I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. Not once did I say he did anything violent, he wanted too, but he went and spoke with the manager after yelling at the guy through the drive thru window. The kid was at least 19-20 years old, old enough to know respect. I fell in love with him again because he stood up for me when someone brought me down because of my speech impediment a life long issue that's literally cost me jobs, relationships and everything else.. It's not something I would of done for myself, I would of just left. He did it for me because he cares how I feel. Why are you even on this sub? Just to troll people? I shared my story here because many people get made fun of for having a stutter. We are one of the biggest group of misunderstood people on the planet. We have no awareness, we're portrayed as morons on TV most of the time. There is no foundations known all over for cure for us. Hell, they don't even know why we stutter. I thought this was a small victory for us as a whole and that my husband doesn't like people bullying others. I bet more than just me wished more people spoke up about it.
