I don't think it's something to get offended by but if you can wait it out then please do. I would probably finish the word/sentence myself silently even if someone did it for me. It just feels weird ...

It's rough! People like that, that I don't usually interact with a lot, I don't usually disclose my stutter with. But when stuff like that happens, I kinda wish I did. I wish there was a way to disclo...
