Funny at times: I never thought to ask

 

Asking for me, as a vision-impaired person, can be a double-edged sword at the best of times and here is why.

If I ask I need to ensure that it is not going to offend anyone.  Example, if I am unsure of the person’s gender!  More often than not, for some reason I run into circumstances where the voice of the person speaking to me does not tell me their gender and this may be due to the muffled voice under the mask.  

So, when I go to say thank you I need to find a way to say it without saying sir or madam at the end of my sentence.

Then, I once forgot to ask nicely when I needed to have a description of someone.  It would have helped when I  ran into a situation where I was asked to help identify a service desk agent.

Ah, yes!  The joys and challenges of when I forget to ask.
