"What do you do for work? I mean, if you can't see, you can't really work, right? So what do you do?" I am very hard to offend, but this one got to me. I explained my job, then started listing off other jobs blind people hold easily. I started going into adaptations, but the person lost interest.

I'm always amazed when someone genuinely asks if/thinks I can see out of my prosthetic eye. It's happened several times over the years...

I had a person on a plane ask me if I knew Sign Language. Huh?

The bad question is not "what do you do for work."

The really bad question is "why do you work."

I usually tell them if I didn't work, I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror.

How do you fall asleep?
You got here by yourself?
Can blind people be gay?
How do you wipe yourself?
Oh, and not really a question, but every time I've gone to the movie theatre near my house and asked for audio description, the person asked leaves and always comes back with closed captions. Like really, its not that hard lol I'm talking to you and holding a cane I'm not def.

Can you tell if your eyes are open?

And this person knows I have some sight...

One time someone asked me if I was offended by them being able to see. To me that’s just such an odd thing to ask? Like? No? You live your life n I’ll live mine? I’ve since made a joke out of it though so that’s fun

Oh oh and also one time in fifth grade I was in the middle of class and this girl walked up to me and asked me how I get dressed in the morning if I’m blind. Fifth grade me was overly embarrassed for no reason but to this day I can still remember that so vividly

​

Off the top of my head, can't really think of any questions per-se, but one I always get a chuckle from is when folks will speak to me really loudly.

​

Still unsure why that is. I guess they assume blind people are also half deaf?

​

It's my eyes that are broken, my ears are still just fine, lol.

The weirdest thing I've ever been asked is if I wanted to touch their faces. I have a good and fun sense of humor and always laugh it of declining the offer.
