Sometimes my stutter is just lol I struggle when saying my last name. It is a curse that I wish on nobody as it is very common to have to verify your last name in a public setting, with a stranger or god forbid a phone call. The lol is that my last name has the word "dick" in it, specifically at the beginning. I also have a tendency to increase the volume of my voice when struggling on whatever word or sound.. So anyway, if you ever find yourself in a line at the pharmacy and there is a guy screaming "D-D-D-ICK" at the counter, it's just me verifying my name. Relatable?
