Having personally seen a woman spend an entire 40 min train trip ripping into her partner in ASL, I question this statement
I’m picturing the partner occasionally looking away and her just doing the “ATTENTION” wave in their face every time
“DON’T YOU LOOK AWAY FROM ME!”
We had a dog that was born deaf, so we taught him with hand signals instead of voice commands. Was completely fine, except when he was doing something he knew he shouldn’t, he’d turn away from you so you couldn’t scold him. But he’d also get curious about whether you caught him doing it, so he’d sneak a look over his shoulder, and then you could scold him and he’d stop.
I wouldn’t be able to scold for laughing at the sneaky dumbness!
We laughed our asses off (which he couldn’t hear), but also tried to make the stern, scolding face when he was looking. He was such a good boy.
LOL I had a coworker who used to pretend his hearing aids died when he was done with your shit. everybody hated how lazy he was at overnight cleaning and whatnot but he was god-tier as a 1:1 sitter for maladaptively attention-seeking patients. They’d be saying all kinda outta pocket shit to him and he was just so used to faking deaf at that point that they had nothing on him. And I loved having him on our unit when we had sexually inappropriate guys. they’d fake suicidality to try and get one of the 18y/o nursing assistants to masturbate at but NOPE. You, creepiest of creepy sirs, get deaf gassy off-season mall Santa.
get deaf gassy off-season mall Santa
Hahahahahaha
But we start more. We’re an opinionated culture
What?
