    I was getting off the bus this morning and saw a blind man who I thought worked in the same building as me. So i started chatting to him and walked him up the road(with him holding my arm).

    So i then proceeded to walk my normal route to work and turned off of talbot st and he just froze and had a look of fear on his face... Turns out he doesnt work in my job at all. He was ok and wanted to get away as quick as possible.

    Anyone else done anything so stupid?

    I bet you feel guilty now...

    The lesson is: never talk to blind people

    I'm sure that he'd rather take his chances that some weirdo trying to lead him astray....

    I suppose I could have brought him with me and promised there would a guide dog for him at the end of it

    Wow, wonder how he found his way back to where he was supposed to be going, he could be still out there,tapping the footpath for familiar bits.

    Did you help him back to where he was supposed to be...? Or did you just run off and leave him there?

    I did much the same thing once. I had to let him go after 3 days because the knocking from the boot of the car was drowning out my Big Tom tape.

    At least you're guaranteed he wont be reliving the trauma of the event by reading about it here!

    On a slight tangent - there was a dude who used to drink in Fibbers in Galway who had no arms. He was a bit of an alco and while walking home one night past a circus, he tried to pet a lion through the bars of its cage, the lion ripped off his arm, at which point he put in his other to retrieve the first only to have that removed as well.

    Anyway when he used to drink in the pub he'd need to go for a slash, the regulars all realised his tactic pretty quickly and used to keep an eye on him, he'd wait until some poor unsuspecting soul wandered into the jacks and follow them in and ask them to lend him a hand...

    My mother picked up a guy from the bus stop who was the image of a guy she knows. Anyway they're driving out the road and all of a sudden he starts saying "I want my mammy"

    Turns out she picked a simple up! She had to drive him back to the bus station mortified! Found it hilarious!

    Don't feel so bad, all blind people look the same.

    See here PC boardsies of the 'Most retarded thing...' thread, "a simple" is worth getting in cahoots about.

    I'm sure you meant a DS lad.

    a load of politically correct people went mad because the word retard was used. a "simple" is probably worse. they might just have a shit fit

    Thats probably the same guy that came up to me in Lidl one day in galway & asked me to bring a flagan of cider to the till for him. After i got it up there he said thats grand cheers......i think he had friends the far side that would help him from there.....but it brought up a load of questions....would they have to lift the bottle to his mouth?! whats happens when he needs to piss?! etc etc. the questions got worse. :)
