What a terrible driver. He didn't even open his window to say hello like a normal driver would for a seeing person. He is also a liar about helping blind people EVERY day.
Yeah i caught on that immediately. If you have experience, do you treat them all like that? Unbelievable tbh. But I get the language barrier and cultural difference. Disabilities in other countries are treated lesser than in the West.
Dan MacGregor Yeah!!!! If he helped blind people he would know how to help them 😆 my dad knows how my dad has driven like a lot of blind people and he even told a blind person about me and how I’m like a miracle baby and how I’m blind I’m not fully blind I’m blind in my left eye
Ikr I would have been pissed off ! But she was annoyed with him! Good he needs to learn to be kind and not be so damn lazy! And actually do his job right! My god some people man.
I’m actually quite happy at happened, it gave me a wonderful opportunity to educate him, and through my videos so many people on the appropriate way to help a blind individual. Even though it was very frustrating, I have learned to take deep breath’s in these situations and try to make the best of it. I will never let someone treat me wrong, but instead of chewing them out, I try if possible to do my best to confidently and properly educate them on how I need to be treated and helped. And as a completely blind individual, I practice patience every single day of my life through lots of situations. Most things in life are not easy for me, it’s up to me to choose the attitude I will have when confronted with challenges. I choose joy! 💛
Jonathan Xavier this has absolutely NOTHING to do with race. This has to be about being rude to someone who is disabled. I don’t know why you had to bring race into this..... she’s just educating him on how to better treat blind people, not treating him less than because of race....
I don't know if it's inappropriate or not, but when you were talking to the driver in the car and pointing the camera at Arabella, she had her head on the seat and was just giving us a look as if to say, "Can you believe this guy? Seriously?" Haha, she was just so cute and unamused.
Eric Kirkland mhm my dads an Uber driver well he used to be but he’s helped lots of blind people and he was so nice to them he told one blind girl about how I’m visually impaired and stuff And he took the girl to the right place if joy got my dad as an Uber he would be so good
He is a dipshit. Uber should allow her to cancel rides like that without being charged. It was very uncomfortable from the first honk, especially since he acknowledged he read the message.
language barrier aside, it’s common decency to call out to someone NOT honk. Especially when they are a foot away from you. Plus WHO GRABS people like that? I would never even attempt to do that to anyone and so aggressively. I kid you not I jumped a little when he grabbed her, natural reaction. Especially when you literally don’t see it coming. That’s frightening. This saddens me to see how misinformed people are in general. Sorry Joy. Hopefully with the help of these videos and more this will happen a lot less.
Oh yeah he grabbed her with such ferocity that it left marks on her arm. They were locked in a fierce grip before she had to use a crowbar to break free. White women are so dramatic. Typical Becky.
@@jonathanxavier2026 no one said anything like that. But if we want to be flinging shit based on race based steryotypes, why cant this brownie speak good enough english so someone can understand them? Probably because hes too busy taking a siesta. Brown people are so lazy. Typical José.
@@memesflowi take out the white part and id agree. The race doesnt matter in that case, women in general be annoying with all of the "signals" they use instead of being straightforward.
More like frustrated, I don’t understand honking. It comes off as rude to any customer let alone someone who is completely blind and can’t see anything at all. However I did think it was a great educational moment for him and he seemed grateful to learn.
I am so sorry, my comment above was in regards to someone’s comment who said I seemed kind of mad at this Uber driver. I didn’t intend it to be posted to your comment. But yes, it came off as rude but I definitely think I helped open his eyes :-)
I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a rude uber driver. It must be so frustrating to have to rely on the kindness of other people to do simple things like getting in a car. I'm glad you tried to educate him to help other people in the future, that's the most positive thing you can do! Great video Joy I hope your beautiful Georgianna gets better soon 💖💖
The driver didn't understand english very well nor did he mean to make you uncomfortable by touching you, he was obviously nervous and thought he had to touch you to help guide you... Why is everyone moaning about how 'rude' he is? Try going to a foriegn country and helping a blind person in a foreign language with no expierence or training 🤦♂️, idiots
@@Condoctuc In my opinion its rude for anybody to honk like that 3 or 4 times, let alone being warned beforehand of being blind. The language barrier is not the issue and there are plenty of other ways he could've helped Joy. No need to call people idiots, we just care about Joy's wellbeing. She was clearly a bit frustrated at him. Maybe its common sense for me not to grab somone who has literally near to no indication of where anything is. Imagine being in a dark room and you feel something grab you, hello thats so scary!
@@John-vr4kg the honk is the rudest part but id assume that is a cultural difference, but this guy had obviously never had a similar encounter, its unfortunate but at the end of the day you cant expect everyone to know everything and to know how to accommodate for everyone, the guys english was terrible so its hard to give verbal queues which helps her the most, he probably is an uber driver because you dont have to communicate much, and was probably a bit overwhelmed himself so he tried to help in another way (by touching her) obviously this from joys perspective is scary but at the same time he was just trying to help... Just think its unfair to call the guy rude just because he was ignorant on how to help a blind person
Sara Rose Aronfeld Same. I drive for Lyft sometimes and I would NEVER honk at anyone, ever. If I see the person I think I’m picking up but they aren’t reacting to my car being there, I roll down my window and ask, “Are you [name]?” and handle it from there.
For a sighted person why would honking be rude? If I was at a store I'd rather have someone honk then have to go to each car and see if the driver sas there.
Koda Grey...I agree! They are loud and repetative! I have sound sensitivity!...Also I get annoyed at honking personally, cause I am disabled and most people who honk can walk well. I'm like, "REALLY DUDE! YOUR LEGS WORK!"... I understand you can't tell just by looking at people, trust me, I know...But it's just that most people who honk can walk...Some can't and I totally get that, but honking is both kind of personally offensive and just plain rude... It's the equivalent of snapping your fingers at someone to get their attention or for them to come to you instead of you making an effort to go to them. 😒
I think she completely over-reacted to him touching her. He was clearly just trying to help and I felt the way she shouted at him was not right. I get it's scary for her, and he was useless and at fault for most of the video but that bit was not ok with me.
My first reaction was that she acted way over-sensitively, he was only clumsily trying to help. Then again it must be really unpleasant/ terrifying having someone touch you out of the blue when you don't see, doubly if it is a stranger.
Naughtystimpy she wasn’t overreacting. he just suddenly grabbed her, which i think its safe to say anyone in that situation would react the same. It’s similar to someone coming up behind you and tapping you, you don’t expect it and get spooked. Another thing is that you don’t just try to help a blind person by grabbing them and pulling them along, so she had all right to tell him what he did wrong and correct his behavior
I didn’t think he was creepy personally. He just seemed uneducated when it comes to blind people. Also English isn’t his first language so he didn’t understand what she texted. He was still rude but not creepy
Frankie...I was in a LYFT once with a guy THAT WAS SUPER COOL SO I WASN'T WORRIED, we just talked like friends...and he was telling me that in Asia there were news stories that drivers were picking people up, driving them to the middle of nowhere and murdering them...I was like, "HOLY CRAP!"...When we got to my destination I was like, "BE SAFE OUT THERE AND I HOPE YOU DON'T PICK UP ANY MURDERS!"...We both laughed!... I have a dark sense of humor sometimes! 🤪
TheRedsun111 My parents were both immigrants who didn’t know the language. But they would never have treated a person like that ( let alone a blind person) this is not about a cultural/language barrier this is about someones character. This guy had a very bad attitude regardless of where he is from.
