Need to vent thank you for reading

So we have an interim supervisor at my job, i’ve barely spoken to them, we aren’t friends. I let them know as i do with all new employees that i am hard of hearing and that if i don’t hear you, that I’m not ignoring you.

They react by having the biggest smile and asked me if i told the other interim supervisor (there’s 2) and i said no. I thought that was weird but i just shook it off.

They then come back into my area and mention something about their child who i ask about. They say their child is young and then they begin to mimic speaking to me but with no sound coming out and say their spouse does that with their child, pretends they don’t hear the child. I just look at them and smile awkwardly cause that’s weird af.

So during that interaction i gathered that they think it’s funny that i can’t hear.

So then they come up yesterday to say goodbye and they do the mimicking speaking without sound again!!! I’m helping someone so i couldn’t really react.

Then i starting getting anxious and angry like i don’t know you well enough to be making fun of my hearing loss, you’re in a position of power over me and it’s just rude af. I called my direct supervisor and told them you do realize that being hard of hearing is a disability right?

So i left, they texted me to apologize but I’m left with anger and questioning why the fuck do people think my hearing loss is a fucking joke. I’m fucking tired of it.

If you got this far thank you…..
