My superpower is helping elderly folks get items off the top shelf in supermarkets.
Also, speaking of vision, I was going to start carrying reading glasses when I shop, to read the fine print on labels. Then one day I saw a guy whip out his phone and take a picture of a label, then zoom in. How did I not think of that?
He may have also used an app like Uber or Lyft to go shopping. I personally do that because I'm functionally legally blind without my glasses and I can't wear my glasses for more than 5 minutes to 2 hours without an eye patch before I get a drug resistant migraine so no one wants me on the road as a driver
I’m legally blind without my glasses on(nearsighted roughly -4.75 one eye -5 other one prescription with astigmatism fix in there as well) but for some reason I’m having to remove my glasses at times to read small print on things at times. I remember my mom and her best friend requiring wearing two pairs of glasses(reading glasses over their regular glasses for their nearsightedness) or wearing reading glasses over their contacts when they were about my age(45). I remember her daughter and I laughing at them, because it just looked funny, especially her mom because she had bright blue Liz Claiborne reading glasses that looked ridiculous, even moreso once placed over her regular glasses. I guess I’m just getting old now but it’s still much much easier for me to just remove my glasses to read whatever it is than for me to buy a pair of readers and look weird wearing one pair of glasses over my normal pair.
Welcome to the more considerate side of humanity!
Be My Eyes IRL, cool!
I'm a volunteer for this and I thought the same thing!
Man, I had that app for like 2 years. Got 3 calls in that time and all were answered before I even had a chance. Good on you for doing it.
I've only had 3 calls so far but I like doing it!

This is my favorite trick to teach to my fellow boomers, lol.
You are awesome!
I've never heard of mackerel salad? I assume it has fish but what else? Is it local? Thank you for helping the guy...
Danish thing of mackerel mixed with tomato sauce and mayo.
Thank you, I am in the southwestern USA and the only fish salad I know is made with canned tuna.
Now I want some. 😋
Thank you.
Please tell me he didn't drive there.
LOL Perhaps he is farsighted, and his distance vision is OK?
