[BlindTlk] A question

[Mark Tardif]

I think that's a good question.  I also welcome it and frankly appreciate it 
when someone gently points something out to me, that maybe this is a 
see-through shirt or a shirt with a stain.  I prefer to know so I can make 
corrections.  How it's done and where it's done, however, I think are 
extremely important.  And I think this is not only true for blind folks, but 
for most people.  It's very much in how it's done.  But we know that the 
rest of the world looks at physical appearance first, that's just a fact.

I appreciate this conversation.  For those who have children, you know they
are quick and not always so tactful about pointing out things.  This
particular instance refers to the table manners of a friend who was
visiting.  It's a very sticky subject!  I would want to be told if my
manners offended someone so I could try to change them.  I also appreciate
being told if I have a shirt on that is stained, dirty or see-through.  I
would much rather know than have people talk about it behind my back.  My
mom was a stickler for good manners, good hygiene, etc. and I am glad she
was.  My question is how do you tell someone without offending them?  Pat,
thanks for bringing this matter to our attention.

What I'm thinking is most people who don't know you probably won't say
anything.  If they know you, depending on how well you know each other would
probably determine whether or not they said anything.

It does depend on the social skills of the person telling you.
