I'm not late-deafened. I was born deaf and I use ASL as my primary communication. I am with the others in ganging up on people who choose to plaster "Victim" on their foreheads. I'm a top-tier elite with UA, but I don't expect them to provide me DVD players or sign langauge interpreters on all of my flights.

I'm glad I found this thread - I am constantly amazed at this "gimme" mentality. When I go thru a drive-thru, I have never had problems getting my order by skipping the microphone and driving for the window. They will try their best to accommodate me and I'm appreciative of that.

Having Arby's in Irvine actually place a keyboard on the drive-thru was absolutely ridiculous and they found that nobody was using it. It was eventually taken out and I'm glad they didn't get sued again for that! Taco Bell did the same thing - and eventually took it out too.

I am NOT hearing who is not getting it. I am DEAF who is NOT getting it!
