Subway story

So I'm at the 59th street station, waiting for the 'C' train, and a man approaches me.

He points toward the staircase next to us and says " '1' train? Uptown?"

I look at the staircase and notice a giant sign above it that says " (1) UPTOWN"

I reply: "Yeah, that's what it says up there." Not in a rude manner, but more of a polite "are you blind?" kind of tone.

The man says: "Ok, thanks.... I'm blind."

This happened, I swear.
