I'm half blind and that mother with her child can face a lawsuit from both the store along with the fully blind woman for taking her cane. That is considered abuse of the disabled.
If I was blind and had only been blind for a short time like the woman in the first story and I got into a similar situation I'd probably react similarly to her. If I were blind, it'd be extremely distressing to have the very important tool for navigating the world taken away
That man built like a tank, he's an absolute freaking gigachad in both body and mind. What a legend. And that second story? Chef's kiss! How wholesome ♪
I'm neither a tank nor a gigachad, but I'm pretty sure I'd be doing exactly the same thing in that situation anyway (TBH, even before it got to the point where the guy appeared, what was going through my head as I was listening to this was basically "Are you OK? Don't worry, you're safe, and you'll be fine right where you are. Please wait here a moment and I'll be right back with your cane."). I think the only difference is I would have probably also been saying "Can somebody please call the police?" as well. Just seems like the obviously right thing to do, to be honest. It is always reassuring to hear that what _should_ happen was also what actually _did_ happen, though.
That second story doesn't need retribution, if anything I prefer that ending much better. The so-called entitled mother wasn't even all that entitled. Like the OP said, she was scared and worried for her son. I think she was actually a good mother to care so much, and even willing to calm down from her panic and come to an agreement with OP that might even help her son even more. And I do hope that both her and her son get away from that drunken bastard.
That's exactly what I was thinking too. Hopefully, if they work together, then can start getting things moving in a better direction for the not actually entitled mother.
I hate correcting others comments because my grammar sucks but...

Becoming blind is no fun, i work in a nursing home where theres a blind old lady, she's super nice but she spends most of her time alone yelling cause she's afraid she has been abandoned in an unknown place
the story with the blind girl is crazy . being disabled myself i think anyone that takes something from a disabled person or is seen bulling a disabled person should be banned from the location the bulling took place . there is no excuse for healthy people to pick on others that are not as free to get around .
Bad behaviour that's so outrageous that you want to ban someone isn't solved by banning them from one location. Such people need to be shunt by society. Name and Shame should be applied. Because otherwise, they'll simply continue behaving like this in another place.

I'm glad you chose to include that second story here, and it's a bit sad to me that she felt she needed to apologize for not having "retribution", as if that's a bad thing. That was a far better ending, IMHO, and it's worth being reminded that sometimes these sorts of bad behaviors can just be symptoms of much bigger problems, and sometimes being sympathetic and understanding can go a lot further and be a lot better for everyone than mindlessly escalating conflict. I have to admit she was still far far better at it than I probably would have been, though. That woman is truly somebody to aspire to.
I would say that the second story was resolved in the most mature and empathetic way possible, I'm honestly impressed, maybe with a friend to talk to they might be able to resolve the issues with their husband or divorce him for the sake of making a more healthy family life with their kids
@@UNSCPILOT the mother had probably heard a bunch of stories from the BF, so probably already understood what the BF's mom was going through. Still though, props to OP for resolving the issue in a way that benefits everyone
I am legally blind. I am totally blind in one eye. The other I can see clearly to the end of my nose. After that everything is a multi coloured moving blur. I use a cane. I have been blind from birth and I am now 62. I'm pretty good at getting around. A few months back I was in a Airport. When I end up in a crowd of people the best and safest thing for me to do is to stay still. On this day that is what I did. The next thing I know a loud voice is screaming at me. Calling me a old white privileged bitch and a lot more. I better get out of their way or. From behind me came a very very deep voice. Or what? No answer from the voice infront. Deep voice, this lady is blind and you need to say sorry. Which was done fast. My guardian angel stayed with me until my plane left. He never told me his name. I asked several times. What I can tell you is his blur was really really big and I have never felt so safe. Thank you young man for helping this old blind woman. You are for ever in my prayers. God bless you.
I am blind and I would just like to tell you guys there are screen reading software. Like for example there’s s software on the iPhone called voiceover and what that allows me to do is type and read things to me. Computers also have them like one it’s called Jaws and another one is NVDA and what that lets you do is use The computer without a mouse. There are a lot of key commands and justers on the iPhone that we use to navigate A phone or computer.
With the blind woman in the first story her husband could’ve also typed it out for her. I’m sure if she was pretending to be blind and had no glasses you would’ve seen her eyes looking around too for when she was talking to EM and her son.
Even if you aren't blind, you can learn to type without looking at the keyboard at all as it is quicker, i don't get why people were doubting her when it's not something uncommon
@@____-pb1lg I think that's exactly how she typed with the screen reader on (yes, OSs have had 'em by default for years). I use the default magnifier(s) myself... I only have the screen reader activated on a smart TV that was handed down to me because I didn't want to stay close to the screen just to read some menu options
I think that Tommy was just caught in the crossfire of a bad situation and due to not having control over her life this ended up being mirrored by the mother. OP being understanding and offering a olive branch gave her a healthy out.
Wasn't straight up taking away someone's belong considered as theft? I'm surprised that the OP in the first story didn't sue the crap out of that entitled mother and strip her child away from her.
It's a lot more than just theft. Criminal assault. Hard to prosecute though, as she doesn't have much identifying information about the EM other than her screeching voice, but if there was a camera on them while it happened, and with the help of the store, the OP could have. I'd imagine she was just, too overwhelmed and stressed / traumatized by the incident to pursue any legal retribution.
@Joshua Stanton they are settings that allow disabled people to use their devices like a screen magnifier for blind/visually impaired people or closed captions for the hearing impaired. You can find them usually all the way on the bottom of general settings for Android.
