I have coworkers that mock me when I stutter. It does give a break that I'm finally able to say the word. Or if I try to say it in one go but have that long pause, they'll do that rolling hand motion with the stare. "Finally." Or "There you go" when it's said. Those are likely worse than the long stare or the encouraging "You got this". But they old and fat so I jab at them for that...so it evens out, no malice only no filters.