@@sokosoko6543 he didnt know she was blind, and obviously if he cant articulate a sentence to say where the car is etc. its probably hard to instruct it, so from an ignorant view point he was trying to be helpful.
@@faithingod6639 Maybe they don't get payed well but it's still their job to act professional. Like when you go to the supermarket would you want the cashier to be grumpy and not say "hello, thank you, have a nice day"? No, you would not although they don't become rich with their jobs. Same goes for Uber drivers. You want to be able to trust them when you enter their cars. I would not have trusted this one after he touched Joy without asking, after he honked and impatiently waved, after he just shut the door without making sure Arabella was fully inside the car. This is stuff that has nothing to do with payment.
@@faithingod6639 They don't get paid enough to be able to communicate with customers and be decent people? I worked a shit job for 5 years and I was never that inconsiderate.
MsAdreaL yes, I hope he was able to understand and learn something from our conversation and interaction. And thank you, I have learned that is so important to educate with joy, patience, and a kind heart. Not always easy, but it’s a great attitude to practice.
Joy the courage you have is incredible. I'm scared to take an uber no matter what. I cant believe how rude he was but how you educated him and how much he learned was incredible. You are an inspiration and you make a difference in the world.
I will only take uber in a touristy area. I did it when I was in Las Vegas and everyone I had was super nice and very friendly. I feel like in tourist areas, people just want to make money. But in just regular areas, i feel there’s no big motivation. who knows what they’re doing or their intentions
Wow this is crazy. He saw you waving and speaking. Didn’t roll his windows down or anything, he just sat in the car. I actually reacted when he started to grab you. I was like no! Don’t grab her!
aly I was like you better not touch her you idiot! Then he tried and joy was like no don’t touch me I was like yes you say that to him joy that dude is stupie
he should not have grabbed her like that. I think she seemed kind of scared. Did she look scared? I am asking this, because I am blind as well. My name is Mandy. 11:48 11:54
Sounds like the driver is just making stuff up, and not listening. Thanks for helping advocate. You have way more patience than I do. I don’t have the patience to educate everyone like that.
English is obviously not his first language. I wouldn't be so hard on someone for the confusion when they blatantly haven't grown up with the language.
Sinon's Life not everyone gets an opportunity to interact with someone that is blind. I for one haven’t before. You don’t how to handle certain situations until you’ve experienced them or done research
Brittany Bennett it seems to me like he struggled because maybe English isn’t his first language, and it may be frustrating because of the language barriers and that’s maybe why his questions don’t come across very well? Xxx
Woah. Honking to your Uber guest is rude when they're sighted. Nevermind honking at someone who is blind or disabled in any way.. my goodness. It's amazing how well you handled that. Thank you for sharing ♥️
He said "many times" when you ask if he has ever helped a blind person before i call bs on that if he did like he said then he should have known better i hope you filed a complaint on him. And your dog is such a good girl and so smart she was clearly concerned for you.
@@spirosgal1885 filling a complaint is not being a jerk with most business they have to receive 3 complaints before they do something about it, sure talking with the person is often enough but if he does not listen then it does no good and if a complaint is never filed they he will continue on being a jerk to other people simply because he just does not care so yes it is good to talk to the person, but report it as well.
@@macgabhann1108 but its nice to give people chances not everyone deal with disabilities or blindness/visually impaired people everyday so they are not educated on it. there is no need to file a complaint on someone who doesn't know something.
Goldn Haze Ignorance isn’t a excuse for lack of common courtesy or discrimination of any kind. He knew she she was blind (days he works with blind people every day) .. It’s not the public’s job to educate everyone. He knows better not to grab strangers without permission right? Or at his age we need to teach him that too.. whether she was blind or not you don’t repeatedly honk at someone & not let them know your their Uber.
Mel Mel I know thank you, hopefully he learned a thing or two after my eye-opening ride. Hope to never have a ride this odd again. But you know, something good came from it, an educational moment not just for him, but for so many people who will be watching my video for years to come all over the world! Love educating and bringing awareness to blindness and guide dogs. :-)
Why are you expecting America to do shit? No one in other English speaking countries like Americans, and I'm talking about newer generations, they get made fun of shit when they go there, it's because no one actually likes America its just a show on our side lmaoo
Maybe in very large cities that'd be possible, but most wouldn't have enough blind people to make something like that worth the effort. I think uber should offer special training for disabled. Maybe an online course, and your profile gets a special badge when you've completed it. Then disabled people could request someone with the badge.
i love that you educated him and were really direct and kind about it but i don't appreciate everyone bashing him. it did not come off as him being impatient or rude, i think he genuinely did not know what to do and in the end he apologized and heard Joy out. Not every blind person has a guide dog.... how do y'all know how many blind people he knows? Sheesh.... ANYWAY, I really love your videos, Joy! Thanks for sharing your experience, always.
What a rude Uber driver. Made me mad seeing that. I liked the way you handled him, though. He didn't even apologise for his behaviour. Anyway, Joy, God bless you and your family. Get well soon, Georgiana 💗💗💗💗
He obviously doesn’t speak English well. He’s trying to communicate the way he can. I know his behavior didn’t come up very well but it’s the language barrier. People are so mean. Turned me off the channel. My parents have been talked to demeaningly as well. Like I get it. I agree he was a bit rude but she also came across as condescending. Made me mad because I’ve witnessed my parents being talked to like that.
I’m so proud of how you educated him. We could definitely hear the fear in your voice when he touched you. Honking at any person is very unprofessional and rude.. especially to a blind or disable person. Even when you were taking to your subscriber he was getting impatient. HE CAN WAIT! That is his job! Please be very careful getting into these Uber’s. I would’ve flat out not gotten into his car! I am so glad you made sure he was a uber driver though. I think a lot of the situation had to do with miscommunication as you could tell he could barely speak or understand English.
@@sarahbrennan545 When he was talking about it it seemed that the person he was helping wasn't blind enough to stop them from having an active life so he probably is just not experienced with the completely blind.
The APS Life yeah! Or he lied 😆 cause if I ever do Uber or something well when me is older :p if I get a blind person getting my Uber I’ll help them correctly like I’ll talk to them all good then I’ll do all the stuff like tell them where the car is even probably tap on my car to let them know where it is
Awe, that is so incredibly sweet of you to say! Are you a new subscriber? I love receiving comments like yours, thank you again, so happy I brightened your day! Many blessings :-)
Edwin...I had a driver literally grab my Walker out from under me right when they walked up to me...it took allot for me not to punch them in the face. 😋😒...I just told the person I still needed my Walker to get in the car...Sooo, I feel this one sooo much!...I hate when people grab for you or your stuff...I understand maybe they are trying to help...But as a disabled individual, I want to do as much as I can and when I need help, I'll ask...I don't need to be either coddled OR treated like nothing is wrong with me just because I do as much as I can until I can't.
