Stuttering Horror Stories? I'm a moderate stutterer with blocks in hard sounding consonants such as the letter 'P.' I have one experience that stands out in my mind. I was ordering food in front of a massive amount of my peers (while in high school), and the person asked for my name. I opened my mouth and realized that nothing would come out, so I was just standing there for about 6 long seconds until miraculously the person somehow guessed my name and I only had to nod. I'm still not sure how they knew my name. Anyways, any stories?
