Am I the Jerk?

Am I the Jerk?

Күн бұрын

I am a 28 year old woman who just recently went fully blind. When I was a teenager, I volunteered with my local youth group to help rebuild Mississippi after hurricane Katrina, and while down there I picked up a fungal parasite called Histoplasmosis that over a decade migrated to my eyes and slowly caused blindness. I've been totally blind for about a year now, so I'm pretty new to it, but I digress.
When I first went blind, I barely left the house and was afraid to go in public. I felt like everyone was staring at me and in all honestly I barely knew what I was doing, the transition had been difficult and I didn't have any support group to teach me. One day my husband asks if I can take an Uber down to the bank and deposit a rent check and I reluctantly agree. While out, he messages again and reminds me that we're out of a few crucial groceries. There was a Walmart grocery literally across the street from the bank, so I figure everything in life is an experience and I'll have to learn how to shop alone eventually so why not.

That second story doesn't need retribution, if anything I prefer that ending much better. The so-called entitled mother wasn't even all that entitled. Like the OP said, she was scared and worried for her son. I think she was actually a good mother to care so much, and even willing to calm down from her panic and come to an agreement with OP that might even help her son even more. And I do hope that both her and her son get away from that drunken bastard.

I'm neither a tank nor a gigachad, but I'm pretty sure I'd be doing exactly the same thing in that situation anyway (TBH, even before it got to the point where the guy appeared, what was going through my head as I was listening to this was basically "Are you OK? Don't worry, you're safe, and you'll be fine right where you are. Please wait here a moment and I'll be right back with your cane."). I think the only difference is I would have probably also been saying "Can somebody please call the police?" as well. Just seems like the obviously right thing to do, to be honest. It is always reassuring to hear that what _should_ happen was also what actually _did_ happen, though.

I am legally blind. I am totally blind in one eye. The other I can see clearly to the end of my nose. After that everything is a multi coloured moving blur. I use a cane. I have been blind from birth and I am now 62. I'm pretty good at getting around. A few months back I was in a Airport. When I end up in a crowd of people the best and safest thing for me to do is to stay still. On this day that is what I did. The next thing I know a loud voice is screaming at me. Calling me a old white privileged bitch and a lot more. I better get out of their way or. From behind me came a very very deep voice. Or what? No answer from the voice infront. Deep voice, this lady is blind and you need to say sorry. Which was done fast. My guardian angel stayed with me until my plane left. He never told me his name. I asked several times. What I can tell you is his blur was really really big and I have never felt so safe. Thank you young man for helping this old blind woman. You are for ever in my prayers. God bless you.

I'm glad you chose to include that second story here, and it's a bit sad to me that she felt she needed to apologize for not having "retribution", as if that's a bad thing. That was a far better ending, IMHO, and it's worth being reminded that sometimes these sorts of bad behaviors can just be symptoms of much bigger problems, and sometimes being sympathetic and understanding can go a lot further and be a lot better for everyone than mindlessly escalating conflict. I have to admit she was still far far better at it than I probably would have been, though. That woman is truly somebody to aspire to.

It's a lot more than just theft. Criminal assault. Hard to prosecute though, as she doesn't have much identifying information about the EM other than her screeching voice, but if there was a camera on them while it happened, and with the help of the store, the OP could have. I'd imagine she was just, too overwhelmed and stressed / traumatized by the incident to pursue any legal retribution.

Im a plumber and had a boiler job where I was allowed to keep the scrap copper from the old system which ended up being about $2500 . I pulled up to a local scrap yard and I could tell the owner was excited to see all the copper ,he had just took over the business from the gentleman that I had dealt with for years. I am in the middle of unloadingth scrap into drums to be weighed when this old man probablyin his late 80'shad pulled up and started to unload little grocery bags with crushed cans ,the new owner sees the crushed cans and begins screaming angrily at the old man for bringingcrushed cans ,and how he won't be cheated by the old man hiding rocks in them ,the poor old guy looks terrified and drops his bag of cans as this guy scream. As this is happeningin a matter of 30 secondsor so I decided to grab my scrap and I dump the barrel in the bead of the truck with a loud crash startling both men. The owner comes over and asks me what I'm doing also I am considerably larger than the owner who was just a second using his size to intimidate a old man so I step up in front of him and say that he has just lost my business and that of anyone I know for how he treated this old man .the owner storms off mumbling as I help the old man pick up his bags an I offer to give him 20$ for his cans which was probably 15 more than there worth ,he happily accepts and helps me put them in my truck. he then thanks me for helping him as he sees the scrap yard owner looking at him with daggers out the window ,in a straight up clint east wood move he flips him off and spits on the ground as he gets in his car to leave. Please remember to treat people with respect and if your able to help someone in need to do it without hesitation.

