Hey! your talking to me directly!!!

Hello all… (showing dog) tell him for me, he’s soo cute… yesterday Saturday, i had a good day at garage sales, i walked to all different 20 garage sales, and it was windy and chilly, plus i walked from 7:30am until 10am checking out those garage sales… I did find few things i wanted…
I was just thinking… I thought up about using relay and VRS and interpreters, by law they must tell you every exact word the other person is saying. sometimes when your talking to person using relay or interpreter, when a person says. “tell her or tell him i will call back or tell her how are you?” it can get annoying. of course relay operator must say exact way the person saying which is not a problem. the problem is, when you see person saying “tell him or tell her” that not really talking to you directly. It makes me feel like i am lower person then the person i am speaking to and i also feel like i am not really speaking to the person. i can speak for myself. we just have to teach them that they do not need to say “tell her or tell him” to the relay operators or interpreter cuz they already know to tell the other person what the other person on line is saying. Some hearing people do not realize operators do say every word they are saying. that also is a pet peeve alot of us have too… so what should we do to deal with that issue? either we intuppert the relay operator or interpreter and explain to hearing person, they do not need to say “tell her or tell him” cuz operator already knows to tell the person what they have to say. so tell me your feelings about this issue? oh and yesterday at one of garage sale, a person try to speak to me but i did not hear so i say sorry i did not hear ya, i am deaf, then the person back up and say “oh i soo sorry” i was wearing my hearing aid so i heard it and on the inside of me i felt like ”argh annnooyying to me and i hate hearing it” but i did not want to say anything and stir things up. so i just moved on to other things. thanks for watching my vlog…
