Unless he's a real jerk (which is possible), he probably wasn't laughing at you. It's possible that he was confused or nervous and just laughed as a reaction, or it's possible he just thought you were...

Wow. I don't think I've noticed myself stutter once by myself, unless on purpose to mock myself. Maybe I have stuttered by myself and just haven't picked up on it. It's mind boggling how the brain wo...
