Damn, that white stick was expensive, it was him that said it would make 'it' look far more kosher, I'll tell him not to bother with it next time..... ;D ;D

I once reversed out of a parking space and my back wheel went over a blind fella's white stick.  He shouted and I stopped, trapping his stick.

I couldn't say sorry enough, but he was okay about it.  The Chepstow window cleaners will know the bloke, a big fellow with a beard.

i was once on a night out with the lads in cardiff

we popped into Burger king on the way to a club, as i came out of the door a blind man put his stick between my legs as i stepped out, of course slightly drunk he tripped me up and his stick got bent, he launched a torrent of abuse at me, really nasty, i explained what happened and he continued the torrent, so i stopped him and said sorry and offered to pay for a new stick, the torrent continued

so i walked away, only for some guy to come out of burger king and punch me from behind  ::) he didnt realise who i was with at the time, i turned around after stumbling a little more, to find the guy getting a kicking, then a few mates of this guy came out to help and it turned into a mass brawl  ::), it resulted in the police arriving and 3 of the other guys mates getting arrested, i did thank the football police spotter for not pulling any of the guys i was out with , fairly funny when i think back, being saved by a policeman whose job was to point us out to police in other area's

There used to be a blind guy in the States that cleaned windows for a living by touch.  8)

Years ago i worked with my brother laying flooring.We had to do a blind womans house in Tilbury.I laid the carpet on the stairs and my brother laid the vinyl in the kitchen.When we had finished he was peeing himself laughing....the rotten sod had cut the vinyl around the bin in the kitchen for a laugh.....he reckoned she wouldn't see it,however he didn't get paid for the job as her daughter who wasn't blind noticed it and complained to the flooring company.I thought that would teach him a lesson but obviously not as he got the sack for being caught dancing around another customers bedroom with a pair of knickers on his head... ;D
