Hi, Gaston,
I handle things in a similar way. For the most part I try to be
diplomatic with sighted people unless I feel they're just on the edge of
stupidity. One time I did get a stupid question. The person asked me
"how do blind people eat". I answered, "with their feet". After that,
the person felt so embarrassed.

Hey folks,
If and when, my discussion with sighted people reaches a pretty stale point,
I ask them a good simple question.
If you are blind tomorrow.
How would you like us to treat you?
Then, I smile and wait for the response.