@Joshua Stanton You've never got nosy and poked around on a computer or any device? Or maybe you've just never needed them, lucky you. Microsoft Sam, we all know that voice, likely was one of the first digital ones.
Man some people are dumb. Never heard of adaptive technology or the accessibility settings on phones. As a legally blind person I find it hilarious when I tell people that I'm studying to get my bachelor's in microbiology. Like they can't believe there's a microscope out there that plugs into a computer and shit and shows you what's there on a giant screen.
Going blind is honestly the scariest thing to me like I honestly can't imagine thankfully she is married like if she was alone that transition would of been a million times worse. Thank you awesome man! The 2nd one was handled extremely well
I can not believe how some people can treat others like they do. The Blind woman needed the Cane, and weather or not the Entitled mother knew she was Blind or not, she had absolutely ZERO right to take the Cane(or in this case let her child take it) Because it was not Hers to take. People like that are the reason I hate to go out, but on the other hand, the guy that helped her and got her Cane Back is a Hero. I do not care how he cane her cane back for her, but it doesn't matter. Only because Karma had taken it's course.
Im a plumber and had a boiler job where I was allowed to keep the scrap copper from the old system which ended up being about $2500 . I pulled up to a local scrap yard and I could tell the owner was excited to see all the copper ,he had just took over the business from the gentleman that I had dealt with for years. I am in the middle of unloadingth scrap into drums to be weighed when this old man probablyin his late 80'shad pulled up and started to unload little grocery bags with crushed cans ,the new owner sees the crushed cans and begins screaming angrily at the old man for bringingcrushed cans ,and how he won't be cheated by the old man hiding rocks in them ,the poor old guy looks terrified and drops his bag of cans as this guy scream. As this is happeningin a matter of 30 secondsor so I decided to grab my scrap and I dump the barrel in the bead of the truck with a loud crash startling both men. The owner comes over and asks me what I'm doing also I am considerably larger than the owner who was just a second using his size to intimidate a old man so I step up in front of him and say that he has just lost my business and that of anyone I know for how he treated this old man .the owner storms off mumbling as I help the old man pick up his bags an I offer to give him 20$ for his cans which was probably 15 more than there worth ,he happily accepts and helps me put them in my truck. he then thanks me for helping him as he sees the scrap yard owner looking at him with daggers out the window ,in a straight up clint east wood move he flips him off and spits on the ground as he gets in his car to leave. Please remember to treat people with respect and if your able to help someone in need to do it without hesitation.
The second person in that story handled that very well. She took the information she knew from her daughters boyfriend, and put the pieces of the puzzle together. I hope the mother of the boyfriend is doing well. :)
Both stories but especially The second story displays a truly kind person who cares about others even if they are being jerks because you never know what is going on behind the scenes.
I knew someone that had that parasite but it only went to one eye, and gradually over time she got accustomed to it eating away at her cornea. So much so she didn't notice until one day her mom was talking to her from her blind side and noticed her daughter wasn't tracking what she was doing so they went to an eye doctor and found out that she had become completely blind in that eye.... she didn't even realize it. Now If her not realizing it was true idk, she was a really could volley ball player and I think she was trying not to ruin an opportunity to get a scholarship so she never reported it... (what about physicals... well she was homeschooled so the association she participated in for volley ball didn't require a physical, so that's how she got around it)
I can explain since my bad eye turned completely blind recently, but it never worked better than 0,5/10(1/20). When one of your eyes doesn't work properly, your brain stops processing the data it's sending, which means you only see through your good eye and you actually have to make a deliberate choice to watch through the bad one. I can't pinpoint the exact moment when my almost blind eye went fully blind, either, because I hardly ever bother with it... unless I have to put eyedrops in it - not by watching (I've always used touch to know where the bottle is)
Me and the entitled mother would have been throwing hands because I absolutely hate people who take things from people when they very clearly need them. steal a blind person’s cane in my presence catch these hands
The first story made me really tear up. It's not like I don't know but it still astonishes me just how downright HORRIBLE some people can be and they even have offspring that might catch their frigged up behaviour. Fortunately enough, it did end well. Hope she filed a lawsuit against that abomination of a person.
A little additional advice for awesome people who take the time to help a blind person in public: vocally announce yourself before doing anything. It worked out well in this case, but a sudden hand on the shoulder can be very scary, intimidating and invasive for anyone, let alone a blind person in trouble.
I feel her pain I am completely blind in my left eye and can't see properly without special glasses In my right eye and not at all outside with outthem
In the curfew story, I think that mother was amazing! Not only is she raising her kids to be responsible adults, she is willing to help someone obviously in need of a friend. Kudos!!!
Actually people that are blind also can remember which keys to type or memorize them, hopefully there is not to much people like the mother who was mean
Honestly, anyone who’s used to typing on a keyboard knows where all the keys are without having to look. I can write paragraphs of text with my eyes closed if I wanted to and have actually done it from time to time at work when I want to rest my eyes from staring at a screen all day.
The Karen stealing the cane just boils my blood. Even if someone had been "pretending" they have no right to steal other people's property. I would have gone full on Mega Karen on the Karen and made her pay for every ding her child made into that cane. Tryst me, my Karen pterodactyl screech is shrill enough to break glass.
That first story makes my heart bleed, she's given her time to help others and gotten blind because of it. Then has no help or financial support from her government to get her though. I will happily buy her a set of $200 glasses. Because she deserves them
I appreciate the gesture luv, but someone already got me the glasses from Two Blind Brothers. I'm so happy to hear so much support and positivity because of my story. Hopefully I've touched enough people to change the way the world thinks about blindness.
