WELCOME BACKKKKKKKK!!! I missed you and your vlogs. I was so thrilled after guts-feelings telling me to go in that new name, ohhh here you are...

Wow, that is so scary to experience this! I have experienced similar to yours (not road rage, whew!) but same thing while I was picking foods up in cafe and on way to line to pay for my food. Noticed someone standing near the line but chatting with other person so it is hard to tell if they were on line or just standing and chatting. I helped myself get in line front of those two person (two men). While standing I felt back of my hair moving (like wind breezing) and noticed people looking at me. Of course I was puzzled so I look around and saw that man with red face yelling at me. My heart was about to jump out of my mouth and being so clueless. Good thing a friend of mine (hearing lady) was there and immediately walked to that guy to let him know I was Deaf. He back out and felt so lousy and left the cafe in no time. Whew! Few hours later he found me at my desk and apologized. From now on I make sure to check if people are in the line or not before I "cut" in. Wheeew!

Wow, That's scary of this part.

One incident about road rage. I do similiar as your situation. I was turn left signal flash when I moved. but the vechile was approaches into my lane before the driver arrived.

Good things, my friend was passenger he was freak out after he drove other lane front of us. We were drive too fast on 35mph and we were going to turn left.. without warning signal flashed.

My friend was scared to death I was doing wrong things. but We did not getting hurt at all.. I fool him to turn left instead of Right.

So many deaf people have experienced this! Mine was when a car pulled up in the lane beside mine and the driver started screaming at me, leaning out of his half-open door. After this continued several seconds, I unthinkingly raised my hand and signed "enough!" to him.

This made him madder and I realized he must have thought I meant his argument was "so-so". They look the same. Fortunately the light changed and cars in back began honking and he drove off. Gosh.

Hi there,

I haven't use my vlog since July. Due to busy and 2 jobs. I decide to re join the deafread and others now. So why not I establish a new blog and have a different name. You notice the number '3' after nickname because I have two siblings are deaf (plus me).

Look forward to watching the vloggers.

cheers
Joseph

Bet you felt lonely from not involving in DeafRead for a while when you were working many hours?

I did when I was out of town for the weekend and no access to computer. Every night I would imagine whats going on out there in DeafRead and as soon as I get home, first thing is turn on PC! HA!
