The Communication Expert

In this vlog entry, it's a short skit I made up to show how a deaf person has to deal with nonsense from the hearing people in public places. In this skit, I play the deaf character and the 'eager' employee who happen to be a 'communication expert'.

I might be doing more of these skits in the short future, perhaps as a way of enlightening people what it's like for us. Often, we do feel pretty awkward in these situations. Really.

No captioning is necessary as I minimize the use of spoken and signed words. Body language tells the whole story here.

  4. Ha, funny... :-) Although, most of the time if I make a sign or two, people back away and disappear. Even though I never knew any sign, I get rid of people that way. Just make something up, shake your head, and watch them run. Easier than trying to talk to someone you probably won't understand anyway and who will think you're a complete ditz for not understanding anything they say...