@@-belue-6697 -Belue- -Myst- Oh no,Without even asking? I could imagine how that must've felt. My advice, if it happens a second time just make a fist, lock your arm back and say "touch my stuff again and watch". 😡 (joking) I agree with you 100 percent, in my opinion that should be the gold standard.(Being considerate of others is very important)
Wow he was so rude....ugh that makes me so mad. Bless you for having such a polite personality and being so patient. Im sorry you have to deal with ignorant people like him...
you did a great job breaking it down and explaining it for him. some people never think about the stuff other people have to go through on a day to day
All the comments saying he was rude and creepy I think you should give this man the benefit of the doubt a bit more. He obviously hasn't helped a blind person into his car before and English obviously isn't his first language which you can tell he struggles with but is trying to make an effort to understand everything joyce is saying. It's good that he respected joyce when she said don't touch me and he realised straight away it wasn't the right thing to do. Everyone at some point in their life comes across another individual where there is that language barrier and it's always tricky to communicate. I'm sure for blind people it can be even trickier but he still tried his best to keep conversation to try make joyce comfortable. Hopefully he learns a little at least from this situation but the fact that he didn't know or doesn't understand doesn't make him rude or creepy.
Who honks at someone who is a foot away from them? I use uber all the time and NEVER has anyone honked like that. In fact they have called and or yelled out kindly. He also kept denying her saying that other blind people figured it out easier than her which is rude bc everyone is different.
Joy I recently discovered your channel and videos and I got so inspired. I am currently in a very depressive phase and too see you overcome every challenge really kindled a flame of inspiration in me. I am so emotional watching your videos and start to appreciate the fact that I am blessed with eyesight. You make it look so easy to live as a blind individual, I also know that it is not. Arabella is such a beautiful angle and she is so good at guiding you through your adventures. With great sadness I stumbled upon your videos of your first guiding angel Antonia and her passing. I really do believe that still from heaven she is guiding you and Bella. As from now on I will try to life my life with joy as much as possible and try to get out of the darkness I am currently experiencing. Much love to you, your gorgeous daughters, your lovely husband and of course your guiding angel. ❤️
That Uber driver makes me so mad for not even trying to be helpful and touching you!!!! You are an angel for trying to educate him and being so kind❤️❤️
Good for you for being so patient with Him! I also have to do this on a daily basis with people who just don’t know how to approach those of us who have various degrees of blindness! Every moment is an educational moment!
Playing devils advocate. yes he didn't understand English very well, and yes he has NO proper AMERICAN culture awareness. But I think he was just trying to guide her to the door. I have a blind guy come into my work every now and then, and when we were first meeting i had NO idea if i was supposed to gently brush his shoulder to let him know where I was, or to touch his wrist to guide him to a particular material that was stacked next to 30 other ones so he could feel for the right material. It was a LEARNING experience and everyone is different. Im sure Joy has her own way of dealing with being touched, especially being a female and being blind. (The blind person I help is a guy). But before we know each other? It was fricken terrifying, you just want to help but end up doing the wrong thing.
So much respect ✊ for u I work retail and some people are nasty to me so sometimes I’m the same way back but u wow just the kindness you show and patients you showed this guy wow god bless u
Everyone is bashing the Uber driver ;( He obviously doesn’t speak very good English and is trying his hardest. Most people don’t know how to carter to the disabled.
Yea I noticed he was trying too. He was nervous. His English isnt good , he's using all the words he has which would explain why he asked how she feeds the dog. Hes listening. He's said sorry. He's asking questions to make sure he understands.
I’ve never commented before though I’ve watched your videos for the last few weeks. Arabella has the sweetest, kindest expression in that car. What a patient girl, she’s such a good dog! I love hearing your explanations and advice for the driver. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I wish more people were open and confident enough to educate for themselves and others that may have the same challenges. You’re my inspiration to try. I’ve started telling people why I’m not able to do certain things and how they can help if it seems like they’re willing. I used to be very bitter and embarrassed about my disability but your videos have made me realize that people are kinder than I ever expected. The world is a better place because of you. Thank you 🙏
You can be proud that you are confident enough to explain and educate someone. You don't do it in an annoying way or anything like that. You're a fantastic person.
Joy, you are an amazingly patient and well-spoken advocate. I know that must get tiring and is definitely frustrating, but thank you for the work you do to try and make things better for other blind individuals this driver might encounter in the future.
A lot of people are saying he was rude, which is not the truth. He is clearly from somewhere in Asia or the Middle East leading me to believe that he has never been exposed to something like a blind person and/or a guide dog. He is simply uneducated, not rude, there is a huge difference. The way Joy handled it was amazing by educating him instead of getting mad.
I love this video. 👍🏻 I like how you kindly educate him on how to navigate picking up someone who is blind. Not everyone knows or has experience with blind people, so it’s nice to see someone educating people instead of just getting mad.
That uber driver freaks me out . He touched you was scary I don't think meant any harm but he was still rude but I don't think he ever meet anyone that was blind . But joy I always was wondering your guide dog will protect are a guard dog will if need be
@@aubreytaylorsversion I think u miss understood what in trying to say or I'm not expressing my self clearing I want to say something with out being miss understood . I no guide dog only guide and I dog guard dog are other kind dog. But I mean a pretty woman alone or in this situation that this guy meant harm will her dog can still protect her
Ernest Minnix no the dog will not do anything to protect her. If the Uber driver attacked her the dog would most likely just sit there waiting for a command from Joy. Guide dogs are not trained at all to protect or attack.
People need to learn how to HELP people! It doesn’t take much! Maybe we should make it a point to TEACH this in schools, how to HELP others! You are so beautiful and am very amazed how calm you remain in these situations! ❤️
Thank you, I agree. I think we all need to learn how to look beyond our own situation to see others in need. Today people are so consumed with their own little world, I don’t think people are trying to be intentionally rude, just not aware.
