Ok, this reminds me of I contacted a government agency recently and was stuck in the middle of robot menu hell. It asked me to say what I wanted and after I struggled, it said, "you didn't say anythin...

Honestly, I'm more pissed at the fact they have an online system that *should* be able to handle it more than I am at the phone call itself. That and the fact that they make it hard to discover the op...

Amtrak Requiring Telephone to Modify Reservation

Amtrak Requiring Telephone to Modify Reservation **TL;DR** Can't modify my train reservation online. Have to make a stupid phone call, even though the original reservation was made online. --- Just ...

Yes, I know now that stuttering is not a disease, but a wrong speech formation: wrong habit, which has certain reasons in the past and has been supported by my stresses, worries, fears in the present....

I’m very similar in that way when I stutter. I only stutter in public speaking now. You can replicate this scenario by introducing some strangers in the room and then force your client to speak on the...

Thanks. I've done this before too. It wasn't really a big deal then and I suppose I could do it now if I wanted to, but I really don't want to. Must be something to it....

Oof, but I only talked to her a few times last year. And I stared at her once and I think she felt creeped out lmao. She doesn't know I stutter. Thanks for the advice though, mate....

ah okay. I'm trying to remember what I would have done at your age. I was a weird-ass with social anxiety out the wazoo and a stutter on top of that, but I had mild success with girls. Ended up gettin...

1. Be attractive 2. don't be unattractive no but really just remember to breathe and don't psych yourself out. every girl I've dated or gone out on dates with (which is like 6 or 7 so not much but st...

You mean "avoid speaking to them even more" lol. I don't think any of my actual friends have ever mocked me about my stutter....

I'm not nervous when I stutter. But I appear nervous and people sometimes tell me, "it's ok take your time". I tell them I'm not nervous, but then I often have an easier time. It's annoying....

I sold bicycles for a couple summers at a local bike shop, and ended up being the top salesperson there! Even outselling my boss (who stole my commission, but that's another story). At first I really ...

Worked at a major hotel chain with a TON of families, serving ice cream, coffee, cafe stuff. Had that job seasonally for 3 years. Loved it. Not everyday was easy ... had some real jerks out there. My ...

I have to talk a lot of customers in person and on the phone and I use it as an opportunity to try some anti-stuttering techniques. Of course talking all the time can get frustrating especially when ...

the internet. As a fellow semi stutterer (I instantly knew what you meant lol) The slow pauses are actually taught in speech therapy and I don't use them for the exact reason you stated, yes they wo...

Same thing. I'm from Italy [M 23], and i too have a mild stutter, that i always hide with quick word swaps, pauses and accurately placed "uhms". When you stutter for 16 years you start to come up w...

My first job in Highschool was working at a fast food restaurant (White Castle) in Chicago. Oh they loved to put me on Drive Thru. I hated them for it, but i did the job and mostly well. It was rough ...

Depends on the severity and your own personality. As someone who is fairly confident but reserved getting a job on tills essentially cured my stutter ironically. My stutter was never severe to the poi...

I have worked customer service for most of my working life and its been tricky. I have had a couple of people who were super rude. It had helped me to shape my character, and I did meet a lot of peop...

I worked as a cashier for months until the shops closed. Well its best you inform your boss about it and maybe just tell him how best to deal with it and what it really is. Something in the brain that...
