A bigger phone (self.Blind)
submitted by awesomesaucesaywhat
I was waiting at the doctors and some old guy saw me with my phone practically touching my nose and said I needed a bigger phone or I'd go blind.
Jokes on you buddy, I'm already legally blind.
:D

I've already got a rather large phone (5.5 inch) and usually use a pocket magnifier and still hold it relatively close.
At least you took it in stride. Humor's usually the best option. Probably better than when I used to take my prosthetic eye out to prove I couldn't see someone... heh.

I had a relative who took his prosthetic eye out once when I was a kid. Held it behind his head to 'check if the barber did a good job'.
6yr old me was freaked the fuck out. lol

Oh man, that would be hilarious! I'm imagining you just casually plucking it out and showing them like no biggie.

My nephews used to ask me why I was smelling my phone all the time.

That's adorable. My nose has clicked on something on my phone so many times

Jeez...people can be so insensitive sometimes. That's hilarious, though! Did you say anything? Tell him you actually WERE legally blind? I would have! Classic.

I just chuckled awkwardly. He was a pretty old guy and I was too tired for conversation.