Joy Ross you are absolutely right! It’s rush rush rush, mixed in with the fear of stepping out of their own comfort zone! That’s why I feel it should be taught in schools. Mandatory lessons on ALS and properly helping someone who can’t see! Then maybe caring would be apart of more people’s everyday life! You are so amazing for being so strong and dealing with such an assortment of people every single day, and handling it like a champ. Being forced to see the side of people that most of us don’t even realize exist, would make me crumble into pieces! You’re amazing ❤️
She is so humble and very strong Someone else would of lost their Mind if they were blind.....I’m partial Blind in my right eye 👁 for a long Time but I’m still trusting God for A miracle for us ♥️♥️♥️ ♥️♥️♥️♥️
It’s honestly crazy how much more respected a guide dog is by the general public. I have a mini dachshund service dog and everyone is always trying to distract him, must be the breed. Love you both heaps 💖
Oh my gosh I am so sorry you had to deal with this Uber driver. He seemed very uneducated about blind people and even some random things.. I hope you never have to go through this again. Made me very anxious watching this
Educating about limitations, disabilities and/or differences is always a on going chore/job. I have a seizure detection service dog. As a traveling RN, I’ve come to learn so much about cultural differences and how some communities, societies and countries have never interacted with people who have differences or service/guide dogs. I’m really glad you were so patient and calm when educating him. Too many of us become overly confrontational and loose a valuable moment to teach. I’m sure what you said will resonate with him as he processes it. I know I learn something new about guide dogs every time I watch one of your videos. Guide dogs are similar yet so very different than service dogs. Many don’t understand but I find most want to learn. Those who don’t, I just hope they heard something and enjoy the rest of my day.☺️ Thank you. 🐾❤️🐾
A lot of people are hating on this driver, but I don't see why. Not a lot of people know how to deal with a situation like this, and it seems like english wasn't his strong suit. He was very receptive to the advice she gave him and he was apologetic for not handling it properly. He is not that bad at the end of the day. You learn from your mistakes, he is human too.
The Uber driver clearly didn’t understand English too well and there’s an obvious barrier with regards to culture which I would think people would understand. I don’t think he handled it as well as he could’ve but people in the comments gotta chill it wasn’t THAT bad.
Jemma joy like I said he’s clearly from a different culture where mannerism is different the guy is just trying to make a living yall gotta cut him some slack
Good on you for being so kind and trying to teach people the best way to approach things even when they are being inconsiderate ding dongs. You definitely have my respect! :)
You'd think Uber would have a basic training class on how to assist a blind person, since a lot of blind people rely on Uber. So awesome you advocated for yourself and helped future blind customers (hopefully.)
Well, that was hard to experience. "I can't see, so I don't..." - "Come on in." In your position when he was honking at you and just didn't even listen, I already would have quit. Not seeing anything, not having someone listening and then just being touched would creep the hell out of me. Absolutely appreciate your patience in explaining though.
You are such an amazing woman, I lost my sight temporarily for a few weeks and i was ready to give up after a week and a half. I just don't know how you do it, but your are such an inspiration to others, and your girls, stay strong !
You are so patient and helpful explaining and educating people. And Arabella was so beautiful sitting there in the car with you. She was just staring at you with love in her eyes the whole time you were talking to the Uber driver.
I love how you properly educate people on blindness and very out spoken
oh my god its helga pataki
Oh my gosh I love your name.
Cierraswonderfullife you’re one of the few people who actually gets it lol

That Uber driver was such an embarrassment. I'm so sorry you have to deal with people like that Joy.
Ashley Hunter I don’t know, I just don’t think he knew English very well. I think he just did what he thought he should do.
sm0ke wowwwwww calm down. So don’t need to curse
How ? he went to help

@@connoryaps you and that driver could still learn some manners to coexist with in a civilized environment.
The expression on Arabella’s face while riding in the car is absolutely precious.
And priceless! Her eyes said it all.
I KNOWWWW
I think the look said something like
"This guy sucks but I hope you are alright"
She is such a beauty
Arabella was dozing off, Joy. It's so cute!
What a terrible driver. He didn't even open his window to say hello like a normal driver would for a seeing person. He is also a liar about helping blind people EVERY day.
Yeah i caught on that immediately. If you have experience, do you treat them all like that? Unbelievable tbh. But I get the language barrier and cultural difference. Disabilities in other countries are treated lesser than in the West.
@@Tom135 dont stereotype every Muslim
Truee. Also how would he have helped other blind people if he has never seen a guide dog before🤷🏻♀️
IKR!! He should of already have known!!! He such a freaking lair!!
Dan MacGregor Yeah!!!! If he helped blind people he would know how to help them 😆 my dad knows how my dad has driven like a lot of blind people and he even told a blind person about me and how I’m like a miracle baby and how I’m blind I’m not fully blind I’m blind in my left eye
Holy moly...you are way more patient than I would have been. So sorry this happened
Ikr I would have been pissed off ! But she was annoyed with him! Good he needs to learn to be kind and not be so damn lazy! And actually do his job right! My god some people man.
I’m actually quite happy at happened, it gave me a wonderful opportunity to educate him, and through my videos so many people on the appropriate way to help a blind individual. Even though it was very frustrating, I have learned to take deep breath’s in these situations and try to make the best of it. I will never let someone treat me wrong, but instead of chewing them out, I try if possible to do my best to confidently and properly educate them on how I need to be treated and helped. And as a completely blind individual, I practice patience every single day of my life through lots of situations. Most things in life are not easy for me, it’s up to me to choose the attitude I will have when confronted with challenges. I choose joy! 💛
@@JoyRoss you are a beautiful person inside and out. Well said!
@@JoyRoss Ah yes white woman educating the uneducated black man, how endearing.
Jonathan Xavier this has absolutely NOTHING to do with race. This has to be about being rude to someone who is disabled. I don’t know why you had to bring race into this..... she’s just educating him on how to better treat blind people, not treating him less than because of race....
I don't know if it's inappropriate or not, but when you were talking to the driver in the car and pointing the camera at Arabella, she had her head on the seat and was just giving us a look as if to say, "Can you believe this guy? Seriously?" Haha, she was just so cute and unamused.
I know :) that doggo face xD
I’m an Uber driver. That guy was unprofessional
Eric Kirkland mhm my dads an Uber driver well he used to be but he’s helped lots of blind people and he was so nice to them he told one blind girl about how I’m visually impaired and stuff And he took the girl to the right place if joy got my dad as an Uber he would be so good
Yea what a fuckin looser
He is a dipshit. Uber should allow her to cancel rides like that without being charged. It was very uncomfortable from the first honk, especially since he acknowledged he read the message.
Most of uber drivers are this creepy
A lot of uBer drivers R like that or worse
language barrier aside, it’s common decency to call out to someone NOT honk. Especially when they are a foot away from you. Plus WHO GRABS people like that? I would never even attempt to do that to anyone and so aggressively. I kid you not I jumped a little when he grabbed her, natural reaction. Especially when you literally don’t see it coming. That’s frightening. This saddens me to see how misinformed people are in general. Sorry Joy. Hopefully with the help of these videos and more this will happen a lot less.
jasmine pearl exactly
Oh yeah he grabbed her with such ferocity that it left marks on her arm. They were locked in a fierce grip before she had to use a crowbar to break free. White women are so dramatic. Typical Becky.
Jonathan Xavier the fuck is wrong with you
@@jonathanxavier2026 no one said anything like that. But if we want to be flinging shit based on race based steryotypes, why cant this brownie speak good enough english so someone can understand them? Probably because hes too busy taking a siesta. Brown people are so lazy. Typical José.
@@memesflowi take out the white part and id agree. The race doesnt matter in that case, women in general be annoying with all of the "signals" they use instead of being straightforward.
Honking at you was definitely the wrong move!
