That Moment Have any of you guys ever had someone bring up your stutter in a conversation. It has happened quite a few times to me and it always starts with "No offense" or "I have a question." This is gut wrenching and I don't know why people do that, or why they find it amusing. It isn't funny until it you have it. Excuse my rant. But I have morals when it comes to conversations, I talked to a kid who had a lisp one time. I never brought that up because I used to have one too and I would just be made a complete fool of that. TL;DR: Don't say something unless it is positive when it comes to speech problems. "No offense" my ass. Again, excuse my language.
