Call with a universal credit agent a couple of days ago.
'So can you upload a CV?'
'Yes sure, I can do that.'
'How will you do that, can you use a computer?'
'Yep, no problem.'
'How do you do that, do you use bra-lay?'
'What?'
'Bra-lay.'
'Oh, you mean Braille?...'
'Yes, yes. Braille. That's it.'
'Well, I can read braille but I will use a screen-reader.'
'Oh, you use a screen-reader?'
Yep, that's how my call went. I've heard of some weirdness in my time but 'Bra-lay' for Braille, that, is a special kind of special right there.
@FreakyFwoof Oh no, how funny / ridiculous! I bet you were holding your tongue there, so tempting to say something sarcastic back haha!
@sarahmatthews That, and I was a little bit pissed off too.
@FreakyFwoof @sarahmatthews Wel... from your awful call, I now have a track name. Thank you useless UC agent.
@FreakyFwoof @sarahmatthews get ready for all kinds of misconceptions about screenreaders too. something doesn't work with a screenreader because it's inaccessible? get ready for, "just increase the font size."