The Uber driver was so rude and unhelpful.
More like frustrated, I don’t understand honking. It comes off as rude to any customer let alone someone who is completely blind and can’t see anything at all. However I did think it was a great educational moment for him and he seemed grateful to learn.
@@JoyRoss That's great, then. I couldn't hear much of what he was saying, so I was hoping he was open to the guidance you offered him.
I am so sorry, my comment above was in regards to someone’s comment who said I seemed kind of mad at this Uber driver. I didn’t intend it to be posted to your comment. But yes, it came off as rude but I definitely think I helped open his eyes :-)
@@JoyRoss That's good. 😊
@@JoyRoss I love ur videos and not to be rude but how do u video and type and look at the comments? 😊
I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a rude uber driver. It must be so frustrating to have to rely on the kindness of other people to do simple things like getting in a car. I'm glad you tried to educate him to help other people in the future, that's the most positive thing you can do! Great video Joy I hope your beautiful Georgianna gets better soon 💖💖
The driver didn't understand english very well nor did he mean to make you uncomfortable by touching you, he was obviously nervous and thought he had to touch you to help guide you... Why is everyone moaning about how 'rude' he is? Try going to a foriegn country and helping a blind person in a foreign language with no expierence or training 🤦♂️, idiots
@@Condoctuc In my opinion its rude for anybody to honk like that 3 or 4 times, let alone being warned beforehand of being blind. The language barrier is not the issue and there are plenty of other ways he could've helped Joy. No need to call people idiots, we just care about Joy's wellbeing. She was clearly a bit frustrated at him. Maybe its common sense for me not to grab somone who has literally near to no indication of where anything is. Imagine being in a dark room and you feel something grab you, hello thats so scary!
@@John-vr4kg he clearly thought that the honk was supposed to help alert her to the car being there.
@@John-vr4kg the honk is the rudest part but id assume that is a cultural difference, but this guy had obviously never had a similar encounter, its unfortunate but at the end of the day you cant expect everyone to know everything and to know how to accommodate for everyone, the guys english was terrible so its hard to give verbal queues which helps her the most, he probably is an uber driver because you dont have to communicate much, and was probably a bit overwhelmed himself so he tried to help in another way (by touching her) obviously this from joys perspective is scary but at the same time he was just trying to help... Just think its unfair to call the guy rude just because he was ignorant on how to help a blind person
Jacob Dalton At least you were respectful in your explanation, I see what you are talking about
I am sighted and if an uber driver honked at me I would be so angry. I wouldn't get in the car, I would cancel
Sara Rose Aronfeld Same. I drive for Lyft sometimes and I would NEVER honk at anyone, ever. If I see the person I think I’m picking up but they aren’t reacting to my car being there, I roll down my window and ask, “Are you [name]?” and handle it from there.
Exactly. So rude.
Sara Rose Aronfeld Same I would probably flip that dude off 😆 well unless it was my family :p
Bunch of entitled losers, bruh just suck it up man.
For a sighted person why would honking be rude? If I was at a store I'd rather have someone honk then have to go to each car and see if the driver sas there.
Honking horns give me so much anxiety. They are just too loud! I would be so upset with this driver. Glad you could educate him a bit.
Koda Grey...I agree! They are loud and repetative! I have sound sensitivity!...Also I get annoyed at honking personally, cause I am disabled and most people who honk can walk well. I'm like, "REALLY DUDE! YOUR LEGS WORK!"...
I understand you can't tell just by looking at people, trust me, I know...But it's just that most people who honk can walk...Some can't and I totally get that, but honking is both kind of personally offensive and just plain rude...
It's the equivalent of snapping your fingers at someone to get their attention or for them to come to you instead of you making an effort to go to them. 😒
Honking the horn at anyone is rude.
I think he lied about helping other blind people! Your dog was so done with him!😂 She knew he was ridiculous!😂😂😂 But him honking at you!!!!!!!! WOW!
Arabella was giving the stank eye, she is way too cute
“Don’t touch me” preach girl! He shouldn’t grab you like that! That made me so mad 😡😭
You people are way to sensitive. This guy was trying to help (he's obviously just unexperienced in such situations). And yes he shouldn't have honked.
I think she completely over-reacted to him touching her. He was clearly just trying to help and I felt the way she shouted at him was not right. I get it's scary for her, and he was useless and at fault for most of the video but that bit was not ok with me.
My first reaction was that she acted way over-sensitively, he was only clumsily trying to help. Then again it must be really unpleasant/ terrifying having someone touch you out of the blue when you don't see, doubly if it is a stranger.
Idc if I’m blind DO NOT TOUCH ME do not idc if you’re IGNORANT about blindness nor anything
Naughtystimpy she wasn’t overreacting. he just suddenly grabbed her, which i think its safe to say anyone in that situation would react the same. It’s similar to someone coming up behind you and tapping you, you don’t expect it and get spooked. Another thing is that you don’t just try to help a blind person by grabbing them and pulling them along, so she had all right to tell him what he did wrong and correct his behavior
This guy was giving me some weird bad vibes, i would never have gotten in his car alone. Please be careful Joy!
Yeah I have heard some crazy Uber driver stories where they kidnap people, I wouldn’t want anything like that to happen to her
I didn’t think he was creepy personally. He just seemed uneducated when it comes to blind people. Also English isn’t his first language so he didn’t understand what she texted. He was still rude but not creepy
Frankie...I was in a LYFT once with a guy THAT WAS SUPER COOL SO I WASN'T WORRIED, we just talked like friends...and he was telling me that in Asia there were news stories that drivers were picking people up, driving them to the middle of nowhere and murdering them...I was like, "HOLY CRAP!"...When we got to my destination I was like, "BE SAFE OUT THERE AND I HOPE YOU DON'T PICK UP ANY MURDERS!"...We both laughed!...
I have a dark sense of humor sometimes! 🤪
TheRedsun111 My parents were both immigrants who didn’t know the language. But they would never have treated a person like that ( let alone a blind person) this is not about a cultural/language barrier this is about someones character. This guy had a very bad attitude regardless of where he is from.
@@sokosoko6543 he didnt know she was blind, and obviously if he cant articulate a sentence to say where the car is etc. its probably hard to instruct it, so from an ignorant view point he was trying to be helpful.
Omg unprofessional Uber! He lacks common sense .. I was so weirded out watching this!!
Ikr
Dude they don’t get paid enough for all the bull crap
PRINCE Prince you sound like an Uber driver that gets 2 stars on most of their rides
@@faithingod6639 Maybe they don't get payed well but it's still their job to act professional. Like when you go to the supermarket would you want the cashier to be grumpy and not say "hello, thank you, have a nice day"? No, you would not although they don't become rich with their jobs. Same goes for Uber drivers. You want to be able to trust them when you enter their cars. I would not have trusted this one after he touched Joy without asking, after he honked and impatiently waved, after he just shut the door without making sure Arabella was fully inside the car. This is stuff that has nothing to do with payment.
