Lol. When I was traveling to Maine I was walking into a fast food restaurant. A guy in a business suit with glasses runs into me Knocking everything out of my hands onto the ground. I immediately start picking stuff up and he walks by saying watch where you're going. Another phrase a blind person hates to hear.

When I was back in high school I was slowly descending the stairs. A guy started running up the stairs, turned the corner and collided with me. 1 sited conversation went something like this:

"Are you blind? Look in front of you"
"oh my god brother I'm so sorry I'm really sorry oh my god"

Seemed like he was going to keep going so I just said no problem and walked off. Funny part was this incident had nothing to do with being blind - he was dashing up the stairs and would've hit anyone that happened to be around the corner lol

Walking in Manhattan once prior to getting my first cane and O & M trainin, ran into a guy with a handcart full of paper boxes. “What are you blind! I’m walking here!”

”Yes, I am. Sorry.”

”No cane, no dog you ain’t blind!“

I kept walking, wasn’t worth the time or effort, but he guy made me laugh.

them: what are you blind or something?
Me: yes, indeed I am
Them:… Squeaks and begins to talk in tongues

Or

Them: Watch where you’re going.
Me: sorry I can’t, what’s your excuse?
Them: Angerly walks away

Now, using a white cane while in a wheelchair… That causes much confusion indeed

Most if not all of the time this happens, people realize pretty quickly I actually AM blind, which leads to an almost hilarious amount of apologizing and public groveling. Phrases like "watch where you're going" aren't as common here; that phrase is usually phrased as a question here which you can respond to rather deadpan. "Can't you watch where you're going?" "no, actually..."
