Horrible moment at work I’m usually a mild stutterer but today something so embarrassing happened. I work in healthcare and I was told by my supervisor to page someone over the loudspeakers. I didn’t want to tell him no because I’m not open about my stutter at work and nobody at work really notices due to my habit of substituting words but I couldn’t substitute the persons name and number he wanted them to call on the page. I ended up stuttering throughout the page and all 12 floors of the building heard me. Worst day of work ever I was so embarrassed!
