Today I got some waffles and I started to severely stutter when talking to the waffle lady So Im currently in this apartment which is over a waffle and icevream place- so me and my sister get some waffles. My sister didn't want any so I got them by myself. I read over the waffle menu and wanted to get myself waffles with icevream in top. I go up to the lady and because off anxiety I was a bit nervous and I already knew I was going to mess up my words in some way. I don't think I've ever stuttered like this in my entire life. I occasionally stutter--when talking to new people or being in a stressing situation, it's ussually D's and T's that get a bit annoying to say. Not like this. Everyword I said was followed by a few Stutters. All I said was "Good morning may I have the icecream waffle" and I couldn't. In polish It was this (sorry for my spelling I don't live in Poland and my phone doesent have accents and such on it) *Dzien dobry, pobrosze gofry z lodami* The good morning (both words starting with d) was the hardest and I think waffles was too (gofry). I just thought I'd share this here since I wanted to share this somehow to let people know off my embarrassment.