Omg.. i actually cried with that story.. how can someone be that... I don't even know how to finish that sentence... My lord.. thank God that good man was there...
I have to comment on the last story of the boyfriend feeling safer at his girlfriend's house. It reminded me of when my son was in high school. To set this up properly a little background. My husband was disabled and I had recently been injured on the job (which turned out to leave me permanently disabled as well). We didn't have much and were, quite simply, POOR. We lived in an old mobile home in back of a friend's parents house. One of my son's best friends came from a very wealthy home, but a very controlling unhappy home. He and his father would get in these horrific fights and the son would sneak out after a blow up with his dad and walk the 5 miles to our place in the middle of the night. After we realized what was happening we told him that he was always welcome, but he needed to call his dad when he showed up at our house and let his dad know where he was. After several weeks of this my husband got a call from the boy's father demanding to know what we were doing/telling his son. My husband invited the boy's father over to talk with us. You could see the shock on the man's face when he arrived. Personally, I don't think he had ever been in a mobile home before, especially a very old one. We explained to the man that when his son showed up in the middle of the night we would not turn him away, but we always told him he needed to contact his dad & do what his dad wanted. Afterall it was his dad. My husband said he understood that things were unstable at their house and that we understood. Not everything in life runs smoothly. But we told him that we had made the rule that when his son showed up, our son was to come wake us up & let us know he was there. We said we made sure he had a place to sleep and that he got to school the next day. We asked what else could we do to make the man's worry better and he asked if we would call him when his son showed up so he would know he was somewhere safe. I think he thought we were trying to 'steal' his son away from him. But in fact, we were always telling the boy he should listen to his dad. In the beginning, when my husband 1st invited the man over it was out of fear that this man might call the cops on us. And you never know how that will turn out, especially when dealing with someone who comes from money and has a lot of 'connections'. But mostly we just wanted to assure the man that his son was safe at our house. When he left he thanked us for taking the time to talk to him and for making sure his son was safe. I'm just thankful we were able to provide my son's friend with a stable environment. 20+ yrs later and my son & his friend are both grown men now. But his friend still stays in contact with me and calls me his 'momma'.
The mother of the second story is strong and wise enough to know that people are going throught things and u acnt get mad over circumstances u dont know
That first story actually made me cry a bit that was horrible also changing the subject kinda im glad they explained how she is typing while being blind because i was curios about that too and that 2nd story was so wonderful
The first story really hits home, I have very poor eyesight, I'm not blind in anyway yet just I can't do anything without my glasses but walk, and it's hasn't really stopped from getting worse. There's the chance that I could become legally blind, so seeing that op and knowing so many others have to go through that really makes me mad. I'm glad the guy was there and helped out. It honestly makes me have faith if I do become legally blind that I'll be able find some amazing people if I need any help.
I am legally blind (still have some sight but am considered blind under the federal legal statutes) and use a white support cane when I'm out because I also have trouble with my knee. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been called out on "faking" my disability. Fortunately, the state commission for the blind for my state has been very supportive and provides me with the things I need to be able to fully navigate life. Sadly things like what OP had to deal with are FAR FAR too common. Hell, my neighbor from hell on a weekly basis harasses me as a "fraud" because I'm awful independent for a blind individual. Blind doesn't have to mean helpless, and I truly hope that, with time, OP becomes comfortable enough and gets the support she needs to be able to be more independent. But it is certainly rough to deal with the Karens.
i had histoplasmosis. thankfully it didnt migrate to my eyes. it was on my lungs making it hard to breath thought it was pleurisy but it kept getting worse until i couldnt sleep cause of the pain. having gotten it once i told i could get it again. so i try to stay away from areas with a lot of birds.
Blind people don't need sunglasses like we do like why protect vision you don't have. Sunglasses are more for light sensitivity like my blindness now op may want a specific pair but we don't need fancy sunglasses I'm sure her family can pick out a good pair that aren't as expensive it does help subconsciously to tell others you really are blind. Even though the cane is far more likely to be only used by the blind. Now I'm on the edge and personally avoiding the cane I have one I'm loosening focus so never will go 100% dark just 100%out of focus x fingers nothing else goes down with my eyes. Ablists do majorly suck.
I looooove that the mom in the second story offered her support!!! A lot of times the person being a jerk is dealing with a life situation that you know nothing about. Great kindness shown here for a change!! 🥰
That woman who got her cane stolen probably had the best first experience you can have. Everything she feared came to pass, and it turned out fine. I hope this becomes a memory of triumph and kindness rather than a memory of evil and pain.
For the first story i can kinda agree that being blind is not fun, i may not be blind but when i was in the second grade the teachers got together and decided to teach us second graders how it would be like to be blind so if we saw a blind person, we would kinda know what it would be like. I had a lot of difficulty getting around blindfolded and trying with the blind cane. Even the special letters was hard to understand. But i can understand on how AG reacted with that woman and her child taking the cane as blind people need it to get around. So the AG is not the jerk and the entitled mother and devil kid were in no right of doing what they did.
by listening to first story i could feel her panic. I am totally NOT blind, but my class went on a trip to a "dark place" - a place that is menaged by blind people, that is supposed to show others how their life looks like, by leading groups of people into some completely dark rooms that imitate home, shop, bus and other places. I got lost there by accident and really didn't know what to do. I had no idea in what room i am and how i could get back to my group, so i started panicking. Ik, that it probably is nothing compared to op's story, but it still really allowed me to feel her more
The story of the blind person having their can stolen reminded me of an incident in my childhood. When I was around seven to nine I developed cateracts. Because of the cateracts I had surgeries where they had to remove the lenses in my eyes to get rid of the cateracts. This meant I was considered legally blind. I had bottle thick glasses so I could see. However, I couldn't see very well in the dark. So the incident happened when we had friends visiting and decided to go to Salem to see the things about the witch trials. After a mock courtroom, we went to the next section. unfortunately we had to go downstairs in very dim lighting. I think my mom was helping me as I tested every step with my foot before I stepped down. Some one behind us asked, I think sarcastically, "What is she blind?" Then my mom turned around and said "Yes, she is.". I don't remember what happened after that. But to this day I still have trouble seeing in dim light.
