I agree and I'm surprised so many people here don't mind it. It normalizes mocking stuttering and it shouldn't be said. We shouldn't have to ignore it. It makes me feel bad anytime I hear it, esp when...

Even though some stutters do not mind it, I do! And we should be respectful of people because you never know who will mind and will not mind. So the best thing to do is not to say it at all....

It's natural to get mad sometimes. But if you weren't angry, all the better for you. I would call someone out for their poor reaction though. "Hey man. I have a speech impediment. I ain't mad, but do...
