You couldn't make it up.

Many years ago, I was cycling after dark and a woman stopped me to ask
whether I could see a bollard on a cycle way. I simply answered "no,
you
have to know it's there". I would have had a Never Ready front lamp at
that
time. The answer satisfied her and we didn't engage in further
conversation.

Don't make assumptions.

Are you ****ing blind or something?

Are you stupid or something? I doesn't occur to you to wonder why a woman
might be standing in near darkness waiting to ask someone?

She was out walking her dog, saw the bollard, saw the cyclist, and assumed
he was blind?

No. It is not possible to convey the tone of the conversation in text but
I'm surprised it is needed. I know it's difficult but you should try to
distinguish real world from newsgroup world. Should you go outdoors the sky
will not fall on your head.
