I have two beefs about being blind.
One is all the time I waste waiting on transportation, whether
paratransit, fixed route, or family and friends, some of whom have
forgotten me a number of times.
The other is having people talk around me and, instead, ask the person
accompanying me, in restaurants, doctors’ offices, etc.

Hi all,
Another blind TABI user and I were talking today about how blindness
is a “bitch”. I’m putting it out there as “What’s your beef about
being blind”.
I’ll start the thread with You can’t see what’s coming at you from any
location. For example,you might be walking to a bus stop and a vehicle
is speeding up and you might be in peril, or you might be attracting
unwanted attention.
Tell us what’s your beef!
