Well, maybe she dont realize that you are deaf, is all?
I had the same problem when i was working in DOD (Dept
of Defense, Army Ammunition Depot) and of course i was
not talkative cuz i could not follow the conversation of
other people and some strangers would give me funny looks
like im not friendly or something until i said something that
im hearing impaired, thats when they go..oh ok, im sorry
i didnt know that you are H.I...and they are more receptive
to me...so thats probably why that lady trucker is acting
nasty to you, she might think you are not friendly..heh!
So next time, you see her, holler and say HI! and explain
that you are deaf, hearing impaired or HOH..and explain why
you are not the yakity type cuz you are not able to hear
everything..that might soften her attitude toward you, ok??