I knew someone that had that parasite but it only went to one eye, and gradually over time she got accustomed to it eating away at her cornea. So much so she didn't notice until one day her mom was talking to her from her blind side and noticed her daughter wasn't tracking what she was doing so they went to an eye doctor and found out that she had become completely blind in that eye.... she didn't even realize it. Now If her not realizing it was true idk, she was a really could volley ball player and I think she was trying not to ruin an opportunity to get a scholarship so she never reported it... (what about physicals... well she was homeschooled so the association she participated in for volley ball didn't require a physical, so that's how she got around it)

I can explain since my bad eye turned completely blind recently, but it never worked better than 0,5/10(1/20). When one of your eyes doesn't work properly, your brain stops processing the data it's sending, which means you only see through your good eye and you actually have to make a deliberate choice to watch through the bad one. I can't pinpoint the exact moment when my almost blind eye went fully blind, either, because I hardly ever bother with it... unless I have to put eyedrops in it - not by watching (I've always used touch to know where the bottle is)

I have to comment on the last story of the boyfriend feeling safer at his girlfriend's house. It reminded me of when my son was in high school. To set this up properly a little background. My husband was disabled and I had recently been injured on the job (which turned out to leave me permanently disabled as well). We didn't have much and were, quite simply, POOR. We lived in an old mobile home in back of a friend's parents house. One of my son's best friends came from a very wealthy home, but a very controlling unhappy home. He and his father would get in these horrific fights and the son would sneak out after a blow up with his dad and walk the 5 miles to our place in the middle of the night. After we realized what was happening we told him that he was always welcome, but he needed to call his dad when he showed up at our house and let his dad know where he was. After several weeks of this my husband got a call from the boy's father demanding to know what we were doing/telling his son. My husband invited the boy's father over to talk with us. You could see the shock on the man's face when he arrived. Personally, I don't think he had ever been in a mobile home before, especially a very old one. We explained to the man that when his son showed up in the middle of the night we would not turn him away, but we always told him he needed to contact his dad & do what his dad wanted. Afterall it was his dad. My husband said he understood that things were unstable at their house and that we understood. Not everything in life runs smoothly. But we told him that we had made the rule that when his son showed up, our son was to come wake us up & let us know he was there. We said we made sure he had a place to sleep and that he got to school the next day. We asked what else could we do to make the man's worry better and he asked if we would call him when his son showed up so he would know he was somewhere safe. I think he thought we were trying to 'steal' his son away from him. But in fact, we were always telling the boy he should listen to his dad. In the beginning, when my husband 1st invited the man over it was out of fear that this man might call the cops on us. And you never know how that will turn out, especially when dealing with someone who comes from money and has a lot of 'connections'. But mostly we just wanted to assure the man that his son was safe at our house. When he left he thanked us for taking the time to talk to him and for making sure his son was safe. I'm just thankful we were able to provide my son's friend with a stable environment. 20+ yrs later and my son & his friend are both grown men now. But his friend still stays in contact with me and calls me his 'momma'.

The Karen stealing the cane just boils my blood. Even if someone had been "pretending" they have no right to steal other people's property. I would have gone full on Mega Karen on the Karen and made her pay for every ding her child made into that cane. Tryst me, my Karen pterodactyl screech is shrill enough to break glass.

