blind
everyday on my way to the gym i pass by a residence (i think) for the blind on 23rd between 6th and 7th ave. well yesterday as i was walking by the main entrance, a man who drives a van for the blind walked over to the main door, asked the blind guy who was standing there if he was so-and-so and told him he was there to pick him up.
the blind man casually (and not jokingly) said in no particular direction, “i was waiting for another guy, but i don’t see him.”
when i heard this i of course did a 180 and looked to see if they were going to laugh or something. no. the blind man was being serious. who says that!
also check out: future relic -- a t-shirt company my friend owns. good stuff.

Too funny-I heard something very similar over the weekend and turned around to do a double take and started laughing to myself after it transpired.
There was a blind woman who was being directed to her table near our's at a restaurant on Saturday night. As she walked past one table, someone said "Hello, Mrs So&So". She turned towards the voice and said "Wow, name, I haven't seen you in a long time" and then their conversation proceeded on. I was waiting for someone to catch on to the "I haven't seen you..." but no one flinched when she said that...
I had a very similar experience this past weekend. I was in a restaurant-a blind woman was being escorted to her table. On the way there, someone seated, said "Hi Mrs. So&So". The blind woman turned in the direction of the voice and said "Oh, Name, I haven't seen you in awhile, how are you?". I was waiting for someone to start laughing (as I was at the irony) but the conversation just proceeded and the woman walked off to her table...
