When I moved to the US I could speak good English but couldn't understand what people were saying. I used to ask them to write things down and they got mad sometimes. I'm still here, healthy...

I don't think there was a bus.
It's all a metaphor, right? It's about how life is like being on a bus. Sometimes you get off on time, other times, you get thrown off. You can't stop and ask why. You have to keep on keepin' on.
What are you doing out of your jungle anyways?
Next week? She's started 469 threads in less than two and a half years--that's one every other day.
Holy thread's batman!
Carrying 50 pounds wasn't fun; I came to re-load. That's 50 pounds empty, add 4 liters of water for that dry stretch and that's nearly 60.:scowl:
I need to carrying less weight and not killing myself.
What happened in a shop as well? Why would anyone humiliate you in a shop for hearing loss?
I have bad hearing and have never been given crap about it except by my friends, all good.
Did your friend just bag you out for it? Big deal, get over it. Happens all the time to me, just like you make light hearted jokes about your other 'friends' and their downfalls.

I don't believe there is a wolf.Is it just me or are people getting ruder and ruder?
Because of my hearing, I often find myself asking people to speak slowly, repeat things or both. Sometimes I lip-read people, and I can look like I'm staring rather TOO intently at people when infact I'm trying to work out what they're saying.
More recently it seems that people find these simple things such a big deal, to the point where I've been made to feel like a second-class citizen. I've been kicked off a bus 20 miles from home, publicly humiliated in a shop and even bullied (by a supposed friend) about it.
Why is it that something as simple as speaking a little louder is such a deal?!
Me too.
The ticket inspector was getting very annoyed when I acted like I didn't understood what he was saying.
I was such a punk back then.
I may know what happened here. In the UK people with real disabilities get to travel on public transport for free. Its possible something mistakenly thought that made up disabilities would entitle the person to free travel as well and its possible that the ticket inspector thought differently. Of course, I could be wrong.
Yes in Britain my experience is that - you pay, you stay on the bus!
Don't pay and you get kicked off - no matter who you are and how (in)famous on internet forums you may be!!
Nothing else comes into the equation!!

Eeeeh no Dutch no Dutch!
I visit aunt here?
See I can see how being hearing impaired is a *****, but I'll need detailed accounts of the bus and shop story before I buy any of them.

If there were concrete details then we might be able to offer suggestions - but then that would also mean having to actually do something, not just whine...
And if these problems were actually solved... no more posts...
Never gonna happen!

She also puked into the soundhole of her acoustic guitar. According to Fassa (as posted on another forum).
Make a thread about it, how you actually want to be a detective for a living. Ask for what licences you need and how to draw clients.
Then, next week make a thread that you are considering joining a olympic synchronized swim-team, but that you have a problem with the trainer who is Danish and you have a hard time learning Danish.