Wow... That second story I don't think I've ever heard a story where the Entitled Parents actually turns around and looks for help... It really puts into perspective even people who seem nasty on the surface might just be scared and alone...
The first story, I worry about being blind a lot because my vision just pretty much gets worse and worse every year and have had glasses since kindergarten. It upsets me to hear that people would believe someone is faking being blind to that degree.
I happen to be blind and I speak from experience when I say that people can be cruel! For those of you who do not know there are a wide variety of technology and apps and programs that allow a blind person to do many things that might seem impossible for a sighted person to wrap their minds around. Sure as a blind person we have certain things that we may not be able to do due to lack of vision however don't ever simply assume that a blind or otherwise disabled person is not capable of typing. We can do anything that we set our minds to. We will ask for help if we need it. It was wrong of that other woman to take that canwe. How would à sighted person feel if their independence was stolen from them? I dare any sighted person to spend a week in the shoes of a blind person! They wouldn't last one day.
As an aspiring IT profession they educate you in college about features on computers that are intended to help people with disabilities use a computer. It's usually under accessibility settings.

Awesome guy helping blind lady. Is like to smack that mom with the cane! Wretched woman. Sweet mom calming Tommy’s mom down and helping her cope with life. 💖 Love these stories.
I'm extremely physically disabled and I don't look like it most of the time. In fact, unless you see me at home, where I'm basically bedridden, it's even harder to see. What little bit I do get out, I have to be careful not to waste my time and energy. I smile, laugh, and prefer not to show how vulnerable I am. I have had people, all the time, accusing me of not being that bad off! I was a hyper active workaholic before I got sick, and a control freak, who'd rather do it myself than count on anyone else. It cuts deep, for people, especially if they're friends and family, to treat me in this cruel manner. I feel for anyone who is disabled and not believed or understood.
as I wafted the story of the second mother I'm just shocked she calmed a angry mother done helped her know that her son was safe and made her feel better
This was my first time really thinking about blindness in depth and it was be so scary…one depends on their eyes for practically anything and everything and to suddenly lose them must be such a blow to anyone 😪
that last one I would say was the best case, both sides talked and the mother ends up helping someone who, something most of us forgets sometimes, is human and is genuinely scared and alone. Theres times for yelling and theres times for empathy, its best to know when to apply which
the last story is very wholesome that made me cry. Hopefully, there are people like her that will teach her kids how to be responsible in early age being adults.
I'm fortunately not blind, but I was about to be. I was in grave state of miopia that almost made me completely blind. I couldn't see well even 5 inches of dinstance between my face and an object. I went to a doctor who suggested me to go through a surgery when they put special lenses into my pupils for correct my sight. The surgery went well and now I can see without the need of my glasses. But as I'm trying to say, I pretty much would cry too, if someone took off my glasses and called me a liar about my bad sight and leaving me in an extremely blurry world where I can't read signs nor recognize people's faces.
Gigachad who helps the blind woman is amazing. But as a new parent who grew up with horrible parenting, I look up to the supermom in the second story. I hope I can raise my kids like that.
That heavily built man is such an angel. Among all of the people there he was the first to help a blind woman. Not only that, not even the Karen dare to scream and put on a fight when he took away the cane.
People actually question if she's blind cuz she's typing... like her husband could've also been typing for her while she relates the story sooooo.... that's also an option if she wasn't using screen reader, cmon guys...
I really don't understand why 19 yo "Tommy" even had a curfew. He's legally an adult. I was already a year into the army at his age, working, paying bills, and doing everything on my own with no family around as a safety net if I screwed up things for myself. The strength and control that mother showed, however, I wish could be taught in schools. Major props to her.
I feel bad for the person in the first story but luckily there was a gigachad. Also I find the second one really wholesome. Sometimes people act entitled because they are scared, and they don't know what to do, but its really nice that the mom helped her.
The man who helped the blind person is like the most alpha gigachad person ever

That second story doesn't need retribution, if anything I prefer that ending much better. The so-called entitled mother wasn't even all that entitled.

I think she was actually a good mother to care so much, and even willing to calm down from her panic and come to an agreement with OP that might even help her son even more. And I do hope that both her and her son get away from that drunken bastard.
im just hoping she leaves her partner so it wont damage her son more than it already has.
That's exactly what I was thinking too. Hopefully, if they work together, then can start getting things moving in a better direction for the not actually entitled mother.

I am legally blind. I am totally blind in one eye. The other I can see clearly to the end of my nose. After that everything is a multi coloured moving blur. I use a cane. I have been blind from birth and I am now 62. I'm pretty good at getting around. A few months back I was in a Airport. When I end up in a crowd of people the best and safest thing for me to do is to stay still. On this day that is what I did. The next thing I know a loud voice is screaming at me. Calling me a old white privileged bitch and a lot more. I better get out of their way or. From behind me came a very very deep voice. Or what? No answer from the voice infront. Deep voice, this lady is blind and you need to say sorry. Which was done fast. My guardian angel stayed with me until my plane left. He never told me his name. I asked several times. What I can tell you is his blur was really really big and I have never felt so safe. Thank you young man for helping this old blind woman. You are for ever in my prayers. God bless you.