@@faithingod6639 They don't get paid enough to be able to communicate with customers and be decent people? I worked a shit job for 5 years and I was never that inconsiderate.
You are a very courageous lady to give him feedback and teach him. I would be terrified. You are awesome Joy!
It was a language barrier, he seemed confused
He seemed receptive at the end, so that was good at least. And you were really, really nice about everything! You are such a great example, seriously.
MsAdreaL yes, I hope he was able to understand and learn something from our conversation and interaction. And thank you, I have learned that is so important to educate with joy, patience, and a kind heart. Not always easy, but it’s a great attitude to practice.
Joy the courage you have is incredible. I'm scared to take an uber no matter what. I cant believe how rude he was but how you educated him and how much he learned was incredible. You are an inspiration and you make a difference in the world.
Yes, she treated him with such kindness also... What a wonderful woman!
I don't think he learned anything I don't think he was paying attention
I will only take uber in a touristy area. I did it when I was in Las Vegas and everyone I had was super nice and very friendly. I feel like in tourist areas, people just want to make money. But in just regular areas, i feel there’s no big motivation. who knows what they’re doing or their intentions
Wow this is crazy. He saw you waving and speaking. Didn’t roll his windows down or anything, he just sat in the car. I actually reacted when he started to grab you. I was like no! Don’t grab her!
aly I was like you better not touch her you idiot! Then he tried and joy was like no don’t touch me I was like yes you say that to him joy that dude is stupie
WOW THIS IS CRAZY HE SAW YOU WAVING AND
SPEAKING
he should not have grabbed her like that. I think she seemed kind of scared. Did she look scared? I am asking this, because I am blind as well. My name is Mandy. 11:48 11:54
Sounds like the driver is just making stuff up, and not listening. Thanks for helping advocate. You have way more patience than I do. I don’t have the patience to educate everyone like that.
Or he doesnt speak english....and keeps misunderstanding her.
His language obviously isn't English so he is probably trying to understand her.
English is obviously not his first language. I wouldn't be so hard on someone for the confusion when they blatantly haven't grown up with the language.
Steve Sheppard there are people who are blind all over the world, not an excuse
Sinon's Life not everyone gets an opportunity to interact with someone that is blind. I for one haven’t before. You don’t how to handle certain situations until you’ve experienced them or done research
“How do you feed your dog?”
“Um like anyone would normally do?”
Ugh I’m so sorry you had to deal with that.
"I pop my magic cane and her food appears."
Like what a dumb question?
Dont be so sensitive,you know why asked it
@Brittany Bennett He was being a smartass
@Brittany Bennett LISTEN to how he says it. He is being an ass.
Brittany Bennett it seems to me like he struggled because maybe English isn’t his first language, and it may be frustrating because of the language barriers and that’s maybe why his questions don’t come across very well? Xxx
Thank you for taking an uncomfortable situation into a teaching moment for us and the Uber Driver.
Woah. Honking to your Uber guest is rude when they're sighted. Nevermind honking at someone who is blind or disabled in any way.. my goodness. It's amazing how well you handled that. Thank you for sharing ♥️
He said "many times" when you ask if he has ever helped a blind person before i call bs on that if he did like he said then he should have known better i hope you filed a complaint on him. And your dog is such a good girl and so smart she was clearly concerned for you.
Filling a complaint isnt always good ...sometimes you just need to teach people with simple words..being a jerk leads to other problems
@@spirosgal1885 filling a complaint is not being a jerk with most business they have to receive 3 complaints before they do something about it, sure talking with the person is often enough but if he does not listen then it does no good and if a complaint is never filed they he will continue on being a jerk to other people simply because he just does not care so yes it is good to talk to the person, but report it as well.
@@macgabhann1108 but its nice to give people chances not everyone deal with disabilities or blindness/visually impaired people everyday so they are not educated on it. there is no need to file a complaint on someone who doesn't know something.
MacGabhann yea
Goldn Haze Ignorance isn’t a excuse for lack of common courtesy or discrimination of any kind. He knew she she was blind (days he works with blind people every day) .. It’s not the public’s job to educate everyone. He knows better not to grab strangers without permission right? Or at his age we need to teach him that too.. whether she was blind or not you don’t repeatedly honk at someone & not let them know your their Uber.
I wish you had a personal driver Joy... I worry about you out there!
Omg...that Uber was awful. Good thing you put him in his place. He needed to know that was not okay!
Mel Mel I know thank you, hopefully he learned a thing or two after my eye-opening ride. Hope to never have a ride this odd again. But you know, something good came from it, an educational moment not just for him, but for so many people who will be watching my video for years to come all over the world! Love educating and bringing awareness to blindness and guide dogs. :-)
He was rude, impatient. Can we just have a specific blind service that insurance pays. That's available 24 hrs. Come on america!
Why are you expecting America to do shit? No one in other English speaking countries like Americans, and I'm talking about newer generations, they get made fun of shit when they go there, it's because no one actually likes America its just a show on our side lmaoo
Maybe in very large cities that'd be possible, but most wouldn't have enough blind people to make something like that worth the effort. I think uber should offer special training for disabled. Maybe an online course, and your profile gets a special badge when you've completed it. Then disabled people could request someone with the badge.
i love that you educated him and were really direct and kind about it but i don't appreciate everyone bashing him. it did not come off as him being impatient or rude, i think he genuinely did not know what to do and in the end he apologized and heard Joy out. Not every blind person has a guide dog.... how do y'all know how many blind people he knows? Sheesh.... ANYWAY, I really love your videos, Joy! Thanks for sharing your experience, always.
This channel giving me whole new perspectives of the difficulties that arise
What a rude Uber driver. Made me mad seeing that. I liked the way you handled him, though. He didn't even apologise for his behaviour. Anyway, Joy, God bless you and your family. Get well soon, Georgiana 💗💗💗💗
He did apologize at 10:24
He obviously doesn’t speak English well. He’s trying to communicate the way he can. I know his behavior didn’t come up very well but it’s the language barrier. People are so mean. Turned me off the channel. My parents have been talked to demeaningly as well. Like I get it. I agree he was a bit rude but she also came across as condescending. Made me mad because I’ve witnessed my parents being talked to like that.
@@oldaccount8478 In the beginning it was not about the language barrier, he was just rude.
Ka Ma look i said I get it. But she was being super rude and condescending as well when the guys was trying really hard to understand!
Your dog is adorable!
Thank you so much, I think so too :-)
Joy: Have you ever helped someone who is blind?
Driver: Yes, so many times.
Obviously, he learned a lot from that. Not. 🙄
So many times... yet he's never seen a guide dog... hmmmm
I’m so proud of how you educated him. We could definitely hear the fear in your voice when he touched you. Honking at any person is very unprofessional and rude.. especially to a blind or disable person. Even when you were taking to your subscriber he was getting impatient. HE CAN WAIT! That is his job! Please be very careful getting into these Uber’s. I would’ve flat out not gotten into his car! I am so glad you made sure he was a uber driver though. I think a lot of the situation had to do with miscommunication as you could tell he could barely speak or understand English.
the thing is it is a common thing . i use lyft and the same thing happens to me and I have sight.
