On the other hand....I'm very hard of hearing and a couple of times I've been the sinned-against. One time in a fancy steakhouse n Philly, I was with friends who are deaf. She doesn't speak so we were signing all eve. At dessert, I was enjoying a big ol' slice of chocolate cake when some moneybags skinnyass harridan behind me screeched, "Well, no wonder she's as big as a house, look what she's shovelling in her face!"
I whipped around and hissed, "I can hear, you bitch!"
Another time at the supermarket I was signing with one of the cashiers. The woman at the next line over said loudly, "Gee, look at them, jist wavin' they arms around like a couple o' monkeys!" Thanks, babe.
