actually, used to work with a deaf guy here.
*** steve was an ahole tho, but spoke english well.
eventually got fired because he refused to follow supervisor, challenging him, using his disability to get away with stuff, almost getting in a fist fight... twice, and co-owner caught him screwing up on his phone for 10 mins non stop. she just stood there waiting for him to notice.....
you could say, he didn't heard it coming~ :v
(he used a hearing aid)