"His blur was really big and I have never felt so safe." Made me actually start crying. What a sweet person.
How did you write this?
@@madetomakeit4490 Did you watch the video?
@@madetomakeit4490 obviously you can't read!
absolute chad helps old, blind lady
I cant believe that the Karen would go as far as taking her cane plus the child went along with it 😭
that child gonna thinks its right to take blind/old people cane and become a mini karen, also that is theif and she can sue the mother
Chad's going to grow up with f*** mentality
Karen is species is DEVIL
how do such poeple exist idk how they exist i just gotta understand how to deal with them not just me but everyone
if you can't believe this, you might die from shock when you came to learn more horrible things that's been going on around you.
I am blind and I would just like to tell you guys there are screen reading software. Like for example there’s s software on the iPhone called voiceover and what that allows me to do is type and read things to me. Computers also have them like one it’s called Jaws and another one is NVDA and what that lets you do is use The computer without a mouse. There are a lot of key commands and justers on the iPhone that we use to navigate A phone or computer.
Thats really cool thanks for sharing.
Thanks I will give this a shot if I go blind
That's good
With the blind woman in the first story her husband could’ve also typed it out for her. I’m sure if she was pretending to be blind and had no glasses you would’ve seen her eyes looking around too for when she was talking to EM and her son.
By choosing a youtube name, you're welcome.
Even if you aren't blind, you can learn to type without looking at the keyboard at all as it is quicker, i don't get why people were doubting her when it's not something uncommon
yes, husbands are nice.
@@____-pb1lg I think that's exactly how she typed with the screen reader on (yes, OSs have had 'em by default for years). I use the default magnifier(s) myself... I only have the screen reader activated on a smart TV that was handed down to me because I didn't want to stay close to the screen just to read some menu options
There are also programs that write what you dictate to them.
That guy who got the cane back is an absolute hero. That's so enraging that a mother would let her kid take someone's cane. That's sick.
The Karen doesn't deserve to have a child!😡
I think that Tommy was just caught in the crossfire of a bad situation and due to not having control over her life this ended up being mirrored by the mother. OP being understanding and offering a olive branch gave her a healthy out.
the second story's OP is a good person
Wasn't straight up taking away someone's belong considered as theft? I'm surprised that the OP in the first story didn't sue the crap out of that entitled mother and strip her child away from her.
In all U.S. States it is a serious crime, particularly if they take something a disabled person is dependent on.
It's a lot more than just theft. Criminal assault. Hard to prosecute though, as she doesn't have much identifying information about the EM other than her screeching voice, but if there was a camera on them while it happened, and with the help of the store, the OP could have.
I'd imagine she was just, too overwhelmed and stressed / traumatized by the incident to pursue any legal retribution.
If in the US, ADA is also involved. That cane is a piece of medical equipment, and theft of that is treated much more harshly than simple theft.
The first story: you can't be blind if you don't have sunglasses.
Toph, looking at where she thinks the EM is: and I took that personally.
Is like saying
You can't have ADHD You arent hyperactive
Its stupid to Say such things with any condition
Love Toph
5:58 have people never heard of this thing called "ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS" such as the listed "screen narrator"
@Joshua Stanton they are settings that allow disabled people to use their devices like a screen magnifier for blind/visually impaired people or closed captions for the hearing impaired. You can find them usually all the way on the bottom of general settings for Android.
@Joshua Stanton You've never got nosy and poked around on a computer or any device?
Or maybe you've just never needed them, lucky you. Microsoft Sam, we all know that voice, likely was one of the first digital ones.
Man some people are dumb. Never heard of adaptive technology or the accessibility settings on phones. As a legally blind person I find it hilarious when I tell people that I'm studying to get my bachelor's in microbiology. Like they can't believe there's a microscope out there that plugs into a computer and shit and shows you what's there on a giant screen.
Going blind is honestly the scariest thing to me like I honestly can't imagine thankfully she is married like if she was alone that transition would of been a million times worse. Thank you awesome man!
The 2nd one was handled extremely well
I dont think I have seen blind ppl with sunglasses that often tbh, usually a cane is the primary signal
For the first story when she gets mad I just imagine her yelling at a pole because she doesn't see
I can not believe how some people can treat others like they do. The Blind woman needed the Cane, and weather or not the Entitled mother knew she was Blind or not, she had absolutely ZERO right to take the Cane(or in this case let her child take it) Because it was not Hers to take. People like that are the reason I hate to go out, but on the other hand, the guy that helped her and got her Cane Back is a Hero. I do not care how he cane her cane back for her, but it doesn't matter. Only because Karma had taken it's course.
The guy that helped her, shows the best side of humanity, the entitled lady shows some of the worst. We need more of the best side.
