I don’t think I’d go to hell for making this statement. Right? Being a jerk knows no boundaries. And besides, if that weren’t the case, why would they have these “not so nice” words in Braille?
Reminds me of one time when I was pulling up to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix to pick up my sister. I pulled into a spot temporarily so they could help her out to the car. I looked at the sign at my spot, worrying about using a handicapped space. The sign said "Parking for the Blind." Holy shit--I'm glad I wasn't there minutes earlier when that dude was backing out!
At my high school, there was a kid in a wheelchair... and he was a complete asshole. He would constantly ask people for money to buy sodas, and he would be like, "Hey, I'm in a wheelchair, please?" (Like, literally.)
I had to learn sign this winter,,, and I did not realize there were signs for those words.. I just thought they flipped us the bird.. no.. THEY CUSS IN SIGN... a lot.. words I didn't know about!
I could never understand why braille isn't done with a series of bumps that are shaped just like the letter they're supposed to represent. Bueller? Bueller?
I agree, meanness has no limitations.
ReplyDeletebe mean anyway to the mean. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, once a blind guy hit me in the ankle with his walking stick and didn't even say sorry. Mean!
ReplyDeleteWell what the fuck???
ReplyDeleteYou think blind people don't cuss or what???

Anyone can be mean. I just can't believe it's never occurred to me to find how to write these kinds of words in braille. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI kept touching my screen but I just can't make them out...

I thought the blind had seeing eye dogs to read signs for them...live and learn, I guess...

ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I would never have thought they had words in braille to cuss others out.

ReplyDeleteThanks to you have have now begun my Braille education.
ReplyDeleteI knew a right tosser at school who was deaf. His mum all thought we didn't like him because he had a disability but it was cause he was a tool.

ReplyDeleteI 've never understood why the M in braille isn't written like an M.... Why don't they make raised letters?
