one of the most horribly guilty episodes of my life
when I was hurrying down King Street in Cambridge one day, there was a blind man standing outside a shop minding his own business.
I was stressed, late, and in a massive hurry to get to somewhere I'd never been before and wasn't quite sure of the location of.
Said chap was the only person about and so, in my dithering state, I rushed up to him and said 'Excuse me, have you seen...(question about whereabouts of pub trails off into horrified silence)'
He just shook his head - I muttered an apology and went on my way. I still feel mortified thinking about it. I just really hope he knew I wasn't taking the piss, and genuinely am that daft.