Im a plumber and had a boiler job where I was allowed to keep the scrap copper from the old system which ended up being about $2500 . I pulled up to a local scrap yard and I could tell the owner was excited to see all the copper ,he had just took over the business from the gentleman that I had dealt with for years. I am in the middle of unloadingth scrap into drums to be weighed when this old man probablyin his late 80'shad pulled up and started to unload little grocery bags with crushed cans ,the new owner sees the crushed cans and begins screaming angrily at the old man for bringingcrushed cans ,and how he won't be cheated by the old man hiding rocks in them ,the poor old guy looks terrified and drops his bag of cans as this guy scream. As this is happeningin a matter of 30 secondsor so I decided to grab my scrap and I dump the barrel in the bead of the truck with a loud crash startling both men. The owner comes over and asks me what I'm doing also I am considerably larger than the owner who was just a second using his size to intimidate a old man so I step up in front of him and say that he has just lost my business and that of anyone I know for how he treated this old man .the owner storms off mumbling as I help the old man pick up his bags an I offer to give him 20$ for his cans which was probably 15 more than there worth ,he happily accepts and helps me put them in my truck. he then thanks me for helping him as he sees the scrap yard owner looking at him with daggers out the window ,in a straight up clint east wood move he flips him off and spits on the ground as he gets in his car to leave. Please remember to treat people with respect and if your able to help someone in need to do it without hesitation.
I love the way OP handles Tommys mother. She became a friend rather than an enemy.
The second person in that story handled that very well. She took the information she knew from her daughters boyfriend, and put the pieces of the puzzle together. I hope the mother of the boyfriend is doing well. :)
The First story is just wholesome in some way, i can just imagine a roughly a 187cm man whacking the kids hand for the narrators cane.
Both stories but especially The second story displays a truly kind person who cares about others even if they are being jerks because you never know what is going on behind the scenes.
I knew someone that had that parasite but it only went to one eye, and gradually over time she got accustomed to it eating away at her cornea. So much so she didn't notice until one day her mom was talking to her from her blind side and noticed her daughter wasn't tracking what she was doing so they went to an eye doctor and found out that she had become completely blind in that eye.... she didn't even realize it. Now If her not realizing it was true idk, she was a really could volley ball player and I think she was trying not to ruin an opportunity to get a scholarship so she never reported it... (what about physicals... well she was homeschooled so the association she participated in for volley ball didn't require a physical, so that's how she got around it)
I can explain since my bad eye turned completely blind recently, but it never worked better than 0,5/10(1/20).
When one of your eyes doesn't work properly, your brain stops processing the data it's sending, which means you only see through your good eye and you actually have to make a deliberate choice to watch through the bad one. I can't pinpoint the exact moment when my almost blind eye went fully blind, either, because I hardly ever bother with it... unless I have to put eyedrops in it - not by watching (I've always used touch to know where the bottle is)
Me and the entitled mother would have been throwing hands because I absolutely hate people who take things from people when they very clearly need them. steal a blind person’s cane in my presence catch these hands
The first story made me really tear up. It's not like I don't know but it still astonishes me just how downright HORRIBLE some people can be and they even have offspring that might catch their frigged up behaviour.
Fortunately enough, it did end well. Hope she filed a lawsuit against that abomination of a person.
A little additional advice for awesome people who take the time to help a blind person in public: vocally announce yourself before doing anything. It worked out well in this case, but a sudden hand on the shoulder can be very scary, intimidating and invasive for anyone, let alone a blind person in trouble.
I feel her pain I am completely blind in my left eye and can't see properly without special glasses In my right eye and not at all outside with outthem
In the curfew story, I think that mother was amazing! Not only is she raising her kids to be responsible adults, she is willing to help someone obviously in need of a friend. Kudos!!!
Actually people that are blind also can remember which keys to type or memorize them, hopefully there is not to much people like the mother who was mean
Honestly, anyone who’s used to typing on a keyboard knows where all the keys are without having to look. I can write paragraphs of text with my eyes closed if I wanted to and have actually done it from time to time at work when I want to rest my eyes from staring at a screen all day.
The Karen stealing the cane just boils my blood. Even if someone had been "pretending" they have no right to steal other people's property. I would have gone full on Mega Karen on the Karen and made her pay for every ding her child made into that cane. Tryst me, my Karen pterodactyl screech is shrill enough to break glass.
That first story made me cry happy tears, and restored my faith in humanity for blind people.
I know right. That mother and child are completely heartless.
The mom in 2nd story is amazing! We need more moms like that!
Empathy goes a long way. Being a hero and giving people support. We need more people like these 2 examples in the world.
That first story makes my heart bleed, she's given her time to help others and gotten blind because of it. Then has no help or financial support from her government to get her though.
I will happily buy her a set of $200 glasses.
Because she deserves them
I appreciate the gesture luv, but someone already got me the glasses from Two Blind Brothers. I'm so happy to hear so much support and positivity because of my story. Hopefully I've touched enough people to change the way the world thinks about blindness.
That first story brought a tear to my eyes, and then a huge smile because of the guy that helped.
Hey man. I love your voices for the entitled people. I'm fully blind, and if anyone messes with me or my cane, it's gonna be their nose. I'm serious.
Omg.. i actually cried with that story.. how can someone be that... I don't even know how to finish that sentence... My lord.. thank God that good man was there...
There are good parents and then there are saintly parents.
