TOP 10 COMEBACKS TO RUDE COMMENTS ABOUT STUTTERING

1. "I know you stutter, but I like you anyway." → "Thanks, and I really don’t think you’re as terrible as everyone says."
2. “You would think that evolution would have gotten rid of stuttering.” → ”Well you’re here, so evolution ain’t perfect.”
3. “Breathe.” → ”I’m trying not to. You smell.”
4. "Did you forget your name" → "No, I was just deciding whether or not I wanted to talk to you. I think I have my answer now.”
5. "Have you considered speech therapy to fix your stuttering?" → "Have you considered going to school to fix your intelligence?”
6. "I think I'm stuttering more now that I've been hanging out with you." → "I know what you mean. I’ve noticed I start saying dumb stuff when I’m around you.”
7. “Are you ok? You seem nervous.” → “Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to talk to you.”
8. *Laughing* → ”I’d give you a nasty look but I see you’ve already got one.”
9. “Slow down.” → ”Hey, remember when I asked for your advice? Me neither.”
10. “If you stutter, you’ll never make it as a ‘insert career aspiration here’” → ”Well I hope you go very far in life… and stay there.”
