Today, while on a blind date at Hooters, I ordered my food and the waitress asked me if I was stoned, because she couldn't understand me. I have a speech impediment. FML

Today, I got slapped by a date because she thought I was making fun of her speech impediment. I wasn't making fun, I just have the same speech impediment. FML

Today, I went out to dinner. The waiter was pretty cute. He greets us, "Hi my name is... (long pause) Jordan." Thinking he was flirting, I quickly smart back, "Are you confused?" He says, "No actually, I have a stutter." FML

Today, I went on a blind date. Everything was going great until I laughed so hard at one of his jokes that I snorted, choked on my drink, and accidentally slapped his face while trying to cover my mouth. We didn't order dessert. FML

Today, I was on a blind date with a girl my friend set me up with. We went to a fancy restaurant and she ordered the shrimp. I told her, "I'm allergic to shrimp, so you shouldn't order it in case I want to kiss you later." She looked at the waiter and said, "I'll have the shrimp." FML

Today, a customer punched me in the face for repeating their order back to them because they thought I was making fun of their speech impediment. I have the same speech impediment. FML

Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML

Today, my friend fixed me up with a guy from her workplace. I'm painfully shy, so I really appreciated it and was looking forward to meeting him, since she described him as very sweet. Once the date got started, he continuously made fun of my speech impediment, until I finally left in tears. FML

Today, while at a store, my stuttering problem became so bad the poor store clerk had to supply my own words for me. FML

Today, I went on a blind date and mistook someone else at the restaurant for my date. We had a great conversation… until the real blind date arrived. The look on both their faces was priceless. FML

No, he shouldn't have. That was extremely rude of the waitress; even if she didn't know.

I have speech impediment as well. I sound like maybe a little kid. People have a very hard time understanding and I guess it can hurt your feelings as well. But don't stress it. If you had a great time with your date, then you'll be fine. Just remember the waitresses at hooters are like college girls "paying" for community college so you're going to get a lot of brain deads unable to comprehend common problems.

I had an awful speech impediment, and ended up overcoming by oddly adopting a British accent. If I drop the accent I stutter and lisp unintelligibly, so I got teased for either being hard to understand or having a fake accent. I didn't say two words my entire 8th grade year.
