Blind Spots

Today at work, I had a man come in wearing a cycling shirt and helmet. Pretty standard except for one thing, the guy was wearing an eye patch and clearly lost his eye at some point. We discussed cycling for a bit until:

Man: Yeah as a cyclist, I’ve been hit about a couple of times a year.

Me: Wow, people really need to keep an eye out for their blind spot when they’re driving.

Him: ……

Me: ….Yeahhhhh….

Would probably rate it in the top five awkward silences in my life.
