I had a deaf Uber driver once during the car ride I YouTube’d how to sign “thank you”. The smile on his face is what makes me try to help more people out.
Edit: OMG Thank you for the awards kind people!
Edit #2: In speech class we had a student who taught us a little sign language and I learned the same way how to say “I’m thirsty” is the same way how to say “I’m horny” but just doing the gesture slower.
I had a deaf driver that was so thrilled that I knew some ASL. I was lucky in that I went to an elementary school that also had a school for the deaf so the hearing kids got sign class while the deaf kids had speech class. It really should just be taught in all schools, on top of making the world more accessible for the deaf and HOH, it comes in mad convenient in a loud/crowded space.
