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.
