Failure to Communicate

Comments

You know, even if somebody can see, saying "over there" is a borderline useless direction. I hate that. Glad you are persistent!

[creature_girl08]

LOL! Sorry to laugh but it is nice to know that sighted people have the same problem. Gee!

[baxaphobia]

Oh the famous "over there". hahaha. Nicely done!

[creature_girl08]

I knew this would be perfect for the topic. Now I know I have that post that goes around the net from time to time about over there. I would love to add it to this to give people a good laugh.

Those directions would have been useless even to a sighted person! How inconsiderate.

[creature_girl08]

I have to say it makes me feel good to know that this is frustrating to sighted people. Oh that dreaded "over there".

Even to someone who can see, saying "over there" is useless. When I worked in retail, we were told that we needed to always take the person to what they were looking for, blind or not. So many of the employees never listened anyway and it annoyed me.

Great use of the topic :)

And Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks, I assume emplyees are taught stuff but what ever happens between learning it and actually using what they are taught is a mystery to me. Sigh!

Thanks again for the birthday wishes. Hugs,

mmmm turkey sandwich.

I've gotten better about giving exact directions that don't involve 'over there' because I can't get grumpy at people for not following directions that weren't clear to begin with. It's self serving, but seems to be better for everyone.

I enjoy your attitude about poking around on your own.

[creature_girl08]

Well, if I don't go and look around on my own I won't get a thing done. So it pays to be adventurous. LOL! It is just life.
