    I always wait for people with a speech impediment to finish their statement, no matter if he or she takes a long time or if I already know the end of the sentence. I would want someone to do the same for me; when people finish my sentences or answer before I’m finished talking I get extremely annoyed and insulted.

    If you can’t spare an extra 30 seconds to spare someone’s feelings, then don’t interact with anyone who is different from you.

    Show some patience and let them finish. Eventually you’ll learn to ask short answered quetions.

    I work the phones and take orders in person at a pizza place, so I get to talk to a lot of different people, and the occasional stutterer. Most of the time, I’ll just let them finish, but if they’re obviously having a really hard time saying one thing and I know what it’s going to be, I’ll just say ‘Okie dokie, no problem’ and put it in to the order. No matter what, though, I always smile and am patient .
