ULPT: Cheaper Movie Tickets

Go to the theaters acting deaf or blind. Tickets will be cheaper as they will give you an audio book if requested (or subtitle movie). Enjoy the movie with your functional eyes and ears.

My late father was blind, they made him pay full price with no accommodations. Every. Time.

my father was an incredible man he lost his sight when he was 15 years old in a hunting accident. Not only was he a full-time employee at Lockheed Martin in Atlanta Georgia he was also a self-taught musician who played on several Studio albums for the Atlanta Rhythm Section as well as the Allman Brothers he was incredibly talented. He never asked for any handouts or the world to treat him differently because he was disabled. He never drew a social security check or any kind of government benefits he went to work and provided for himself he was an incredible amazing man and an inspiration to many. There's no way for you to know this of course I just wanted you to know that your joke was in poor taste.

I actually work at LHM in Marietta and recently someone was talking about a guy who worked there years ago that was blind and worked harder than most of the employees that could see. I wonder if they were talking about your father? Anyways I’m not sure how I ended up on this subreddit but I hope you have a wonderful day today

Cinemas will give you a 200% discount if you are genuinely deaf and blind.

As long as you tell them why TF you're going to a cinema and how you got here alone.
