Woman Pretends To Be Deaf To Reject The Guys

It appears she thought this would be a way to reject his advances, and it worked!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe width="500" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ACX6Hdgi4VU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><br /><br />What should be a simple ‘Sorry, I’m not interested’ often turns into a lengthy attempt of explaining you either have a boyfriend, are engaged or even that you swing the other way.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sometimes it’s because the guy interested in you is incredibly persistent but often it’s just because – in definite British fashion – we’re just too damn polite and scared of hurting someone’s feelings.<br /><br /><br /><br />But this girl, however, is sick and tired of being polite and making excuses. So, she’s opted for for another way to reject their fellow clubber.<br /><br /><br /><br />In a video posted to <a href="http://imgur.com/Tausif007" target="_blank">Imgur by user Tausif007</a>, a girl can be seen turning a guy away with the use of sign language.<br /><br /><br /><br />A brave move, but one that most definitely worked.<br /><br /><br /><br />But it turns out, she didn’t actually sign anything – she simply waved her hands around.<br /><br /><br /><br />One <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/46e1cy/when_ive_got_a_boyfriend_fails_you_have_to/" target="_blank">Reddit</a> user commented: ‘I am a teacher for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_loss" target="_blank">Deaf</a> and she did not sign a single <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Sign_Language" target="_blank">American Sign Language</a>. She would have been embarrassed if I signed back.’<br /><br /><br /><br />So perhaps in future, it’d be best to learn the sign language before somebody does actually begin to sign back.

But have you ever stopped and thought about just how hard that can be?<br /><br /><br /><br />In a video produced by <a href="http://littlemovingpictures.com/" target="_blank">Little Moving Pictures</a>, one woman, Rachel Kolb, perfectly articulates what it feels like to experience a world that you can’t <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing" target="_blank">physically hear</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />The video shows a range of people speaking about every day experiences. Each story is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtitle_%28captioning%29" target="_blank">subtitled</a>. But as their stories continue, the subtitles begin to blur until they completely vanish and the audio fuses out until the video is completely silent – with only lips moving on the screen.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1jLkYyODsc" width="500"></iframe></div><i>The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's mission of inspiring people to care about the planet. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of the <a href="https://youtu.be/n1jLkYyODsc" target="_blank">National Geographic Society</a>.</i><br /><br /><br /><br />But as people talk faster, the lips become pretty much impossible to read – seriously giving us an in-depth look into what those without the ability to hear have to focus on every day.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rachel also highlights the fact that speech is not just movements of the lips and sound. It is accents, it is people’s mumbles, the way some may cover their mouths when they talk – the list is endless. All things that many of us unknowingly take for granted.<br /><br /><br /><br />Rachel describes lip-reading as ‘putting together a puzzle without all the pieces’.<br /><br /><br /><br />She said: ‘There have been times when I’ve questioned why I even try to lip read.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘To wade through this swamp, when I could just use <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_language" target="_blank">sign language</a>.’<br /><br /><br /><br />She compares the use of sign language to being in a different world – a world filled with ‘<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture" target="_blank">rich expression and culture</a>.’<br /><br /><br /><br />But for Rachel, when lip-reading works, she feels something that she thinks sign-language cannot offer her all of the time. ‘When I focus on one legible face, and launch into a conversation, something clicks.<br /><br /><br /><br />‘Right then, I feel something extraordinary.
