Pardon me, Madam, but do you have the time?
Only a few people know that I am slightly hearing-impaired. It isn’t serious, just the result of various occupations I have held over the years. I don’t consider it a disability since I have hearing aids. They seem to be a bit overpowered since when I first got them, I walked down the street and marveled at how well I could hear. I passed various houses and could hear who was fighting and who… well, who was not fighting. We’ll leave it at that.

When I was 14, I separated my iliac crest and was wheelchair-bound for about a month. Years later, during a pack test for firefighting, I injured myself. I’m not sure what happened, but it felt like a thermonuclear case of shin splints. I ended up in the ER and could not walk for a week and a half. I then spent over a month walking with a cane, and it took me five minutes just to step up on a curb. Forget stairs. I healed up, but I still drag one foot now and then. I never considered myself disabled, but those two incidents were brushes with disability and helped me form a healthy respect for people who live with those issues. You cannot be disabled and be a wuss.

With that in mind, I submit the following video. I’ll just let the evidence speak for itself.

Okay, two things. One, yes young lady, you are entitled. Second, the word you are looking for is not “time blind.” “Lazy,” comes to mind; see also: “thoughtless,” “careless,” and possibly “egocentric.” Being time blind is apparently Gen Z’s code for “I am the center of the universe.” The tears in her eyes say it all. Just out of curiosity, Miss, if you called an ambulance and the crew arrived just as you were on the edge of coding out, would you accept time blindness as an excuse? Nah. Didn’t think so. The ratios from people who are not time blind swiftly arrived and included:

Mrs. Liberty is time blind, whenever we need to get out of the Castillo to go into town.

Reminds me of the "Everybody Loves Raymond" episode when Debra isn't ready and Ray leaves and goes to the award show without her....meanwhile she gets a curling iron stuck in her hair.

The event that girl described in the video, I would be willing to bet that it never happened.

It sounds like something directly from the neurodiversity social media cliques that demand workplace accommodations for everything. (For the record, "time blindness" is a symptom most commonly associated with ADHD.)

The obvious solution is for her to be self-employed.  That way, she's her own boss and can be as late as she wants.

She is probably a Feminist Art History Major....

This sounds like cultural appropriation to me, specifically Indian time.

Noun. (Americas, uncountable, sometimes derogatory, slang) A notional system of time which others sometimes derogatorily ascribe to Indians (Native Americans), and which they sometimes jocularly ascribe to themselves, to account for their supposed tendency to be leisurely, not rigorous about scheduling, and often tardy ...
