Whats your response to “How many fingers am i holding up?”(self.Blind)
submitted by Imdarkj
This might only happen to people like me with some vision, but i find it offensive and wanted to find an appropriate response.

My eye Dr told me to flip your middle finger at them and ask the same question.

I’ve been asked that a lot. Mostly in elementary school. I would just make up some crazy number like 500 and if they say anything, just say “I’m blind. What did you expect?”

"What a coincidence! I asked your mother the same question last night!"

"and the answer was always 'not enough!'"

I love this.

My answer was always "enough to go fuck yourself with." but only a few people would ask me.
The polite answer would be "More than you should to someone who can't see your hands" or "I don't know ASL."

Meh, nothing really to be offended over. I don’t care lol but that’s the attitude I have. The vision impaired fella who doesn’t care. :P

I'm on the same boat, I don't get why people are bothered by it. I just believe people are curious about it.
God-Macabre1 points4y ago
Agreed. I think it’s because it’s the only way they can think of to test you and even been shown by optometrists.

I'm not blind but my suggestion would be always try to guess randomly between 1-10 and the odd occasion that you get it right and they ask how you knew, I'd fuck with them and say "You're sausage fingers are so fat even blind people can see them."

That is offensive to me and my vision is fine.

I used to say "If I guess correctly do I get to break them?" For some reason I can't quite put my finger on they didn't think that was funny.
Mind, it didn't offend me, I just had shit to do and didn't have time for it.

So usually people do this right up next to my face and my vision is bad but not bad enough to not know how many fingers they are holding up so say they were holding up 3 fingers i would say hmmm i see 3 fingers and one asshole

Ask your mother how many fingers I used last night.
