Every year I have to go for a routine eye exam. Not a big deal, I've been a patient there for years and the office staff is pretty much the same. I am a long cane user (especially if I don't bring a set of eyes with me), and tend to have it with me since that office can be crowded. So, every year without fail this is how it goes:
I wobble in with 'Toby' (my cane) and go to the window.
Me: 'I'm here to see Dr.Eyeballs for whatever-o'clock'.
Window Lady: 'Ok. Here's some paperwork'.
Me: 'I can't fill that out myself. I can wait until you're not busy'.
WL: 'Why can't you fill it out?'
Me: 'Because I'm blind'.
I have the same exchange every year, and that same lady is always there. Granted, I'm not completely blind. But I had Toby with me and he's hard to miss!
Arg! Oh, well...
