have any1 ever dealt with a VERY rude hearie qq

not really... some does bother me.. some doesn't.

me always being quite person. :|
 
Actually.. I have dealt with Deafies who tried to pass themselves off as "Hearing wanna-bes"!! I would be signing with a Deaf friend in a mall and I would "catch" a person eavesdropping... I'd just stare right at the person. If that person went :ugh: ... that person was BUSTED!!! Where I live... there's a huge Deafie community and we do have to watch what we sign to avoid Deafies miscontruing our conversations into "gossip". I'd catch Deafies eavesdropping and I'd sign.. "Enjoying yourself?!" Their first instinct is always to :ugh: and then make short talk & walk away, pronto!!
 
I've gone thru with hearies trying to act like deaf. I knew this girl who pretended she was deaf and was trying to look for an easy way to get thru high school..she wanted an interpreter and a note taker so she would easily pass. I knew it was BS because everytime I called her name, she'd look up. She sucks at pretending, :lol:

I have pretended that I am deaf when I am with a group of deaf people before. Usually, I do it because I want to hear if hearies have anything bad to say. I usually don't hear anything bad. I am waiting for that one asshole to say something bad. Then they will see me :mad2:

Yea, she did. I guess it was like a reflex thing? She got busted when I talked to my friend only using my voice when we were in the backseat and she was driving.. she turned when she stopped at a red light and said a comment about what we were talking about. I asked how she knew what we were talking about because she couldn't possibly have been able to see me-- Her view was blocked by her front seat, so she couldn't see me. I knew her since first grade and all that time she's been hearing but was learning asl and cued speech. Then I went to another school when she went to the middle school in her district, and saw her again when I attended at the same HS she went to and all of the sudden she's deaf? eh? I asked one of the teachers who works with the deaf students about this and she said her hearing test didnt show any hearing loss at all. :roll:
 
I haven't had that problem yet so far because I act like a hearing. But yeah, that'd annoy me if they did such a thing. I'm used to little children staring at me funny when they see my earmolds or hear the funny accent or whatever in my voice when I speak. I'd stare back at those rude hearing adults and ask "How may I help you?"

Well, that used to happen quite a bit back when I was in like, say...middle school or something. However, one day I got sick of it, and I... well, snapped.

Ever since then, I've pretty much had the respect of the people around here. I respect them, and they respect me, it's all good. Now, there are a small handful who just don't get it. But here, let me give you some advice, well, it's how I take care of this kinda stuff anyway --

Talk to him/her. Reason with them, now, 90% of the time, this never works, but if it does, it'll save you some trouble. However, if it doesn't work, punch him. Hard. Just give him or her (if you're a girl) a good punch in the cheekbone with your good arm, the follow it with an uppercut to the jaw with your weak arm.

If they get back up, beat 'em. Even if you get beat up, you still showed that you were going to stand up for yourself, and that you aren't gonna take it anymore.

Yeah, I agreed... This happened to me before. The guy talked to me before then one day out of blue he disrespected me about my deafness. I didn't like it and I shoved him. Wish I'd punch him in first place instead but at least I pushed him real hard. No body give him respect because he also has against on minorities.
 
I guess they are very jealous of us and other. if they want to learn why dont go to school and damn learn. simple!
 
wow, i can see from this thread that hearing people are most hated by the deaf world. strange, i'm hearing and i've never had a deaf or HH person express such hatred. my brother is deaf and i've never heard him say he hates anyone or anything, well, except my cooking. in order to really hate something it must take alot of energy. hey, i understand certain aspects of life and realize some have or appear to have it harder than others, but hate is a strong word. wait, i do hate the devil. peace for now
 
I don't have anything against hearing people. Whoever (can be deaf and/or hearing) stare at me for more than a minute or two then I'd go to the person and say, "Did your mother ever teach you that it's not polite to stare?" Some of them over-reacted and some apologized heh Anytime my hearing husband sign to me in the store, I've had people stare right at him and me. I'd turn around and stare right at them. I laughed when their eyes went like this :eek2: and how quickly they turned around. I usually wait a minute or two to see if they would peek at me and a lot of the time they did LOL! They went :eek2: again and decided to move along because they felt uncomfortable when I stare right back at them again. It sure gave them a pretty good idea of how I really felt :D

Not that we hate hearing ppl. We are nice to them but We hate when hearing ppl stare at us cuz we use sign language. it makes us feel like what or who are u staring at? feel like we are freaks from circus do u get it?
 
i understand. i'm hearing, but always get stared at when i'm with my deaf friends or when i interpret and i really feel for them. there is no solution because we are all human and imperfect. i often wonder how that hearing person would feel if they were at a deaf function. hey, i have been given the cold shoulder by deaf before and i've been signing for 16 years, so i understand their frustration of being stared at. hang in there and educate these people when possible. nobody, no matter what language they speak or convey likes to be stared at. good luck and god bless
 
Just remmy, hearings usually make mistake - after all, we are only a human begin....
 
how do you know that they are not staring at us cuz they are attracted to us and we are very popular :)

dont think so negative :)

plus it goes both ways, deafies and hearings alike
 
My French friend has a phrase for ppl who stares:
She tells them:

"Do you want my autograph or what?"
