That reminds me of my colleagues. I thought everyone I work with or speak to regularly would know I have a stutter. Apparently they do not lol made me feel better but I still feel paranoid about it One of the calls I take is part of a relay service for the deaf or speech impaired and one of my colleagues was joking around saying, "what if one of them (the called party) stutters, will wr have to type the stutter out or just the word", and was just laughing at it. Then a colleague I'm more friendly with said, "do they not know you have a stutter?" And their faces dropped It was funny and they felt bad but I didn't care, it wasn't offensive imo
