Embarrassing moment (stutter w/dyslexia - GREAT combo! NOT!) So... been going to this local brewery for past couple years. Am a regular of sorts. Was there on fri eve... was very busy plus i was meeting my brother there and i was quite scatter brained when I ordered a flight. Dude (who i have interacted with regularly over past few yrs) asked me what i wanted and as I scanned the board I simply could not figure out how to say the name of a new "amber" (my dyslexia was working overtime!), and then i started to stutter a little (had horrible stutter when an adolescent, am now 58m and it is not as bad now - but still ever present)... Before i got any words out he said "...are u ok?..." :( Either he thought i was already drunk... Having a stroke or....whatever... I was qute takenback - embarrassed as hell... I said, yup... and decided NOT to get the new one, which i could figure out to say... and order my flight by the "numbers" on the board, rather then the names. :( When i ordered my next beer, i pulled him aside and said... "...about before, I have dyslexia and was having a tough time pronouncing one of the new beers..." He said "...oh, i just have never seen you act like that before..." :( The beer.... the new beer i couldn't figure out how to say... "The Piano has been Drinking" I couldn't figure out how to say... FREAKING PIANO! :(
