hi hello hey, we’ve got a spicy one for you!

If you have a visible disability or carry assistive tools like us, you’ve probably experienced the joys of interacting with the general public. At best, people are helpful and kind, but at worst, someone says something so shocking that you’re left wondering if they really just said that out loud.

Whether you’ve experienced it firsthand or not, we’re here to share our real-life stories of the wild things people have said to us about our disabilities. From the casual “You don’t look blind!” to the more cringe-worthy assumptions people make about our lives, we’re spilling all the tea.

It’s not just about the comments themselves but about how we navigate these awkward encounters with humor, patience, education, and sometimes, just a lot of eye rolls and fake smiles. Whether you’re someone living with a disability or just want to learn how to be more mindful in public, this episode is packed with relatable, frustrating, and even laugh-out-loud moments.

So grab your headphones and join us for a candid conversation about the things people say—and what we wish they wouldn’t.
