I am a visually impaired man. Because I can't always see what's going on, I keep my ears open. Sometimes, I hear some funny stuff, so I thought I would share them with you! Any thoughts I had during the exchanges are placed in square brackets and I'm sometimes even involved in the conversations myself. So remember, if you're talking - I'm listening...

Words and Pictures

I'm often baffled by the number of people who hop on public transport, completely unaware of where they're going. Even I know most of the time, and I'm visually impaired. In the age we're living in, it's so easy to plan a route. With Google Street View, you can even see an actual image of where you need to go. So why do people have so many problems reading and paying attention?

Female Student: Excuse me, is this bus going to the uni?
Richard: Yes.
Female Student: Oh good, I  wasn't sure where it was going. Are you sure it's going to the uni?
Richard: Yes.
Female Student: How are you so sure?
Richard: Because when I got on, it said "University" on the front.
Female Student: Oh, so that means it's definitely going to the uni?

No. It's going to Hogwarts. But that's a surprise. Geez.
