So I decided to burn some of my GI bill and take some classes. I show up early to Math because I know it was going to be crowded. I get a good seat in the front(teachers eyecandy) and get my stuff out...Im ready to learn some stuff. In walks this blind guy with his dog. He is completely blind. Well the teacher tells me to get up because he needs to sit in the front. So I ask "What for? Hes blind does it matter where he sits?" The whole class gasps out loud. She says he needs to sit close so he can hear. So hes blind and deaf. So I get up and have to sit in the very back corner surrounded by 2 fat chicks. They both smell like ash trays and now I can barely see or hear anything. WTF
This guy could be in the closet with a speaker and he wouldn't know the difference. And dont give me the emergency exit excuse as he walked passed several seats that were much closer to the door and the front than my seat. |

What the hell is wrong with you people? You come to GD, where it's ok to be a dick, then go out into the real world and think it's still socially acceptable to be a dick. You need a better handle on the concept of reality and proper manners in social situations. There's got to be a psychology term for this. You were in the military and you can't handle one class in the back of the room? Stop whining, deal with it for one day, and next class sit in the second row. |

If I'm in a restaurant waiting to be seated and an old lady walks in, damnit I'm standing up and offering her my seat, not sitting there grumbling "I don't owe her anything" to myself. |
| I lol'd and I'm surprised nobody in your class laughed either. I don't see anything wrong with what you did; it doesn't matter where the guy sits he's probably got better hearing than you. If he was in crutches it'd be a different story but fuck that. Just hope you didn't make an impression in the teachers head or you've already failed the course. |

So an engineer, a lawyer and a doctor are all playing golf together one day when they find themselves stuck behind a terribly slow group of golfers. They see the groundskeeper and ask him, "Hey, what's the deal with these guys? Why are they so slow?"
The groundskeeper says, "Oh, well... those are three firefighters who were battling a blaze we had at the clubhouse a few years ago. They saved a bunch of kids who were there for a birthday party, but they lost their sight in the fire. So in return, we let them play whenever they want." The lawyer says, "That's just terrible. I'll have my friend, a world-famous trial lawyer, see if he can sue the manufacturer of those masks." The doctor says, "That's just terrible. I'll have my friend, a world-famous opthamologist, try an experimental procedure to see if he can restore their sight." The engineer says, "Well, what the fuck? They can't just play at night?!" |

The blind guy, at least from my experience with a blind boss, can hear far better and with more detail than anyone in the class. He MAY be hearing impaired also but who knows. My former, now retired boss, could hear a description of a 30 slide power point deck once, and at the end go back and tell you what page your errors were on and if you described graphics in any manner he would be able to call them out to you even days later. Such as "Remember that red triangle in the bottom left of the flowchart on slide 12, change it to a rectangle and put so-in-so's name on it instead of what you have. It was scary. OTOH, I watched his dog walk him right into a wall corner and split his forehead open one time, happened so fast no one could say anything. He was the smartest and best boss I've ever had or possibly ever will have. Point in telling you this, he would have told the teacher to pay no attention or give any exceptions or special treatment for him, he only held airlines to that  . |

Im usually the guy who gets pissed at things others do and I know that what I did was kind of dickish but cmon! Im sure this guy knows he needs to sit in the front. Dont walk into a movie theater late and expect to get a good seat. You get what you can get and that guy could have easily came early to get his front seat. Why would he though, he knows hes going to get that seat regardless. I don't have a problem with giving up my seat unless I made an effort to get there early knowing I may not have a seat.. Last class 2 students had to stand....WTF is up with that.
I met the guy his name is Mike. Hes pretty cool. He has been blind all his life and likes to shoot guns. I thought about inviting him to our next shoot but he did steal my seat! |

As and engineer, I love that joke. Quoted: So an engineer, a lawyer and a doctor are all playing golf together one day when they find themselves stuck behind a terribly slow group of golfers.

I guess maybe that blind guy should try to get his dog to walk up the stairs and then walk down the row and find an empty seat?
You know as a blind guy, he is entitled to use the handicapped spots at the front of the store even though his legs work. I thought chivalry was still alive and well at ARFCOM..

I thought about inviting him to our next shoot but he did steal my seat! He probably has to drive fairly slow to get there, not his fault. |

Then dont stand outside smoking a cig...go to class to get a good seat! |

So what, the mother fucker is blind. He can walk up all the steps to the back row. What are his damn feet broken too??? Some fucking people think they deserve a little special care because they have a little problem.
OP you should have slapped the shit out of him too. Maybe kick him around to show him who is boss. Shoot the dog. Why can't you bring your dog to school? /sarcasm |

Put a blindfold on right when you wake up this Saturday. Try to make it through two or three hours. When you do finally take it off, think of your fellow classmate... And be thankful. And respectful. And compassionate. And then on Monday, apologize. To the entire class. Fuck.  |

I already apologized to Mike and he had no problem with it. As far as the class goes...fkemmm. He said he would rather sit in the back that way hes not holding people up who are trying to get out. Hes in my History class also and we sit next to each other. His dog smells like ass though. I guess I shouldn't tell him that because, you know hes blind and shit. Oh and by the way we sit no were near the front. |

Common courtesy, like common sense isn't so common anymore.

So if he is Deaf and Blind . Set him up a desk in front of front row. By the way ,
How the heck is he going to take the exams? How will he know even if his pencil is leaving marks? If he makes an error where is he going to erase? Do you tap out test questions on his shoulder in Morse Code? |
