Today, at my all-night senior party, I was talking to the blind girl who I haven't had classes with since 9th grade. I unthinkingly opened the conversation with "Nice to see you again." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a girl said hi to me very enthusiastically at school, and I heard her friends laughing afterward. I was too lazy to put in my contact lenses this morning so I couldn't tell who it was. FML
Today, I forgot my blind date's name 3 times during our conversation. FML
Today, I ran into an attractive friend of a friend who I hadn't seen since a night out last month. I tried my best to be friendly and interesting, but he still seemed awkward. Later I find out that last time he saw me, I was blind drunk and vomiting after propositioning him all evening. FML
Today, I recently graduated from high school and I went to a college party. I met these girls and told them I graduated college already, to sound cool. I then heard one of them say, "I went to middle school with you, and I was in your math class." FML

Today, I met an old friend from high school and his hot girlfriend. I jokingly said she must be blind to go out with him. His response: "Yeah, she is." FML
Today, I saw a cute girl at a night club. When I approached her and introduced myself, she said "Don't you remember me? We danced here last weekend... but you were smashed that night". I cheekily replied "Oh really? That's hot, what happened next?" She said "You were hitting on me. So, I left." FML
Today, I went out to lunch with two old friends from high school. While at the restaurant, we saw a girl who we graduated with. The girl gave both of them hugs, then introduced herself to me. FML
Today, I started college after a night out. I'd got tipsy at the club and started dancing with a cute guy. He asked for my number. I didn't want to give it to him, so I gave him a rejection number. Guess who's the new professor for my bio class? And yes, he recognized me. FML
Today, I had to go to the mall for a quick errand. While there one of my friends who works at a phone booth was there and I stayed for a little bit chatting with him. While chatting, a girl passed by. She was so pretty that I blurted out, "What a woman!" out loud. Turns out it was my ex. FML

What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea.

There's nothing wrong with saying that. It's a common expression and I'm sure that she has no problem with it.

I'm totally blind myself and it drives me absolutely crazy when people walk on eggshells around me or try and come up with creative ways to avoid saying the words "blind", "see", "watch", and so on. I watch movies, and I say "see you later". Just be normal. She'll appreciate you a lot more.

No offense but, how did you read and comment on this fml if you are completely blind?

There are several ways. 1. JAWS. 2. Zoomtext. 3. Voice Over. 4. Microsoft magnifier. 5. A braille display. 6. Whatever Galaxy is calling their screen reading technology. I personally use the Microsoft magnifier a vast majority of the time, and JAWS for long readings. I also use Voice Over on my phone. Also, don't worry, there is no way that came out as offensive. (Not sarcastic) It is a very common misconception. Two things you can more safely assume about blind people, we're horrible spellers, and have bad gag reflexes.

Other people may feel differently about this, but in general, blind people feel like they're equal to sighted people in the world, and talking about or to them like they're less of a person or blindness is a terrible thing is actually more offensive than just treating them normally.

While I mostly agree with your first comment, I need to point something in this one. "Blind people feel like they're equal to sighted people." Excuse me, I am blind, and I don't feel equal, I am equal. For a totally blind persona, this is a big word mix up you made. O.P. Take it from someone that has been legally blind since birth. What you said is in no way offensive, and if you did make it awkward, I'd expect her just to rub it in a little. 99% of blind people wouldn't get offended by this. As others have said, it's just a figure of speach, and technically, you did see her again, even though she couldn't see you. I say "See you later" all the time, the only person I say "Feel you later" to would be my girlfriend, and only when I'm sure she can't hear me. Sorry about the long winded comment. In short, O.P. don't worry about a thing. #33, watch what you say.

Don't feel bad, you were just trying to be nice and phrases like that are so much a part of our language it's not as if people take them literally.
