Believable.

A blind friend just quit a job working in a store that sells products to the blind.
He tried it for one month.
The company did NOTHING to make the store blind friendly.
The shop was in a bad choice location - in a huge office complex - you enter the building by pressing a button among many with no distinguishing features.
If you should find your way to the shop, once inside nothing is braille-blind friendly unless the box came that way from the manufacturer.
He was pretty useless to the business and quit.

Funny in an ironic sort of way.

It would be especially ironic when read by some vision-challenged person's text-to-voice software as they sit at their desk.