I am legally blind (still have some sight but am considered blind under the federal legal statutes) and use a white support cane when I'm out because I also have trouble with my knee. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been called out on "faking" my disability. Fortunately, the state commission for the blind for my state has been very supportive and provides me with the things I need to be able to fully navigate life. Sadly things like what OP had to deal with are FAR FAR too common. Hell, my neighbor from hell on a weekly basis harasses me as a "fraud" because I'm awful independent for a blind individual. Blind doesn't have to mean helpless, and I truly hope that, with time, OP becomes comfortable enough and gets the support she needs to be able to be more independent. But it is certainly rough to deal with the Karens.

The first story really hits home, I have very poor eyesight, I'm not blind in anyway yet just I can't do anything without my glasses but walk, and it's hasn't really stopped from getting worse. There's the chance that I could become legally blind, so seeing that op and knowing so many others have to go through that really makes me mad. I'm glad the guy was there and helped out. It honestly makes me have faith if I do become legally blind that I'll be able find some amazing people if I need any help.

For the first story i can kinda agree that being blind is not fun, i may not be blind but when i was in the second grade the teachers got together and decided to teach us second graders how it would be like to be blind so if we saw a blind person, we would kinda know what it would be like. I had a lot of difficulty getting around blindfolded and trying with the blind cane. Even the special letters was hard to understand. But i can understand on how AG reacted with that woman and her child taking the cane as blind people need it to get around. So the AG is not the jerk and the entitled mother and devil kid were in no right of doing what they did.

Blind people don't need sunglasses like we do like why protect vision you don't have. Sunglasses are more for light sensitivity like my blindness now op may want a specific pair but we don't need fancy sunglasses I'm sure her family can pick out a good pair that aren't as expensive it does help subconsciously to tell others you really are blind. Even though the cane is far more likely to be only used by the blind. Now I'm on the edge and personally avoiding the cane I have one I'm loosening focus so never will go 100% dark just 100%out of focus x fingers nothing else goes down with my eyes. Ablists do majorly suck.

The story of the blind person having their can stolen reminded me of an incident in my childhood. When I was around seven to nine I developed cateracts. Because of the cateracts I had surgeries where they had to remove the lenses in my eyes to get rid of the cateracts. This meant I was considered legally blind. I had bottle thick glasses so I could see. However, I couldn't see very well in the dark. So the incident happened when we had friends visiting and decided to go to Salem to see the things about the witch trials. After a mock courtroom, we went to the next section. unfortunately we had to go downstairs in very dim lighting. I think my mom was helping me as I tested every step with my foot before I stepped down. Some one behind us asked, I think sarcastically, "What is she blind?" Then my mom turned around and said "Yes, she is.". I don't remember what happened after that. But to this day I still have trouble seeing in dim light.

I happen to be blind and I speak from experience when I say that people can be cruel! For those of you who do not know there are a wide variety of technology and apps and programs that allow a blind person to do many things that might seem impossible for a sighted person to wrap their minds around. Sure as a blind person we have certain things that we may not be able to do due to lack of vision however don't ever simply assume that a blind or otherwise disabled person is not capable of typing. We can do anything that we set our minds to. We will ask for help if we need it. It was wrong of that other woman to take that canwe. How would à sighted person feel if their independence was stolen from them? I dare any sighted person to spend a week in the shoes of a blind person! They wouldn't last one day.

by listening to first story i could feel her panic. I am totally NOT blind, but my class went on a trip to a "dark place" - a place that is menaged by blind people, that is supposed to show others how their life looks like, by leading groups of people into some completely dark rooms that imitate home, shop, bus and other places. I got lost there by accident and really didn't know what to do. I had no idea in what room i am and how i could get back to my group, so i started panicking. Ik, that it probably is nothing compared to op's story, but it still really allowed me to feel her more

I'm extremely physically disabled and I don't look like it most of the time. In fact, unless you see me at home, where I'm basically bedridden, it's even harder to see. What little bit I do get out, I have to be careful not to waste my time and energy. I smile, laugh, and prefer not to show how vulnerable I am. I have had people, all the time, accusing me of not being that bad off! I was a hyper active workaholic before I got sick, and a control freak, who'd rather do it myself than count on anyone else. It cuts deep, for people, especially if they're friends and family, to treat me in this cruel manner. I feel for anyone who is disabled and not believed or understood.
