Working boy

Skipping a bit now, but Lochie came home from work with a story that I just had to share.  Loc is working as an apprentice cabinet maker.  He is meticulous and has amazing work ethic.  His natural ability to talk to people gives him an edge over othe people he is working with and customers adore him.
Loc was working with one of the tradesmen putting in a bathroom cabinet.  Lochie was doing the measurements and reading them out.
"Ok, its 1100 cm, oh no its not, sorry it's 1010", Lochie corrected himself.
"What are you? Dyslexic or something?", demanded the tradesman.
"Well yeah actually, I am", replied Lochie.
"Well don't  be proud of it", shouted the tradesman. 
He continued on often calling Lochie stupid and retarded due to his reading issues.  Lochie doesnt make errors with his reading, but he does take the time to double and triple check.
The continued insults caused Lochie to feel upset about going to work so he brought it up with the boss. 
"well, we didn't know you were retarded", was his only response.

Unfortunately there is limited understanding of dyslexia and there will always be stupid people.  Lochie has just developed resilience to it but it still hurts.
