Lost

By wideman - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was at church and saw a blind teenager who obviously looked lost. Feeling like I should help, I went over and asked if he needed anything. He said, "I can't find my caretaker." I asked, "What does she look like?" FML

It's a normal question anyone would ask, without thinking. I'm sure it didn't upset him. Not a big deal.

Tee hee. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if he did know what his caretaker looked like. He may have known a brief description, for situations like this. Still funny though. :D

Could have been worse. You could have tried to high five him. Ryan Seacrest, what a dumbass.

Just because a person is blind doesn't mean they don't know what somebody looks like. There's a really good chance they've been told what their caretaker looks like. You know, in case they need help finding them.

if I was him, I'd just laugh and come up with a joke.

oooppps lol at least u had good intentions

My mom said she once told her blind room-mate to "go look at the clock --oops!" when asked what the time was. The room-mte was actually pleased, because it meant she was treated like a normal person rather than being "blind Annie". Besides, if you're trying to be helpful it's a reasonable question. Don't beat yourself up.

haha. I'm sorry that's such a cute mistake.

haha that's funny. He really should ask her what she looks like at some point though. It would make it a lot easier for people to find her if that ever happens again.

grr a slip of your tongue. i feel bad for ya

I'm trying to feel bad for you, but that's just SO damn funny.

I'm suuuuuuure he described to you what she looked like.
