Never again

Hearing people can be so dumb...
man, if I didn't have the most annoying time just now. I'm just now in from trying to get a small loan to get an older & gently used Jeep Cherokee to replace the van that was declared a total loss.
Anyway that's besides the point...
So, here's my wife and I at the bank... The loan officer lady calls us in... "So you're his interpreter?" "No... I'm his wife..."
Loan Lady:
*paper shuffling, clickeyclickclick on the computer... "sorry sorry printer problems.." Clickey click click
"Will he be able to sign papers himself? Or will you have to help him?"
Me: *blink*
Merche (wife): *blink* Uh.. yes he can, not only can he do that, he owns a computer & networking company.. he's pretty sharp....
Me: *blink*... oh!! Here's my business card- I noticed you were having problems with your printers... One of my employees can help you... We specialize in Financial Institution computer systems and networking as well as K-12 Education and a few small to medium local businesses."
Loan Lady: *blank stare* wow.... Maybe you can give me some computer lessons sometime....
Me: "I don't do that... My specialty in the company is managing all the Unix, Linux & Internet servers in our care."
I quit my spiel when I saw her eyes rolling back showing the whites.
Some people... GOD!
I don't care about being Deaf... it's just the ignorant people that annoy me more than anything... During all this, I was also texting my business partner all this on my celphone, going, "OMG This is unreal!!" He told me I should have drooled all over the place and grabbed her pen and used it to clean my ears with.
I wish I did.
ps: All my talking was done in sign language with my wife Merche, interpreting, of course.
pps: anybody recommend a good crash course in English for me?
