Someone possessing the exact opposite of the stereotypes of a deaf person, like the comic book character Daredevil, but in reverse/ Instead of possessing acute senses to make up for their lack of hearing, a deaf and dumb person would probably die of smoke inhalation after starting a cooking fire because they are too unobservant to see the spreading flames, smell the smoke, or feel the heat, or and too idiotic to remember that they were cooking something in the first place -- all as the fire eventually consumed the house.
They have no deaf or
hard of hearing friends because they're too lazy to learn sign language. Instead, they force you to use a unique form of pidgin that's a mixture of
pantomime, pointing, and sounding things out with your mouth until you both become frustrated and the deaf and dumb becomes angry that you made them put their
hearing aid on because they "don't like wearing it." It usually takes them 20 minutes to find their hearing aid but god forgive you if you have somewhere to be, as anything other than
patiently waiting will result in them screaming at you while you can't respond. Even if they are able to hear you, they often
obfuscate obvious sentences into nonsense. To use the first example of the cooking fire, a family member might run up to them and yell, "The house is on fire!" Even after having a lifetime to learn
lip reading, they would probably respond, "The mouse has gone prior?" or, "I'm already using the fryer!! Are you blind?"
I learned
ASL to better communicate with my deaf and dumb mother, but she said it was too hard, like learning to text. Instead she insists on screaming into the phone then
hanging up on me when she gets frustrated. She will
die alone.
