Cuz I haven't seen one deaf person in real life for my entire life. I know that deaf people are out there. But like where though? They aren't grocery shopping. They aren't clothes shopping. They're not at the parks.
I've seen blind people. No deaf people though.
Have you ever met a deaf person before?
Sounds like you might be blind to deaf people.
shareCoincidentally, a deaf dumb woman asked me for directions the other day by showing me a map and gesturing her question.
My brother-in-law's parents are both deaf and have been since birth.
Perhaps they have hearing aids that are small enough to where you can't tell they're deaf?? The wonders of Technology you know?? 🤔
shareLOL.. very strange questions. When I was a paper boy as a child I had one customer that was deaf. This was back in the 80s. Since then I cant remember ever meeting one so you are not alone. I never even thought about it until reading your post but its weird. I have also worked in a lot of different fields and places so its not like I have not been around. I suspect they keep to themselves and chose to live fairly private low key lives.
That customer I had was a very nice woman and I just always made sure to have eye contact when we spoke so she could read my lips. Never had a bad experience with her and basically treated her like everyone else.

At a restaurant, sat next to a table of deaf people one time, they were loud as fuck. It was the constant banging on the table that was the really annoying part.
shareReally. I would like to see more deaf people in my community. They shouldn't have to hide from the world.
shareAgreed. Think we should make them wear a sign around their neck, or maybe they could carry a bell that they ring at regular intervals?
shareYou're rude. One day you will experience a disability. Maybe then you will think back on this day when you said awful things to Tina about deaf people.
shareIn that situation, and I think you would agree, if this were an ideal society I'd be put to work in the mines. I'd be too tired to think about old conversations with "Tina".
sharePardon?
