      To be honest, if I was blind and a child came up to me and kindly asked to pet my guide dog, I would let them but really carefully, and then tell them that most other people wouldn’t let them pet their service dogs.

      thank you - the whole situation should have been handled differently regardless if the OP was blind or not. The dog was not the Karen's property and she was harassing another customer. Also, it is actually illegal for an establishment to ask you to prove your disability the way the security did. The only thing the OP would need to do is show the documentation of the dog being a seeing eye dog - otherwise the customer could sue for discrimination.

    For the 2nd story, I think it's important to realize that having a positive relationship with an ex is an ok and honesty a good sign of maturity on both ends. Positive doesn't mean potentially romantic, but if your partner is capable of being friends with an ex it shows that they were willing to take a step back and look at the relationship and see that it wasn't working out the way it was. It's ok to like someone but realize you might not be the best romantic partners for each other

      ​@@ChanceSimpson-vc8jt I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. When he said he's not going to tell her things if he thinks it will upset her or if he thinks she'll overreact, that right there is a red flag. If you're in a healthy relationship, you should be able to have mature conversations about things that are difficult for each other to hear.
      To just withhold that information because you might not like my reaction is a justifiable reason for me to seek companionship with someone who I can trust to tell me the truth, even if it's hard to hear.

      I completely agree, but I think a relationship with an ex needs to be completely open and COMPLETELY platonic when there’s a new person in your life. I mean, I’ve been friends with my bfs exes, but it was because he was completely open about it. They never hung out without me and he never lied about whether she’d call, text, or wanna hang out and she always invited me and never made me feel left out. I think it’s possible, but there has to be a lot of open communication and boundaries. In this case, he was point blank lying to her about his ex’s contact. That’s sus to me.

      ⁠@@mickk8519 exactly, as a child, I always had and loved dogs, I saw a service dog once with a little vest, and asked why the dog had clothes and if I could pet it, and the person explained that no, I couldn’t pet it, it was a service dog, and they were also blind, so they needed the dog to help them see, and that animals with vests were most likely service animals, to help people, I didn’t throw a fit, or go snitch to my mom that someone didn’t let me touch their dog, I was just happy to see a dog with a job like a police dog, so I connected the dots to my german shepherd and followed the person around talking about my german shepherd until my mom came and told me to stop bothering the poor person. I was a smart kid, but not the most socially aware, specially about disabled people, like the time I first saw a little person and asked “why that little girl had an old lady face” and where her parents were. My mom was embarrassed, told me off, and told me that she was an adult. The lady explained what midgets were (I don’t know if that’s an offensive term, sorry if it is) I’ve had ridiculous experiences with random disabled people as a child because I didn’t see many of them

      Depends on the place. The first guard should've called backup to keep the situation clear and local police if their contract doesn't allow contact. He also cannot ask some of those questions or ask for proof. I work as mall security atm. We can only ask someone if their dog is a service animal and what job they provide. We cannot ask anything else and have to go with what we're told even if we have doubts. We cannot intervene and touch someone without risking our jobs, even if it's the right thing to do. They consider us as human scarecrows and any physical contact is a possible liability. Hell, I saw a coworker get chewed out for following shoplifters to the parking lot to try and catch their car once.

    I can't believe the people in the first story. It doesn't matter whether she's blind or not, you're not supposed to pet a service dog. And even if the dog wasn't a service dog, since when do dog owners have to let other people pet their dogs just because you say so? If the owner said no, then it's no. I really hope the OP files a complaint and gets the first security guard fired. Karen will be a Karen, but that guy messed up big time. Who cares if she's blind or not?

      Also, in order to make business to comply, the complaint has to come from a person with disabilities. Even if someone without disabilities knows the business isn't in compliant, they can't force the issue or take legal actions as it doesn't involve them directly.

    To the one with the neighbor: I'm autistic and I often do not get subtle hints. I also might act weird sometimes and violate boundaries without even realizing it. I don't do this out of a lack of respect for other people but because social norms and subtle cues are basically rocket science to me. If people give me subtle signs I'm mostly just confused by that.
    What I like is when people just directly tell me when they don't like something I do. Or if they directly tell me things they would appreciate. You can be direct AND friendly at the same time. It's not a big deal. Of course it's not mentioned that the neighbor is autistic, but he might have similar issues due to his disability caused by the accident.
    I feel if you go from being subtle and nice straight to being direct and mean you skip a possible step in the middle: Being direct while still being nice.
    This is a important topic to me, because it would have helped me avoid so many misunderstandings and conflicts in the past. If people just directly tell me what's going on I can work with that. Instead they're being subtle, waiting for me to get it, bottling up their anger when I don't get and then they explode on me. And often this is the moment when I first realize that there was a problem at all. That's just frustrating for both sides.

