He really deserves that. Who does this kind of s**t?

He's going places!

That's clever and FUNNY!!

Perfect response, kid. Bravo!

A++++++💯

Sam is very smart and I guess Tyler stomped off to his/her room.

I would have made sure to make stomping sounds every time to make them think you broke them :)

Awww everything about this story is so sweet.

I suspect that my gran does the same

I do the same. When I was a teacher and the students were too loud etc I would turn them off. Got to have some perks to being deaf

Hearing breaks are normal and needed for people using hearing aids. Their brains have to work harder to make sense of all the noise than people with a normal hearing range have to. All the background noises are being amplified into their brain at the same level as the speech they are trying to understand.

I used to have a flat mate who did that to me when I was wasted, can't say I blame him.

I worked at a school with a,Deaf Ed group. Part of the tgey were in "regular" classrooms with an interpretation, part in a group taught together. Very smart kids, all of them. One would cover his eyes if he didn't want to hear what they were signing to him. It made me learn sign language just because I thought it was important to call each child by name as they went through breakfast and lunch lines (or were sent to spend time with me on Time Out room).

When adults do it, they're jerks; but when a kid does it, they're f***ing savage. 🙌

soemtimes in class when the teachers or my mom is screaming i wish i could of done that

I know my mom used to do this, but she'd announce it. If we aggravated her she'd say "I'm going off the air now" and turn off her hearing aid.

That would explain a lot of the blank looks on my mom's face...

Well, there is the upside.

My grandmother lost her hearing at 17 due to scarlet fever. She was an excellent lip reader and you would never know she was deaf. When she didn’t want to listen to what a family member had to say she would simply and deliberately turn her head while the other person was talking. It was beyond frustrating to the speaker.

I often wish I could do that, but alas my hearing is OK

What?

Here we are labeling him disabled when he actually has a gift!! That would be so beneficial lol. It would save lives and marriages👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Yes

I had a high school teacher that did this. In his introduction at the beginning of the semester he told us he would do this.

My grandfather used to do this to grandma. He'd say something to get her riled up, look like he was scratching his ears & shoot me a look like "He, he,he...now I bet you'll help me muck the barn as he walked out the door & up the hill to the barn."

My mom who's not deaf and not wearing any hearing aid, can somehow literally turn off her hearing "in her head" whenever she wants. She ignores VERY LOUD doorbell when she's on her tablet watching youtube videos through the tablet little speaker. Yet somehow she also hears her phone though.

Was married to a deaf man, he would just shut his eyes when we were arguing! VERY FRUSTRATING!

My Dad knew a guy who lost a substantial amount of his hearing in both ears after some infection or something. He used to say that he always had the final word in arguments with his wife because he just says what he wants to say and then shuts off his hearing aids. (I think he was just being funny, but maybe not...).

I knew an older ENT doctor who was hard of hearing and wore a hearing aid - not totally deaf. He said he did the same thing.

I wish I could do that. Better yet, I wish I could freeze the world

i'm deaf and assume totaly the mute option in my life :)

I do tat to my narcissists. Just ignore them

Jealous

Not that impressive. I know plenty of folk without any hearing impairments who manage to "mute the haters" whenever it's something they don't want to hear. Usually, we call them jackasses.

You are on mute

LMAO! I wish I had seen that.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Grateful your dad doesn’t think like your mom.

I met a creepy nyc lawyer. He wanted to buy the bra I was wearing for 50 dollars. I said no. He gave me 100 Dollars becaus he admired that i wouldnt sell him my brad. One of the weirdest moments in my life. (I was with a friend during the day at an bowlingalley.)

Omg! I wonder what the teacher said!🤣

I'm covering up a stupid comment. You're welcooome.

That's unpossible!

but... did it work

😂

A kid wants to drink water or go to the toilet. School: "Not on my watch!"

You mean 342 cool ladies ;)