That Uber gave me pure anxiety. Idk how you do it.
6:50
Arabella is not having it with this uber driver
He said he had have helped people that are blind before but he probably did a terrible job
I doubt he has every helped a single blind person. "yes I do it every day" mhmm sure
If you did it every day you would probably do a better job LOL
@@sarahbrennan545 When he was talking about it it seemed that the person he was helping wasn't blind enough to stop them from having an active life so he probably is just not experienced with the completely blind.
The APS Life yeah! Or he lied 😆 cause if I ever do Uber or something well when me is older :p if I get a blind person getting my Uber I’ll help them correctly like I’ll talk to them all good then I’ll do all the stuff like tell them where the car is even probably tap on my car to let them know where it is
‘How do you feed your dog?’ Made me laugh 😂 what did he expect haha is there any way to feed your dog other than putting food in a bowl?
I think he thinks that the dog has a dog as well who feeds the dog
There are weird people feeding their dogs with forks, so yeah, there are other ways. 😂
@@MrNasiem I'd love to see that. 😂
kuschelfreddy me 2 but now i have been awake for a whole night thinking who would feed the second dog 😥
Nasiem Ashruf it would just be an endless line of dogs feeding each other 😂
You’ve changed my perspective on life. Seeing the joy you get out of simply finding the exit at Target it absolutely beautiful.
Awe, that is so incredibly sweet of you to say! Are you a new subscriber? I love receiving comments like yours, thank you again, so happy I brightened your day! Many blessings :-)
5:05 makes you want to jump through the screen and say *HALT* ✋
Edwin...I had a driver literally grab my Walker out from under me right when they walked up to me...it took allot for me not to punch them in the face. 😋😒...I just told the person I still needed my Walker to get in the car...Sooo, I feel this one sooo much!...I hate when people grab for you or your stuff...I understand maybe they are trying to help...But as a disabled individual, I want to do as much as I can and when I need help, I'll ask...I don't need to be either coddled OR treated like nothing is wrong with me just because I do as much as I can until I can't.
@@-belue-6697 -Belue- -Myst-
Oh no,Without even asking?
I could imagine how that must've felt. My advice, if it happens a second time just make a fist, lock your arm back and say "touch my stuff again and watch". 😡 (joking)
I agree with you 100 percent, in my opinion that should be the gold standard.(Being considerate of others is very important)
Wow he was so rude....ugh that makes me so mad. Bless you for having such a polite personality and being so patient. Im sorry you have to deal with ignorant people like him...
You are such a beautiful and inspiring person. You deserve to have all the LOVE IN THE WORLD! Thank you for your courage.
you did a great job breaking it down and explaining it for him. some people never think about the stuff other people have to go through on a day to day
How amazing to meet such a sweet stranger and then to immediately encounter such an inconsiderate stranger in almost the same moment!
That is so true.
You sould get a GoPro dog mount! Great videos, love to see the world through a different perspective!
Omg.... Question of the year?!!!
.

.

How you FEED your dog??
If he asked me that I would say I put the food in my mouth and the dog eats out of my mouth
All the comments saying he was rude and creepy I think you should give this man the benefit of the doubt a bit more. He obviously hasn't helped a blind person into his car before and English obviously isn't his first language which you can tell he struggles with but is trying to make an effort to understand everything joyce is saying. It's good that he respected joyce when she said don't touch me and he realised straight away it wasn't the right thing to do. Everyone at some point in their life comes across another individual where there is that language barrier and it's always tricky to communicate. I'm sure for blind people it can be even trickier but he still tried his best to keep conversation to try make joyce comfortable. Hopefully he learns a little at least from this situation but the fact that he didn't know or doesn't understand doesn't make him rude or creepy.
Who honks at someone who is a foot away from them? I use uber all the time and NEVER has anyone honked like that. In fact they have called and or yelled out kindly. He also kept denying her saying that other blind people figured it out easier than her which is rude bc everyone is different.
I would agree with you, but the fact remains that she texted him and was pretty clear on what she was trying to convey to him.
You're AMAZING person. I love how you told him how to behave with blind person. ♥️💎 All the love and respect to you
Had a moment of panic thinking he might catch the dog's tail in the door.
Joy, you have taught me so much. Thanks. Each time I watch a show I appreciate more of your world!
Joy I recently discovered your channel and videos and I got so inspired. I am currently in a very depressive phase and too see you overcome every challenge really kindled a flame of inspiration in me. I am so emotional watching your videos and start to appreciate the fact that I am blessed with eyesight. You make it look so easy to live as a blind individual, I also know that it is not. Arabella is such a beautiful angle and she is so good at guiding you through your adventures. With great sadness I stumbled upon your videos of your first guiding angel Antonia and her passing. I really do believe that still from heaven she is guiding you and Bella. As from now on I will try to life my life with joy as much as possible and try to get out of the darkness I am currently experiencing. Much love to you, your gorgeous daughters, your lovely husband and of course your guiding angel. ❤️
The dogs is soooooo sweet. Thanks 🙏 for teaching us people about blind people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, you are so very welcome :-)
Just started watching your videos, and I recognized the area when you left the Target! Surprised to see you live here too!
LOL, it’s always funny when people recognize our area
Great job on remaining calm and educating the uber driver instead of expressing your discomfort 💖 truly inspiring!
Love how you stand your ground and not just let people grab you and push you into their car!
whushaw I love that too she is a very confident woman, and it’s great she has daughters that she will pass that onto
That Uber driver makes me so mad for not even trying to be helpful and touching you!!!! You are an angel for trying to educate him and being so kind❤️❤️
Joy you handled it so well. I was so upset and anxious watching the Uber driver.
"How do you feed your dog?"
Honestly. You're so kind and have so much energy to be educative, you're a blessing
You are so respectful and educate them. Perfect!
Good for you for being so patient with Him! I also have to do this on a daily basis with people who just don’t know how to approach those of us who have various degrees of blindness! Every moment is an educational moment!
Playing devils advocate.
yes he didn't understand English very well, and yes he has NO proper AMERICAN culture awareness. But I think he was just trying to guide her to the door. I have a blind guy come into my work every now and then, and when we were first meeting i had NO idea if i was supposed to gently brush his shoulder to let him know where I was, or to touch his wrist to guide him to a particular material that was stacked next to 30 other ones so he could feel for the right material.
It was a LEARNING experience and everyone is different. Im sure Joy has her own way of dealing with being touched, especially being a female and being blind. (The blind person I help is a guy). But before we know each other? It was fricken terrifying, you just want to help but end up doing the wrong thing.
So much respect ✊ for u I work retail and some people are nasty to me so sometimes I’m the same way back but u wow just the kindness you show and patients you showed this guy wow god bless u
Everyone is bashing the Uber driver ;( He obviously doesn’t speak very good English and is trying his hardest. Most people don’t know how to carter to the disabled.