So she is yelling and (thank the ones above I knew how to read lips) replied in the best sign language (at least the best I could with a dislocated arm.) That my car is in the right spot and these no need to move it for her to park next to her friend. All the while her child was crying at her mother shouting. So security walks in and traps my shoulder gently to alert me they are there. Now I'm at my friends coffee shop, so these people know me and that I'm deaf. I see them all yelling at each other but they were talking a bit to fast to read. The Karen left and hit into my car, but almost not damage but a scratch. Ended up having my arm popped back by security and I was given one free coffee for a family member. Like I was chilling before this happened-

      I am deaf too and thankfully so far haven't run into any super Karens. I did have a minor Karen slam her shopping cart into mine because "I was ignoring her and being rude and disrespectful". Apparently she was asking me to move over so she could get through. I was already parked on the side of the aisle out of people's way and she had plenty of room to get through. But she wanted me to somehow move over even farther. With her behind me and I'm busy looking at something, of course I had no clue she was there or even talking to me. I had my hand on my cart when I felt the bang and it made me jump. She slammed her cart into mine, rudely went on about how she asked me to move and something else, then left.
      I usually deal with people yelling/screaming at me, pushing/pulling/yanking me, grabbing me, throwing small stuff at me, etc. The time I truly felt scared was working at one job where the security guards knew I was deaf, but would chase me down screaming at me. I am minding my own business going to work and suddenly someone is running after me screaming. They would be mad about something, but none would write/type down what they were saying so I would have no clue what I did wrong. Caused me too much anxiety.

      If you're asked to tell someone about every time someone calls you or sometimes the phone number they know it's female popping up on your phone then yes I can understand where the guys come from so there's privacy. There are other boundaries there's personal boundaries at the same time if there's a call it's saying that they want to come want you to come over to drink then yes tell your significant other. But other than that he does have right to say do you say it just say it yes I'm gonna tell you about this and yes I'm not gonna tell you about that about that now if hes going out Behind your back that's different yes you have it it's chance to talk to him about that but they're telling you everything else that's going on UN that involves them and wait in full view or involve the X that's more than just a casual meeting than yes that is concerned cheating.. I think I'm not really I've got friends that have access that call them up but weird things but they don't really respond or they just cancel it out Now if it's they wanna hook backup and you won't tell you a snap of Canada then you sniff the conductor then yeah I can't understand that but if it's a thing that you can serve a Spam cone just don't talk to we'll talk too then know they don't need to know about that period

      I mean, i get where your coming from, but honestly, he's not trying to hide anything. She reacted when she saw him text his ex. Now, they could just be friends. I get the suspicion, and the request for honesty, but she also reacted in a way that would put any man on their heels. So when their drinking together, he receives a call and doesn't want her to worry about it. Now, if he say "no one" like she suggested, his girlfriend would have been instantly suspicious and would probably ply him with questions. The fact that he came out and told her what happened the next day, shows that he means to be honest, but he doesnt want to cause more stress for his girlfriend. Honestly, she just needs to back off and stop being so controlling

      A relationship is supposed to be built on trust and respect. It's a fine line either way because A. He should be honest instead of lying about what's going on (lying is not trustworthy and causes doubt), but B. He has a right to privacy a well. The problem with privacy though is that people use that a an excuse to get by with everything. If you don't trust the person you're with, then maybe that relationship isn't for you. The guy in the story is giving his gf every reason to not trust him.

So how can I come forward and be more open without setting your anxiety up." She just wanted a boundary set up. Him then saying sure, and then lying about who is calling, is what's going to set her up for anxiety about it. But if he said "it's just my ex" didn't pick up still, to her that's seen as he's open and he cherishes there time more then the call from his ex.

    As a blind person myself, I can fully relate to the first poster. I don’t have a guide dog, I instead use a smart cane, but I have still dealt with people in public who don’t understand blindness. The problem with my situation is people trying to tell me what my limits and capabilities are. I used to volunteer at a place that I will not mention, but some new people took over, and they wouldn’t let me help anymore, because they believed I couldn’t lift heavy boxes, despite the fact that I had repeatedly shown I could. I had memorized the layout of the place and could easily move the boxes, and since I was the youngest, it made it easier on everyone else. I’ve also had people tell me that I’ll never be able to live on my own, and that my family will take care of me for the rest of my life. This is despite the fact that I cook and clean for myself all the time. It bothers me that people don’t educate themselves about blindness. I’ve had people accuse me of not really being blind, even though I use a cane and Braille notetaker, basically a Braille laptop. I had incidents in school where other students would state that the only reason I got good grades is because the teachers felt sorry for me. Other students would try to trip me or steal and/or break my cane. The worst was when they would tap me on the shoulder and run away cackling like hyenas. This started in elementary school and went all the way through high school. I finally made it stop by reverse kicking one of the worst ones in the shin when he did that to me on a rainy day. I had just walked into the greenhouse, making sure my boots were covered in mud. After I kicked him, he started whining that I covered his good expensive jeans with mud. I told him that he had done it to himself. The other teens started to leave me alone when I made it clear that I perceived touching me as a threat, and that I would respond in kind. My dad and uncles taught me how to fight, and my Marine cousin gave me a few tips. Sorry, had not planned on telling that story. Parents, please teach your kids respect. I say all that to say this, please educate yourself about blindness, and don’t treat us like trash because you think you know something. You don’t understand the struggles that we can, and will deal with every day of our lives. While there is a lot of accessibility and accommodations, not every place is willing to meet those. we still have a lot we need to fight for in order to have the same treatment as everybody else. Many of the blind people I know desperately want jobs of their own, but employers will not give them a chance. A rental manager turned me away from an apartment because they didn’t think I could walk 100 yards from the curb and climb some stairs. Please don’t assume you know us, because you do not. Also, if you have a question about blindness, please just ask us. I remember several cases where curious children have been told to be quiet, and other times when adults would ask a friend or relative questions about me while I was standing right there. For the most part, most of the blind people I know are happy to answer questions about their condition. We all have different stories, and different reasons why we are blind. For instance, I am blind because of a genetic condition, while my girlfriend is blind because she was born early and there were some complications. Please take the time to get to know us, and please treat us like people.

