How do you ...

Reminds me of a Latino and his Caucasion girlfriend in court one day.

The judge asked if he needed a Spanish interpreter....
The girlfriend chimes in and says no that she will do the translating.....
Tha judge asks "Do you understand the charges against you" and waits for the girl to interpret... she turns to the guy and yells "D-O Y-O-U U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D T-H-E C-H-A-R-G..." That is when the judge stopped her and requested a Spanish interpreter for the poor guy. :eek3:


As far as the rude interupter
The person probably thought they had more skill than they actually do.

I would not understand the whole thing if she does that. Especially if it is more than 2 sentences. It will confuse the brain. Sound like boring to me.
 
huh?

Rude!!!

Someone trying mock and gibberish sign to me... Then I will speak with gibberish back.!!! :D
 
I have another post about myself. I want to tell you. I have no problem with my circle hearing friends. They love to learn sign languages to communicate with me. They love me because I am cool and friendly person. They are feeling sorry for me not hear anything. So they wanted to learn sign languages. Other hearing people who are not my friends. They never ask for learn how to sign languages.

Can I be in your circle of hearing friends Pnky678? I won't feel sorry for you not hearing but I'm all about learing how to communicate with my friends.

To respond to the original question in this post.....I think people are just trying to connect ya know. I know little sign and am very slow at it, but have been able to connect with deafies who appreciate my attempts.
 
And I think most deaf people do appreciate an attempt by a hearing person. I know I do. I think I didn't come across very well in my original post .. It wasn't about someone being awkward or trying to make an effort. If someone wants to say "hi" or share what little sign they know, that's more than fine by me. But in the case of my original post, whatever it was that she was doing clearly wasn't sign language, not even remotely close. I sincerely believe she was making an attempt at lame humor or has issues of some sort. And with many of us deaf people being mocked for using sign language, (especially at a younger age) that was what this came across as even if that wasn't immediately obvious. And as an adult (and otherwise!), I don't feel I deserve to be ridiculed for being deaf or using sign. That was the point of my post - asking other deaf people how they feel about being mocked or imitated in a very obvious non-sign way, and what they do about it. It isn't the first time I've been in a situation like that and it actually leaves me embarassed, and I shouldn't have to be...
 
Ah, now I get it. thanks so much for taking the time to clarify. I hear some with my hearing aid and lip read, I actually slapped a dude once for making fun of me, so on some level, I can relate! Peace!
