So why is it fun to be blind? We’ve got to learn to laugh at our misfortunes instead of crying over them, haven’t we? I’m all about fun: laughter is certainly the best medicine! And this article is all about fun facts about blindness.

20 Reasons It’s Fun To Be Blind
If someone is cooking you a meal, and decided not to tell you what it is, you get a food surprise with every bite.
Wearing dark glasses means you can stare at people and they’ll never know!
Walking into inanimate objects and apologising!
Saying hello back when someone says hello. No they weren’t talking to you!
You’ll never be asked to help people move, or redecorate their house.
You can’t see how messy your house is, so therefore it’s not messy. You can read in the dark: if it’s braille or read by speech of course!
You can use your blindness to get out of doing chores, even though you are perfectly capable of doing them!
You can play Eenie Miney Mo when you’re out in are choosing from the menu.
Every time you drop something, it’s a cross between Blind Mans Buff and playing treasure hunt like you did as a child!
No one is going to ask you to read a map on road trips: it’s not a fun journey until you get lost!
Every partner you have is a 10 out of 10!
Playing eye spy everywhere you go.
When you’re in a group of people and someone points and says look at that… The witty response is, I’m trying really hard but my eyes just don’t seem to be cooperating!
When people ask if you’re training your Guide Dog, you can tell them that yes they are part of a secret mission but it’s classified information.
No need to buy an extortionately priced and oversized TV: you can’t see it anyway!
Hoovering your house and when you’re finished, a voice says hello and you jump out of your skin… They’ve appeared from nowhere; It’s like magic!
You don’t have to look in the mirror and be greeted with your scary morning face!
You never see when something gross has just happened… Like your parents kissing 😉
No need to purchase a blind fold to spice it up in the bedroom… You’ve got one built in 😉
Not every person who is registered blind, or refers to themselves as blind, has 0% sight. I hope you can take this post for what it is, funny… and if not, maybe try some happy pills 😉
Much love, Sassy x
Great to laugh in the face of adversity; and brave too!
What a great, light hearted look* at the funny side of blindness.
*pun intended, in the spirit of things
A great way of dealing with life – dealing with negative things as positively as possible! 🙂 #Abitofeverything
Such a great post….This did make me chuckle but I feel bad for laughing at blindness. It certainly does have some advantages! hehehe
Fabulous. I think your post is wonderfully positive and that you have very cleverly found the silver linings and shared a smile.
Love it as always

Hehe, this did make me chuckle (even if it really is totally not PC of me to do so!) But I have great admiration for you for smiling in the face of adversity, and turning around a situation that could so easily cause you to go the other way. Thank you so much for making me smile today, and for sharing this with us at #bigpinklink!
Such a great attitude to find positives (or at least funnies) in the face of something that can be so hard.

This is such a great post, Sassy! I enjoyed reading it very much. I agree with you – laughter is indeed the best medicine. #abitofeverything
This is wonderful positive postive post that made me chuckle-so thank you for that! I particulary like your disclaimer at the end – “I hope you can take this post for what it is, funny. And if not maybe try some happy pills” hehe 🙂
Great post, I enjoyed reading it.
Love the light hearted tone !
A great post, it’s probably not the pc thing to do, but I did laugh, especially at never helping people to move or decorate… now that is a REAL advantage, and the TV one too 🙂

lol It’s great that you have such a fabulous sense of humour about being blind. Your partner being a ten is such a good point! Thanks so much for sharing with blogger club uk xx
Brilliant!
I love that you can find the funny stuff too, I think everyone can learn a thing or two from that mentality!

Ahaha Sassy this has just made me smile!! I adore your attitude. I think it’s wonderful that you have found the funny side. #fortheloveofBLOG
I love this post, your sense of humour is admirable, and what an amazing attitude to have! I think you have to laugh don’t you? If we allowed our misfortunes to consume us then life would be pretty miserable! Good for you! #FortheloveofBLOG
Great post Sassy. I love it that you are able to find the funny side being visually impaired. I particularly like the one where you can’t see how messy your house is and therefore it doesn’t matter 😊 #FortheloveofBlog
Haaaa this is hilarious, I love the way you’ve written this…it’s both mildly saracastic and incredibly wry without being offensive (in my opinion). Great point about the built in bedroom blindfold!! #fortheloveofBLOG
Fab post! Good to be positive in the face of such a challenge and some of these points really made me laugh – especially like number 12 🙂 Thanks for linking up to us on our first week – really hope you can join us again next week #fortheloveofBLOG
What a great take and great fun to read Sassy! I particularly giggled at the walking into inanimate objects and apologising one! #TheList
Oh Sassy, I do love your sense of humour. I must say though I bump into AND apologise to inanimate objects all the time! What does that say about me? Thanks for coming back and linking to #thelist again! xxx
Haha Sassy, I remember reading this post a while back but I still love it. My fave is that every partner is 10 out of 10 :- )#stayclassy
I love how you find the funny side to your blindness – what a great attitude to have! I love #6 – I’d love to pretend that my house isn’t messy! #stayclassy #triballove
I love this post. So positive and funny, it’s great to be that way – I wish I was! #stayclassy
I love this! What a great positive spin on something that could be taken very seriously. Absolutely loved every point but especially having a partner that looks 10 out of 10 every time ; ) haha. Thanks for sharing with #StayClassyMama!
Shut the front door! This is HILARIOUS! Go you for comedic genius!
This made me giggle. Which I needed on this horrible Sunday morning. Thanks for making me smile Sassy.
