Re: Our most amusing idiotic stories where we screw something up horribl
I think all of us, even sighted ones do have incredible stories, nice conversational topic! I have ones that are family oriented, and others that are just ... well, mostly for adults... But here goes one:
I was at a subway, the sandwich food store chain. This was as part of my mobility training at school I think. I was out with some friends and the teacher. And it was a full house. it was clouded but most people were quiet anyway. Since I was still coming to grips with the English language, my teacher was explaining things and concludes:
So, you understand alright? you have different sizes for the sub you want, and various content, toppings and sauces you can put on your sandwich. And here, in front of you, is a very nice lady who is eagerly listening to your order with a very pleasant smile, so go ahead and tell her what you want.
I noticed that the stand was taller than me, so I reached up a bit and then I remembered all of the stuff my teacher was explaining. So, at that point somehow, my brain got tripped up, confused, short circuited. And then I said rather loudly, can I have a 30 foot sub please.
The lady probably smiled and said, a 30 inch sub for you sir, my pleasure! Some people chuckled, the guy beside me just laughed graciously, and I just burst out in laughter and nodded enthusiastically.
