Kids, Health and Television: Sorry, but…

Sorry, but…

Today, my nephew spent a long while enthusiastically telling me how amazing his new 3D TV system is. I felt his pain as his face turned white when he remembered that I'm blind in one eye since birth. FML

Today, I went to a movie with a girl I went to high school with. There was a preview for an upcoming 3D movie. I asked her if she had ever seen a 3D movie before. She told me she couldn't because she is blind in one eye. Apparently it's a "sensitive subject." FML

Today, my 3 year old nephew was sitting on my knee at the computer. He was annoying me as he kept on pressing all the buttons. To scare him off I did a creepy voice in his ear that makes him cry. He turned round and broke my nose. FML

Today, my brother's new girlfriend, who is blind, asked to feel my face so she could tell what I look like. She said I was "unique". A blind chick just told me I was ugly. FML

Today, I was trying to be-friend a boy who was sitting alone. He had his gameboy nearly plastered to his eyes. I, cleverly, say to him, "Geeze don't put that thing so close, your eyes will fall out!" He took off his sunglasses, eyes going crooked, and said, "I'm legally blind." Insert foot here. FML

Today, my three year old nephew was pointing at the TV screen and saying "Uncle, Uncle!" He thought it was me on the screen. It was Rosie O'Donnell. FML

Today, my older brother called me in the middle of the night to describe to me, in painstaking elaborate detail, the Yamaha commercial he'd just watched. FML

Today, I come home to find my nephew holding pieces of my new $3,500 Sony Video Camera. He told me he threw it out the window because it was a portal for aliens. FML

Today, I was showing my step-dad old photos of the family. We got to a picture of me and I mentioned how much weight I've lost. He muttered, "Heh, fat AND blind". FML

Today, I accidentally poked myself in the left eye. As I sat there in pain, my 9-year-old nephew, who we think has OCD, decided to help out by poking me in the right eye. FML

Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. FML

Be happy for the guy. He sees you as an uncle, not a handicapped person.

Ehhh i know how you feel OP. While I can still "see" out of both eyes, I can't focus out of them simultaneously. (I only really use one eye anyway) so to hell with 3D! Sucks he didn't realize what he was saying, excitement can impair ones thoughts.

My husband has the same issue with his eyes! Poor bastard gets motion sickness and his eyes focusing at different rates makes it worse.

I cant see out of both eyes at once either and totally failed the 3d vision test my eye specialist did, meaning i have no 3d vision, weirdly though i looked at a 3d tv in the supermarket and the picture did come out of the screen a little...

Cut him some slack. At least he tried to share his joy with you.

I'm sure he didn't mean it to hurt your feelings. Maybe he just forgot about it?.. :)

I can't see with my left eye, and around 10% with my right one. I don't miss 3D much though:)

My fiance is blind in one eye. He can see the 3d, it just doesn't look like its jumping off the screen. He says it just looks much clearer than other movies.

3d looks better because they need high quality to create a good 3d effect, i have 1 eye and can vouch for what he says*

I'm blind in one eye and everyone forgets. It happens from time to time. It hurts my feelings when they rub in my face about all the cool 3d movies but I just think of a witty comment back they'll walk away with their tails between their legs.
