I See Deaf People!



Yes it's true, so far as the paranormal and other such things I've always been a bit of a sceptic, just lately however on my occasional trips into town I have noticed quite a few accywebbers either walking towards me or perhaps on the opposite side of the road.

No matter how loud I shout to attract their attention, they either walk on by, or suddenly turn their backs and pay attention to what is on display in the charity shop or pound shop windows, at first I used to think this was just a coincidence but now I am absolutely convinced that.....

I See Deaf People!

Doh! there's always someone that has a strange and unbelievable explanation for what's happening! Why, Oh, Why, can you not accept what I believe I saw to be the truth?

No one ever notices me - aren't all women invisible after the age of 60?

Well I'm not deaf, I'm blind - I don't see any people as I'm walking around town.

Thumbs up Re: I See Deaf People!

I am neither deaf, nor have I lost the power of speech, Less, as our conversation last week will confirm.

Maybe I'm the exception that proves the rule...

I may be able to help you out here Less.
For quite a while I was convinced that the deaf population of Accrington had increased quite severely.and not only that but deaf aids had got bigger.
I also observed that these deaf people were constantly talking to themselves.

A friend explained to me that the aids were in fact a type of communication device and that they were talking to other people of a similar disposition.

I thought it strange that deaf people tried to hide the fact that they were deaf and people that weren't deaf wanted to look like they were deaf.and indeed stupid by talking to themselves.

Hope this helps.