I have to comment on the last story of the boyfriend feeling safer at his girlfriend's house. It reminded me of when my son was in high school. To set this up properly a little background. My husband was disabled and I had recently been injured on the job (which turned out to leave me permanently disabled as well). We didn't have much and were, quite simply, POOR. We lived in an old mobile home in back of a friend's parents house. One of my son's best friends came from a very wealthy home, but a very controlling unhappy home. He and his father would get in these horrific fights and the son would sneak out after a blow up with his dad and walk the 5 miles to our place in the middle of the night. After we realized what was happening we told him that he was always welcome, but he needed to call his dad when he showed up at our house and let his dad know where he was. After several weeks of this my husband got a call from the boy's father demanding to know what we were doing/telling his son. My husband invited the boy's father over to talk with us. You could see the shock on the man's face when he arrived. Personally, I don't think he had ever been in a mobile home before, especially a very old one. We explained to the man that when his son showed up in the middle of the night we would not turn him away, but we always told him he needed to contact his dad & do what his dad wanted. Afterall it was his dad. My husband said he understood that things were unstable at their house and that we understood. Not everything in life runs smoothly. But we told him that we had made the rule that when his son showed up, our son was to come wake us up & let us know he was there. We said we made sure he had a place to sleep and that he got to school the next day. We asked what else could we do to make the man's worry better and he asked if we would call him when his son showed up so he would know he was somewhere safe. I think he thought we were trying to 'steal' his son away from him. But in fact, we were always telling the boy he should listen to his dad. In the beginning, when my husband 1st invited the man over it was out of fear that this man might call the cops on us. And you never know how that will turn out, especially when dealing with someone who comes from money and has a lot of 'connections'. But mostly we just wanted to assure the man that his son was safe at our house. When he left he thanked us for taking the time to talk to him and for making sure his son was safe. I'm just thankful we were able to provide my son's friend with a stable environment. 20+ yrs later and my son & his friend are both grown men now. But his friend still stays in contact with me and calls me his 'momma'.
The mother of the second story is strong and wise enough to know that people are going throught things and u acnt get mad over circumstances u dont know
That first story actually made me cry a bit that was horrible also changing the subject kinda im glad they explained how she is typing while being blind because i was curios about that too and that 2nd story was so wonderful
The second story was so wholesome!!!!! I love it so much!
The first story really hits home, I have very poor eyesight, I'm not blind in anyway yet just I can't do anything without my glasses but walk, and it's hasn't really stopped from getting worse. There's the chance that I could become legally blind, so seeing that op and knowing so many others have to go through that really makes me mad. I'm glad the guy was there and helped out. It honestly makes me have faith if I do become legally blind that I'll be able find some amazing people if I need any help.
I am legally blind (still have some sight but am considered blind under the federal legal statutes) and use a white support cane when I'm out because I also have trouble with my knee. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been called out on "faking" my disability. Fortunately, the state commission for the blind for my state has been very supportive and provides me with the things I need to be able to fully navigate life.
Sadly things like what OP had to deal with are FAR FAR too common. Hell, my neighbor from hell on a weekly basis harasses me as a "fraud" because I'm awful independent for a blind individual. Blind doesn't have to mean helpless, and I truly hope that, with time, OP becomes comfortable enough and gets the support she needs to be able to be more independent. But it is certainly rough to deal with the Karens.
story 2 is one off my absolute favorite story's you've ever done. You should do a whole video of one's like that. Wholesome ones
i had histoplasmosis. thankfully it didnt migrate to my eyes. it was on my lungs making it hard to breath thought it was pleurisy but it kept getting worse until i couldnt sleep cause of the pain. having gotten it once i told i could get it again. so i try to stay away from areas with a lot of birds.
The world really needs more good people.
Blind people don't need sunglasses like we do like why protect vision you don't have. Sunglasses are more for light sensitivity like my blindness now op may want a specific pair but we don't need fancy sunglasses I'm sure her family can pick out a good pair that aren't as expensive it does help subconsciously to tell others you really are blind. Even though the cane is far more likely to be only used by the blind.
Now I'm on the edge and personally avoiding the cane I have one I'm loosening focus so never will go 100% dark just 100%out of focus x fingers nothing else goes down with my eyes.
Ablists do majorly suck.
I looooove that the mom in the second story offered her support!!! A lot of times the person being a jerk is dealing with a life situation that you know nothing about. Great kindness shown here for a change!! 🥰
Another way to be blind: your immune system finding out your eyes
My brain: *wait eyes exist* IMMUNE SYSTEM ATTACK!
That woman who got her cane stolen probably had the best first experience you can have. Everything she feared came to pass, and it turned out fine. I hope this becomes a memory of triumph and kindness rather than a memory of evil and pain.
For the first story i can kinda agree that being blind is not fun, i may not be blind but when i was in the second grade the teachers got together and decided to teach us second graders how it would be like to be blind so if we saw a blind person, we would kinda know what it would be like. I had a lot of difficulty getting around blindfolded and trying with the blind cane. Even the special letters was hard to understand. But i can understand on how AG reacted with that woman and her child taking the cane as blind people need it to get around. So the AG is not the jerk and the entitled mother and devil kid were in no right of doing what they did.
The man who helped the blind person is a gigachad and a nice guy
"The awesome guy"
A title well deserved.
by listening to first story i could feel her panic. I am totally NOT blind, but my class went on a trip to a "dark place" - a place that is menaged by blind people, that is supposed to show others how their life looks like, by leading groups of people into some completely dark rooms that imitate home, shop, bus and other places. I got lost there by accident and really didn't know what to do. I had no idea in what room i am and how i could get back to my group, so i started panicking. Ik, that it probably is nothing compared to op's story, but it still really allowed me to feel her more
The story of the blind person having their can stolen reminded me of an incident in my childhood. When I was around seven to nine I developed cateracts. Because of the cateracts I had surgeries where they had to remove the lenses in my eyes to get rid of the cateracts. This meant I was considered legally blind. I had bottle thick glasses so I could see. However, I couldn't see very well in the dark.