    The ADA clearly states that the 1st security guard asking for proof that this person is blind or to provide any evidence of their disability at all is illegal, all he is allowed to ask is "What type of service does this dog provide?" Meaning is this a medical alert dog, handicap assistance, emotional support animal, disability assistance, etc. They cannot legally ask what a person's handicap or disability is and they absolutely cannot legally ask for proof of a person's need for the dog nor proof that the dog is in fact a service animal. Doing so is discrimination under the law against persons with disabilities. However, a trained service dog is not hard to spot because anything that happens around the dog or even directly to the dog the dog will ALWAYS look to the handler first before having any reaction. Even if the dog hears or sees or smells something, before it will direct its attention to it to find out what it is, it will first look to its handler. ALWAYS

    As someone who was born with cataracts (got them removed luckily when I was a baby), and is legally blind, I absolutely HATE people like the first Karen. I know what it’s like to not even have clear vision, even with glasses because I just got surgery last Tuesday and couldn’t see well until like Friday. It’s really annoying and I don’t even wish it on people I hate. Please, if someone says they are blind just say okay and walk away. Most likely they will be faking it if their service dog is aggressive, though. So look out for that, I guess.

    For the second story honesty and open communication is the key to any relationship. You can’t not tell your partner things just because you think it will upset them. Open communication is key, this will only cause resentment to grow on both ends. I don’t know any advice that would help other than maybe getting a unbiased third party to help them work it out otherwise this will grow into a bigger issue and maybe even endanger the relationship. I really think a relationship counselor can be helpful especially since OP admitted that they overthink and that they still have some trust issues.

    If the first story happened in the US, the security guard illegally asked the OP to prove they were blind. It is against the ADA for businesses to ask someone to prove they have a disability or ask what that disability is. The two questions that can be asked legally is if the dog is a service dog and what tasks does it do for the person. They can't deny access to someone having a service dog with them. The OP should have called the police and press charges when the Karen grabbed for the harness. That's like taking someone's mobility device away, like a wheelchair or a cane. I believe this would be considered as assault.

    OK for the first story .
    Just because someone doesn't look disabled doesn't mean there not disabled.
    I myself am disabled and I for the most part look like everyone else.
    The only big hint to my disability is the little home made bag's keep around my neck.
    I was born with epilepsy but grew out of most of the symptoms but still have the bad memory.
    I don't need a guide dog.
    People are asking if she is blind how can she post the story?
    That has the be this generations dumbest question and this is why we need world War 3 to get rid of the trash that that lingers on Twitter.
    Depending upon what country you are in disabled people have a support network that normally includes family members friends fellow disabled people in there city and there support workers.
    As the phone part I for one didn't know about this myself but I would imagine it's like a Google talk kind of program where you talk and the phone inputs what you say.
    You know when you're phone randomly says say hi Google? That problem and that's on my phone and my phone was released in 2018.
    The last part is just like others on here said op is the owner of the dog end of story.
    The last part with the security should have been guard asking op if that's her dog and if she wants Karen to pet her dog .
    The answer is clearly its her dog and she wants to be left alone.
    The talk should have ended there and Karen banned.
    If it was me in her place it likely would have been easy to name and shame the mall and maybe go to small clames court to try to get a little justice done.
    Ideally the Karen deserved to be sued to the point of being homeless her croch goblin in foster care and the guard fired.

    2. That woman(at least I think it's a woman) is for lack of a better word delusional. She's convinced herself that her boyfriend is gaslighting her when that's just not the case from what I'm able to gather. I think she's just insecure, paranoid, and possibly downplaying her own reactions to her bf talking to people on his phone. Because to an extent I can understand not wanting to tell someone something for fear of enduring their reaction.