Yea I noticed he was trying too. He was nervous. His English isnt good , he's using all the words he has which would explain why he asked how she feeds the dog. Hes listening. He's said sorry. He's asking questions to make sure he understands.
I’ve never commented before though I’ve watched your videos for the last few weeks. Arabella has the sweetest, kindest expression in that car. What a patient girl, she’s such a good dog! I love hearing your explanations and advice for the driver. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I wish more people were open and confident enough to educate for themselves and others that may have the same challenges. You’re my inspiration to try. I’ve started telling people why I’m not able to do certain things and how they can help if it seems like they’re willing. I used to be very bitter and embarrassed about my disability but your videos have made me realize that people are kinder than I ever expected. The world is a better place because of you. Thank you 🙏
8:00 it’s like this driver fell a minute ago off the moon and discovered the existence of blind people on earth
You can be proud that you are confident enough to explain and educate someone. You don't do it in an annoying way or anything like that. You're a fantastic person.
That uber driver frustrated me! The level of patience you have is amazing. Hope your daughter gets better 💕
Joy, you are an amazingly patient and well-spoken advocate. I know that must get tiring and is definitely frustrating, but thank you for the work you do to try and make things better for other blind individuals this driver might encounter in the future.
A lot of people are saying he was rude, which is not the truth. He is clearly from somewhere in Asia or the Middle East leading me to believe that he has never been exposed to something like a blind person and/or a guide dog. He is simply uneducated, not rude, there is a huge difference. The way Joy handled it was amazing by educating him instead of getting mad.
Love the little Whooooops of joy from you as Arabella guides you out of the store, makes me smile. Have a Wonderful Christmas and a happy 2020. xx
When she said Dont touch me, I felt so werid bc he is a stranger
I love this video. 👍🏻 I like how you kindly educate him on how to navigate picking up someone who is blind. Not everyone knows or has experience with blind people, so it’s nice to see someone educating people instead of just getting mad.
That uber driver freaks me out . He touched you was scary I don't think meant any harm but he was still rude but I don't think he ever meet anyone that was blind . But joy I always was wondering your guide dog will protect are a guard dog will if need be
@@adiyaparistheservicepartyp625 I understand that to different dog but I was wondering if dog still able to protect her.
@@aubreytaylorsversion I think u miss understood what in trying to say or I'm not expressing my self clearing I want to say something with out being miss understood . I no guide dog only guide and I dog guard dog are other kind dog. But I mean a pretty woman alone or in this situation that this guy meant harm will her dog can still protect her
he shouldve asked permission it was uncalled for and spooky
Ernest Minnix no the dog will not do anything to protect her. If the Uber driver attacked her the dog would most likely just sit there waiting for a command from Joy. Guide dogs are not trained at all to protect or attack.
@@wq198mnr I was just wondering but of course i don't no anything about this
What a journey! Love how you teach the Uber driver the correct way to help in a nice way . I could just watch Arabella all day , she’s a beauty!
The way you reacted to him touching you i felt that with my soul
People need to learn how to HELP people! It doesn’t take much! Maybe we should make it a point to TEACH this in schools, how to HELP others! You are so beautiful and am very amazed how calm you remain in these situations! ❤️
Thank you, I agree. I think we all need to learn how to look beyond our own situation to see others in need. Today people are so consumed with their own little world, I don’t think people are trying to be intentionally rude, just not aware.
Joy Ross you are absolutely right! It’s rush rush rush, mixed in with the fear of stepping out of their own comfort zone! That’s why I feel it should be taught in schools. Mandatory lessons on ALS and properly helping someone who can’t see! Then maybe caring would be apart of more people’s everyday life! You are so amazing for being so strong and dealing with such an assortment of people every single day, and handling it like a champ. Being forced to see the side of people that most of us don’t even realize exist, would make me crumble into pieces! You’re amazing ❤️
Arabellas eyes are gorgeous!!!😍😍😍
Very well spoken, love how you educated them while still being very polite about it 😊
On the good side, the Arabella car cam was so amazing 😩
She is so humble and very strong

It’s honestly crazy how much more respected a guide dog is by the general public. I have a mini dachshund service dog and everyone is always trying to distract him, must be the breed. Love you both heaps 💖
Oh my gosh I am so sorry you had to deal with this Uber driver. He seemed very uneducated about blind people and even some random things.. I hope you never have to go through this again. Made me very anxious watching this
Educating about limitations, disabilities and/or differences is always a on going chore/job. I have a seizure detection service dog. As a traveling RN, I’ve come to learn so much about cultural differences and how some communities, societies and countries have never interacted with people who have differences or service/guide dogs. I’m really glad you were so patient and calm when educating him. Too many of us become overly confrontational and loose a valuable moment to teach. I’m sure what you said will resonate with him as he processes it. I know I learn something new about guide dogs every time I watch one of your videos. Guide dogs are similar yet so very different than service dogs. Many don’t understand but I find most want to learn. Those who don’t, I just hope they heard something and enjoy the rest of my day.☺️
Thank you. 🐾❤️🐾
A lot of people are hating on this driver, but I don't see why. Not a lot of people know how to deal with a situation like this, and it seems like english wasn't his strong suit. He was very receptive to the advice she gave him and he was apologetic for not handling it properly. He is not that bad at the end of the day. You learn from your mistakes, he is human too.
I had no idea you have children too! Omg 😳 you are an incredible inspiration to everyone! You overcome soo many obstacles it’s amazing!!
The Uber driver clearly didn’t understand English too well and there’s an obvious barrier with regards to culture which I would think people would understand. I don’t think he handled it as well as he could’ve but people in the comments gotta chill it wasn’t THAT bad.
She made a huge effort to let him know beforehand that she was blind,it doesn't take an education just some manners would work.
Jemma joy like I said he’s clearly from a different culture where mannerism is different the guy is just trying to make a living yall gotta cut him some slack
Good on you for being so kind and trying to teach people the best way to approach things even when they are being inconsiderate ding dongs. You definitely have my respect! :)
"My neighbor. He's blind.. idk why he is very active" What is that even suppose to mean!?!? are blind people not allowed to be active? Ridiculous!
You'd think Uber would have a basic training class on how to assist a blind person, since a lot of blind people rely on Uber. So awesome you advocated for yourself and helped future blind customers (hopefully.)
Well, that was hard to experience. "I can't see, so I don't..." - "Come on in." In your position when he was honking at you and just didn't even listen, I already would have quit. Not seeing anything, not having someone listening and then just being touched would creep the hell out of me. Absolutely appreciate your patience in explaining though.
You are such an amazing woman, I lost my sight temporarily for a few weeks and i was ready to give up after a week and a half. I just don't know how you do it, but your are such an inspiration to others, and your girls, stay strong !
This was hard to watch. I'm sorry this happened
You are so patient and helpful explaining and educating people. And Arabella was so beautiful sitting there in the car with you. She was just staring at you with love in her eyes the whole time you were talking to the Uber driver.
Every time she says Arabela I think my mom is calling me xD
I am so impressed with Joy’s ability to work through these frustrating instances and continue communicating!
