50 Diabolical, Unhinged And Funny Questions This Blind Guy Answered About Himself

We he's not gonna cheat, duh. lol

Dear Toby: I spent 32 years as a classical producer for an NPR station. We had a blind student employee who could do just about anything except drive a car. He could refile LPs and CDs. He could operate an audio board. He often spoke of having "seen" a movie or a TV show. Absolutely fearless about walking anywhere with his white cane. He wasn't merely blind. He was born with no eyes. I will never forget how awed I was by the way he went about his life.

My sister gave me a T-shirt for my birthday a few years ago. I thought it was just a simple top with weirdly placed rhinestones along my b***s. Turns out, the rhinestones weren’t randomly placed. They were set in braille and said “not my eyes.”

They're pretty good by braille

HAHAAH YES!

have a friend that has this

Hahaha, this is actually brilliant!

Pete Gustin, aka the Blind Surfer, on YouTube, did a sort of demonstration, to explain this, using a surfboard with a small pile of sand on it. He had his fiance, who he calls Banana, lol, put on a blindfold, take a washcloth, and clean off the sand that way. Same principle. It was pretty enlightening, actually.

I asked a blind man how he knew - "When I'm done!"

With or without sight you wash with soap your nether parts.

Hahahaha 😂

I wonder what he meant to type.

Understand that blindness isn't you either have sight or you have NONE. There are a huge amount of levels of blindness. Such as, legal blindness. Or MD. Or ROP. Or even glaucoma.

He's Clayton Bigsby!

Hahaha 😂

😆

Ive seen both on the exact same picture a few seconds apart. It was weird.

Brilliant answer

🤣🤣🤣

I saw blue and gold

The only thing I've always been afraid of as a blind person is that someone would slip a bug, or a bug would end up in my food somehow, and I didn't know it until it was too late, in my mouth! Otherwise, bring it on, baby! Us blind folks can do anything! I, for instance, and a dr. and for fun, I learned how to spin fire/fire dance! (used LED props at first, of course!)

I thought that's what the dog was for.

I can see and walk into stuff all the time

I learned from a blind person that when he was newly blind, he would walk into the end of the door when someone had left it partially open. Especially in surroundings/layouts that he was familiar with when he'd had his vision.

This right here, this comment, is why I am glad I am blind too. I definitely live in the moment, using my other senses more than most people do.

TIL you can dream in smell!!! Amazing.

I worried about this as a child as every visit with the optometrist got me thicker glasses. I even tried to learn Braille. Things settled down, but I wore increasingly more powerful glasses from age 4 to 69. Then in 2019 I had cataract surgery, and the doctor pulled some powerful whammy to get me vision correcting lenses. So since then I am glasses free. Every eye exam is anxiety central but so far still free.

I remember a C64 'streetfighter'-type sidescrolling game, where one of the standard opponents was a blind guy in a suit slashing you to death with his cane. Can't think of the name now.

I have clearly not been paying attention, as I have yet to witness such an encounter
