I describe my pet peeves…
Transcript: hello all… today i was at the library volunteering.. today topic is pet peeves deaf verison… I noticed when i am walking on the street, someone comes up, askes me a question but i did not understand what he or she said so i asked her or him to please repeat the question, they say “oh sorry” then just take off on me cuz i was deaf but i was also using my hearing aid too. also when i say ”i can’t hear” then some people say, “oh i soo sorry”. Some people just don’t understand us deafies, like how to converse with deaf people like using paper and pen or just simply repeating what they just said. other pet peeve, on tv, we use closed cartion to understand what people are saying. on tv shows, if the tv guide said that show was suppose to have or normally have closed caption, i turn on the show and theres no closed caption at all or the captioning are all messed up with wording, so i have to miss the whole program just because of that. also when u buy/rent dvd movies, it said it would have closed caption on it but when i go to watch it, there are none. sometimes when u ask someone to repeat something by voice, they either speak loudly, slowly, more quiet or babyish. we are asking them to simply repeat words not change tone of voice. other thing is, when u tell people your deaf, then they assume things like, “oh you can’t drive?” or other foolish things. I am like, hey deaf people can do everything, only thing we can’t do is hear. also i don’t like it when deaf people are called “hearing impaired”, we should just be called “deaf” or hard of hearing… alright that all i can think of for pet peeves and i would like your opinions…
