embarrassing dinner I went out to dinner with 8 of my friends, with my girlfriend and two roommates. I was talking across the table and I stuttered pretty bad and my roommate (who knows I stutter) just completely mocks me in front of everyone. I was silent for the rest of the dinner. I was so embarrassed. She was drunk and I was sober but it still sucked. Worst part is, I was in a real good place with my stuttering, but this set me back a ways.
