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.
