Dear sir in the bus, my brother is not a moron

Dear Sir:

Yes, I know people have trouble understanding my little brother when he speaks. This would be due to his speech development having been impaired by the cleft lip and palate he was born with. He has not had the chance to practice certain sounds until fairly recently (due to the fact that he has only had a roof to his mouth for three years), and I am perfectly aware that he sounds quite funny when he speaks almost entirely in vowels. It is sometimes difficult for us, his own family, to understand him.

However, this does not mean my little brother is a “drooling moron”, as you so kindly, and loudly, decided to inform the entire bus today after listening to us having a conversation. Don’t think he didn’t hear you. You made him cry all the way home. My little brother is not mentally inferior to anyone else in any way. He knows most of his letters and numbers and can read simple words. I think you will find that for a five-year-old, this is not all that bad.

And in comparison to you, sir, he is Stephen Hawking. He is a bright, intelligent young boy. You, sir, are the drooling moron. An asshole of the highest degree. Forget about not branching. Based on the copious amount of inbreeding that must have gone on in your family to produce such an abomination to the human race, it’s a wonder your family tree hasn’t turned into circle.

Sir, the next time I come across you, you would do wisely to keep your ignorant, spiteful opinions to yourself. Because if I ever catch you saying things about other people again, I will climb over other people’s heads and bitchslap you so hard that by the time your head has finished spinning around, your face will have fallen off due to centrifugal force.

May you be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a cliff and may rabid dogs fight over your bloodied remains at the bottom of the ravine.

Drop dead, sir. From a great height, if possible.

Ok, I feel a little better now.

I’m sorry. That is really crappy.

Are you going to report this?

I’ll provide the goat and the rabid dogs. What an asshole.

What an insensitive jerk! He made fun of a five year old!?

Report this asshole immediately.
(And give the little darling an extra hug.)

Well, you’re really only refuting half the argument there, aren’t you?

:eek:

I’m going straight to hell.

“it’s a wonder your family tree hasn’t turned into circle.”

“if I ever catch you saying things about other people again, I will climb over other people’s heads and bitchslap you so hard that by the time your head has finished spinning around, your face will have fallen off due to centrifugal force.”

Wow. I’d hate to be this guy if/when you lay into him.

Give yer bro a hug for me too. Lord knows it isn’t easy to cry all through school:(

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me you read the bugpus the riot act. What type of individual makes fun of anyone with a speech impediment, let alone a child!

I hope somebody on the bus said something to him! He must’ve felt like a really big person, making a five year old cry.

Call the bus company and file a formal complaint.

ARRGGHHH–kill kill kill kill kill–! I would have given the creep a royal tongue-lashing, but then I’m a mouthy bitch.

Oh, how I wish I could say that I couldn’t believe someone would actually say that, but sadly, I can. :frowning:

Your poor little brother.

Don’ be mean to the rabid dogs by letting them have this guy’s corpse. Such nasty meat would only make them more sick.

Poor kid. you may want to protect him from some of the language in this thread, but why not at least show it to him, or tell him folks are thinking godd thoughts his way?

Nah, you get points because it’s so fucking funny… even if a little obvious. :wink:

What the Hell? He said this about a FIVE YEAR OLD?

Oh, big man, you made a five-year-old cry. Yeah, you’re the man, you’re a big hero!

Good lord! What a fucking ASSHOLE!

Give your brother extra hugs for me. And tell him that I said the guy was a poopyhead.

How anyone could do that to ANYONE, much less a child is BEYOND me…

Your OP shows far more class than “sir” on the bus deserves or can ever hope to acquire. Welcome aboard. :slight_smile:

My grand-niece in law (who’s about to turn two), was born with a cleft palate and several other facial deformities (the most noticeable of which was her left I being a good inch and a half lower than her right eye). She had major reconstructive surgery a few months ago, and it amazes me how many total strangers who once felt compelled to comment on her “defects” now feel compelled to comment on the scars from the surgery. It’s a shame they don’t comment on her intelligence, her exuberance, her loving and affectionate demeanor, or her sunny disposition.

You tell your brother that there’s a little girl called Sophie in Australia who thinks that "sir’ on the bus has a few problems which can’t be corrected by surgery, and that Sophie send him lots of big smiles and hugs. :slight_smile:

I was also born with a cleft palate and several other defects. In fact my earliest memories are of going to my speech therapist as a child. I cannot believe someone was so low class as to say something like that within earshot of the kid. When I hear someone say " I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy", that is exactly what I wish on them. So tell your little brother he is definitely not alone.

Also, I hope you reported this scumbag, there is no excuse for making that type of comment while you are working with the public. Whether someone is mentally slow or not that is unacceptable and he needs to be held accountable if possible.

What a complete and total fucker. My cousin has a pretty bad speech impediment. She’s about four years old, and is totally incomprehensible. Luckily, her older sister had the same problem, and was able to correct it with the help of a speech therapist. How someone could say something like that to a little kid… I can understand evil, it’s the assholes that confuse me. Anyway, unlike reprise, I think there are a number of surgeries that could correct what’s wrong with this guy. Start off by neutering him, so he can’t breed. Maybe a partial lobotomy, and, oh, we’ll see where it goes from there.

oops this may not be clear, I mean jerks like the bus driver not people who say that.

Someone who was supposed to be professional in demeanor and was obviously working with the public said this to/about a FIVE-YEAR-OLD?!? :mad: There aren’t words strong enough to describe the thoughts going through my head.

Obviously, your brother can’t help the way he is. And even if he could… well, there’s no excuse to say that! Didn’t someone on the bus try to knock some sense in this guy’s head?

Give your brother extra-loving hugs from me, and tell him that not all people are like that. It’s just a shame that he had to encounter the lowest of the low. :frowning:

F_X

I’m confused. Was it the driver who said this, or a passenger?
