Um
Ok, this was weird.
A elderly deaf man came in to work today and started to write on a piece of paper.. he wrote: "If I ready to type IUPUI. What do you say? Yet." which.. I had no clue what he meant, I could only guess that he wanted to use a computer or typewriter. So he then wrote: "Do you mean? Now, do you didn't know to me?" I wrote: "Do you mean computer or typewriter?" and in response he just wrote: "Study School" and then underlined it. Then he kind of gave me a look and just walked out before I could write anything back. I guess I should have written that I didn't understand in case that wasn't clear. I hope he wasn't upset.. I feel kinda bad now.

j3k – Hahah. I don't think he was deaf. He was probably just messing with your head because he hates you.
– Oh I just remembered, the deaf guy also wrote: "don't listen to that jeeves guy, he's full of crap."
middleageguy – That's pretty strange and i have no idea of what he meant. STrange.
gwyneth – well, deaf ppl that use asl have a different grammar structure and don't really learn english the way we use it, oftentimes. so...i don't know if that sheds any light on your predicament.

I've kinda been in that situation before, when I worked at a bank. Sometimes we would have some people that were deaf, or that had special needs come in, and need help and I wouldn't understand what they needed. It's very frustrating. :-/
