Pet Peeves #2

alright, on to my second pet peeve...let's see...

#2
I cannot stand talking to a person with a lisp! Don't ask me why...I guess I've been raised by a very intelligent, articulate family...and when I talk to a person with a lisp I automatically picture them as being unintelligent. Plus it's just distracting. How can we have a normal conversation if all I can think about is that last word with an "s" in it that you mispronounced?? Lol. I once had a good-looking, light-skinned black man come up to my window at my job (at Rita's Italian Ice)...and I was thinking, "Man, he is so cute". I couldn't wait for him to open his mouth and say something...and then he did. With one of the worst lisps I've ever heard in my life, he said, "Can I have two large Misto shakes?"...Ugh...deal breaker. And I felt so terrible afterwards because he seemed like the sweetest thing in the world. Little did he know...that lisp gave him an "X" in my book.

(DISCLAIMER: I really don't mean to offend anyone. These are my thoughts. I told you was sarcastic...)
