How do you react when you hear someone stutter?

[Random Variable]

In other words, are you tolerant or intolerant?

 

[Spoooon]

I ignore it.

I stutter sometimes when I'm flustered.
But I have met people with severe stuttering problems and I just let them say what they are going to say. They just take a bit longer, no big deal.

I piss my pants with laughter then proceed to tell the person that the very fact that they are speaking to me is offending me deeply and that if I had a knife, I would cut their defective tongue out in a second.



(j/k) I actually can't remember the last time I spoke to someone with a stutter, and I'm a very polite tolerate person so I'd certainly make no mention of it.

Ummm.... What baf said.

Well, it would catch my attention, and I might listen a little more carefully if I needed to in order to understand, but ourwardly I wouldn't really have a reaction.

I have an occasional stutter, it doesn't really hinder communication(it is very light) although when I was younger I stuttered alot more. Because of this I'm tolerant of studders because I can relate to how hard it can be

 

[Amused]

I start stuttering too so they feel at home.

I stutter about once a week or so, but not just one instance its usually all day long in spurts.

People usually tell me to slow down and speak clearly, which is pretty annoying because I am not trying to stutter.

I try to relax and let him\her finish what they are saying. One of my co-worker stutters and at first I was finishing his sentences which is very rude. Now I just listen to what he is saying.

With compassion and patience.

If I can, I try to make them feel more at ease. I sort of try to project a warm, gentle vibe through body language, tone of voice, etc.

Generally speaking, these techniques work well for me. I've worked with special needs children and also with animals as a veterinary assistant, and it is very rewarding to be able to connect with and help those who are suffering.

So that means you talk dirty to them and show them your goodies?

Da-damn I fee-fee-feel th-thu studders com-coming aw-aw-on.

 

[FrustratedUser]

I have a very light stutter problem. More severe as a kid. I can hide my problem and no one even notice my occational stutter.
Let them talk and don't try to help. I know how frustrating it can be to stutter.

LOL, I knew that was going to sound all wrong!

Honestly, I don't think that stuttering is such a big deal. What I do when a person stutters is pretty much what I do with everyone I come across... I'm generally very friendly (ask yakko).

 

[J3anyus]

I make fun of them until I've done enough damage that they run away from me. I'm a bad person.

Reminds me of a joke:
How can you tell if a woman used a vibrator when she was pregnant?
Her kids stutter.
Aahahahahahaha, ok maybe it's not that funny.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I listen to what they have to say patiently

 

[phatcow]

i think about that song
