American Airlines employee yells at stutterer for wasting her time

I came across this blog post by Taro Alexander of Our Time as I was browsing around the newly launched forums of the StutterTalk podcast :

So I said, "May I ask you a question?"
She turned to me, stopped walking and said, "Okay."
So I said, "I just printed our boarding passes and I was wondering w-w-w-w-w- (that’s right, I had a block on the word "which").
As I was trying to get the word out, she said, "TALK, TALK, TALK! I DON’T HAVE TIME!"
At the same time that she was interrupting me she was backing away from me. When she was finished with her remark she turned her back to me and walked away.

I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

Participate!

This is an open-mic podcast. I encourage you to record some audio of yourself and email it to me at coolstutter@gmail.com.

I'll play it on my next episode!

This way, we all hear each other stutter and feel less alone with our speech impediment!