So the incident happened when we had friends visiting and decided to go to Salem to see the things about the witch trials. After a mock courtroom, we went to the next section. unfortunately we had to go downstairs in very dim lighting. I think my mom was helping me as I tested every step with my foot before I stepped down. Some one behind us asked, I think sarcastically, "What is she blind?" Then my mom turned around and said "Yes, she is.". I don't remember what happened after that. But to this day I still have trouble seeing in dim light.
im sorry if this is rude to you but
im legally blind
Wow... That second story
I don't think I've ever heard a story where the Entitled Parents actually turns around and looks for help... It really puts into perspective even people who seem nasty on the surface might just be scared and alone...
Yow!!!! The second story made me cry damn... She's an angel
The first story, I worry about being blind a lot because my vision just pretty much gets worse and worse every year and have had glasses since kindergarten. It upsets me to hear that people would believe someone is faking being blind to that degree.
canes are blind? blind is cane now?
I happen to be blind and I speak from experience when I say that people can be cruel! For those of you who do not know there are a wide variety of technology and apps and programs that allow a blind person to do many things that might seem impossible for a sighted person to wrap their minds around. Sure as a blind person we have certain things that we may not be able to do due to lack of vision however don't ever simply assume that a blind or otherwise disabled person is not capable of typing. We can do anything that we set our minds to. We will ask for help if we need it. It was wrong of that other woman to take that canwe. How would à sighted person feel if their independence was stolen from them? I dare any sighted person to spend a week in the shoes of a blind person! They wouldn't last one day.
if i was the person helping i would try my best to get the karen to get to the blind person's shoes somehow
You got any keys on ya?
@@Technical_Espada no but maybe in the future lol
Even if the lady from the first story wasn't blind, the kid was still stealing something worth $100

As an aspiring IT profession they educate you in college about features on computers that are intended to help people with disabilities use a computer. It's usually under accessibility settings. There are indeed tools for computers that assist blind people in using the computer as well as people with color blindness.
I like cheese 🧀
Mmmmm cheese 🧀
Mmmmm 🧀 cheese 🧀
seriously who tf comes in a store with a cane, bumps into things, falls everywhere and isn't actually blind. The karen is blinder than the op
Love the videos, keep up the good work!!
I almost cried from wholesomeness when the gigachad helped her
I mean, it's easy just to use voice to text aswell
Shut
It gets annoying tho
Awesome guy helping blind lady. Is like to smack that mom with the cane! Wretched woman. Sweet mom calming Tommy’s mom down and helping her cope with life. 💖
Love these stories.
Always the good video
I'm extremely physically disabled and I don't look like it most of the time. In fact, unless you see me at home, where I'm basically bedridden, it's even harder to see. What little bit I do get out, I have to be careful not to waste my time and energy. I smile, laugh, and prefer not to show how vulnerable I am. I have had people, all the time, accusing me of not being that bad off! I was a hyper active workaholic before I got sick, and a control freak, who'd rather do it myself than count on anyone else. It cuts deep, for people, especially if they're friends and family, to treat me in this cruel manner. I feel for anyone who is disabled and not believed or understood.
as I wafted the story of the second mother I'm just shocked she calmed a angry mother done helped her know that her son was safe and made her feel better
This was my first time really thinking about blindness in depth and it was be so scary…one depends on their eyes for practically anything and everything and to suddenly lose them must be such a blow to anyone 😪
that last one I would say was the best case, both sides talked and the mother ends up helping someone who, something most of us forgets sometimes, is human and is genuinely scared and alone. Theres times for yelling and theres times for empathy, its best to know when to apply which
It’s really nice that in the second story was just a scared mother and that the op helped her Respect to the op
Who else would rather be blind and deaf so that way you can have intimate conversations with people and truly express your feelings
the last story is very wholesome that made me cry. Hopefully, there are people like her that will teach her kids how to be responsible in early age being adults.
I'm fortunately not blind, but I was about to be. I was in grave state of miopia that almost made me completely blind. I couldn't see well even 5 inches of dinstance between my face and an object. I went to a doctor who suggested me to go through a surgery when they put special lenses into my pupils for correct my sight. The surgery went well and now I can see without the need of my glasses.
But as I'm trying to say, I pretty much would cry too, if someone took off my glasses and called me a liar about my bad sight and leaving me in an extremely blurry world where I can't read signs nor recognize people's faces.
The voices he uses for the entitled people have me Lmao😂😂😂😂😂
The tank gave the entitled mother WAY too much mercy. I might have been on the news with an orange jumpsuit
8:58 that is some amazing a+ voice acting you can totally hear that sounds like she is about to cry and there so much baggage and emotions behind it
Gigachad who helps the blind woman is amazing.
But as a new parent who grew up with horrible parenting, I look up to the supermom in the second story. I hope I can raise my kids like that.
That second story has to be the sweetest one on the channel
Let’s go give the man a reward for helping that 28 year old man ☺️
This guy has so many identities.
that second story pulled on my heartstrings 😭 feel so bad for em
That heavily built man is such an angel. Among all of the people there he was the first to help a blind woman. Not only that, not even the Karen dare to scream and put on a fight when he took away the cane.
People actually question if she's blind cuz she's typing... like her husband could've also been typing for her while she relates the story sooooo.... that's also an option if she wasn't using screen reader, cmon guys...
I really don't understand why 19 yo "Tommy" even had a curfew. He's legally an adult. I was already a year into the army at his age, working, paying bills, and doing everything on my own with no family around as a safety net if I screwed up things for myself. The strength and control that mother showed, however, I wish could be taught in schools. Major props to her.
I feel bad for the person in the first story but luckily there was a gigachad. Also I find the second one really wholesome. Sometimes people act entitled because they are scared, and they don't know what to do, but its really nice that the mom helped her.
