My Experience with 2 Blind Men

Here's something I never experienced before, one of those things that caught me off guard completely. Happened about a month back.

Knocked off work, alighted at Clementi MRT station. There was this pair of blind men who alighted as well. They were trying to make their way down the escalator to the bus stop. Since no one was helping them, I brought them down to the bus interchange and to the Bus 284 queue. It was empty initially. I offered to accompany them since they would not be able to see the number of the bus that is approaching the berth.

10 minutes later, a long queue had since formed and without warning, one of the blind guy nudged is way out of the queue. His blind partner followed along. Puzzled, I asked them where they were going to but did not get a reply.... afraid that they might get into an accident, I followed them out of the queue.

The next thing I knew, the first blind guy unzipped his pants and started peeing on the spot...... Gee... for that 5 seconds or so, I was quite stunned....... din know how to react. He relieved himself right in the middle of a bus interchange and at the queue. Feeling quite embarassed and still unable to stop him.... I just stood there waiting. Could feel the blood rushing to my face as everyone was looking at him and me.

Luckily, the bus came along and gave me a chance to divert the attention and get them on the bus. Pretty interesting experience though......
