  • How come he looks at the phone to press the "read outloud button." hes not blind its a bunch of b.s. All he has to do is memorize the buttons!!

  • is it legal to text and drive if my eyes never leave the road? (im not blind, but curious....) i have a phone like him where u gotta hit the keys so many times for one letter (chart=222#44#2#777#8) so i memorized the keys and the number of keystrokes for each letter. so is it legal for me to text and drive if my eyes never leave the road?

  • @dobba1890 I don't know about every state in the Union....but it's not legal in Massachusetts. If a cop catches you texting and driving, you get a ticket no matter what the circumstances are; looking at it or not.

  • @dobba1890 petes right. its the same in georgia. ur not evn supose to be on ur phone at all while driving. they dont evn want ppl using blue tooth if i remember right. but of course if u keep it in ur lap or at ur side n not looking at it who will notice? i see cops all the time txting and driving so they shud inforce the rules on themselves b4 they force them on us but of course thats nvr guna happen.

  • I can already text without looking... it's not difficult; but fair dues for a blind dude ;D

  • Am I the only one who noticed how hot he is... Like if you agree

  • Cool Story Bro

    

  • Legally blind doesnt mean he is what most people think of. If you have to say legally chances are you could see with some hefty glasses. My mum is legally blind but wears glasses out of which she can see perfectly. This is still pretty cool though. GET SOME GLASSES PETE.

  • @SirSpicyIII Thanks. And thanks for being the 0.05 percent of people that actually heard and understood what I was saying here. Unfortunately, glasses won't help though. I suffer from macular degeneration. My eyes are actually fine....they just don't get the message to the brain. so I'm stuck the way I am.

  • @penthousej Man that stinks. Seems like you're living a pretty good, normal life though. Best of luck to you!

  • I can do that. I bet I can do it faster ;D I walk down hall ways and text and whenever Im talking to someone I text and talk. I mess up once or twice every like thirty texts. x3

  • why the fuck are wearing a watch if you cant see a street sign????

  • @96chriscole96 because I can put my watch right up to my face and I'm not gonna climb a pole to do the same for a street sign. Again...legally blind is different from legally blind. Thank you for your question. Not sure why the profanity was needed though. My video must have been quite upsetting to you for some reason.

  • @penthousej But If Your Blind How Did You Read This Comment ?

  • @candicechapman123 LARGE print font

  • @penthousej Oh I See ,,I Thouqht You Ment Your Like Fully Blind ,Like A Motha'Fuckin' Bat On Crack That Shits On Turtles &Makes Love To Bears That Eats The Poraqe In There Lovely Little Apartment .That Is In North Carolina Which Lives A Prostitute With AIDS Who's Name Is Hery That Has A Car That She Stole From An Old Flea That Eats Worms For Breakfast . I Think I Just Misheard You Thouqh .

  • @candicechapman123 Yup. Just legally blind...though I use the word "just" very lightly....'cuz it still super sucks

  • I don't care what anyone says. He's legally blind and I think he's amazing. Good job Pete.

  • Why do all of you ppeople have to say something and try to prove this man wrong i could believe it that hes LEGALLY blind because after he texts behind his back he struggles to find the speaking button Why doesnt everybody just put a good comment saying how good of a texter he is and how he overcame a problem and move on! good job man only if all these people knew how to listen rather than post a comment before the video is over... Congrats!!!

  • he said he see all these ppl i though he was blind

  • 1) he said he SEES people texting by looking at their phone

    2) he's looking directly at the camera

    3) he has a freaking watch

    He's not blind

  • @karlofalls all 3 of your brilliants observations have been addressed about 20 times in each this post. You can feel free to scroll through and read any of those prior explanations....or....you can take a closer listen to when I say I'm "legally blind"....which does not mean COMPLETELY blind. Good Lord...I've literally said that 100 times in this post. Why people keep trying to prove me a liar I don't understand. I guess we just live in a very syndical world.

  • @karlofalls you are so stupid..do you even understand what legally blind even means?! god..people these day

  • imma way faster texter!!!

  • I don't think he's blind but he could be having some one send him the text!!''??

  • Hes not blind he said he wouldent see a street sign then how was he looking directly at the camera

  • @Therm522 close your eyes...put something down....now walk five feet away from it. Do you remember where you put it? it's not really the most clever trick in the book. Even a completely blind dude could pull that one off....which I'm not. I'm legally blind....but the trick still works for me.

  • i believe he can text that fast but i dont believe hes blind no offense

  • he texts faster than me and i'm not blind

  • how do you see texting competitions, and how the people look, if you're blind?

  • @extra330Sweet I never said I was blind. i said i was legally blind. Please see the response video for more info....or any number of the other posts asking the same question. This seems to be a VERY common misconception. Thanks

  • impossible

    

  • this guy isnt blind, ive seen blind people before and how they act and this guy isnt one of them

  • @ericzxvc Yup. You nailed it. I'm not blind. Never said I was. Watch again. I said LEGALLY blind.  Pretty clearly actually. ....and there's a big difference. One just sees REALLY REALLY bad. the other doesn't see at all.

  • @penthousej How are you reading what he says...

  • @xmodh212 Large print font

  • @penthousej I thought you said you were completely blind, not partially..

  • @xmodh212 I never said that. I said "legally" blind. Watch it again. It's pretty clear. You're not the only one to think that though. I've got like 150 comments of people asking how a blind guy can see. A blind guy can't. A legally blind guy can....just really badly.

  • @penthousej You may want to put a note in your video explaining what being legally blind means.=) A lot of people apparently don't know, lol.

  • @MrMDK128 I posted a reply video to this one doing just that.

  • @penthousej Most people won't see the reply video. I wasn't aware that there was one until you mentioned it. A annotation inserted onto the video with a small paragraph explaining the whole legally blind thing will cut down on the comments asking why you can see. This is of course just a suggestion. Just trying to help.

  • @MrMDK128 the suggestion is most appreciated. I honestly get a kick out of this whole thing though. Every day I get angry people spouting off at me about how I'm NOT blind....when I really, truly & honestly never said I was. Growing up legally blind I kinda took it for granted that people knew what it meant. I guess not...and that's fine. I've just been surprised at all the vitriol about it. At first, It kinda bummed me out. Now I just laugh about it.

  • Let me DE-FRAG this video PLEASE: Why ddi you @2:52 say 'I SEE all these people, these speed-text-competition-people.­..and they just LOOK ridiculous.' So uhm... you say YOU'RE LEGALLY BLIND? So then how do you get to hate if you can't see? *Just curious. You're SO COOL when you're COCKY! not!

  • @relentless I haven't seen ayone use ..."not"..since 1986, so that was pretty cool. As for how I "see" them. Please read the 153 responses elsewhere on this site where I explain that being LEGALLY blind does not mean that I am COMPLETELY blind. It just means that I have really sucky eyesight.  Really, really, unfixably sucky eyesight. But I can still spot a tool a mile away.

  • how do you know where the camera is?

  • @kericsoccer823 it's right where I put it. Put a camera down...close your eyes....and walk 5 feet away. I'm sure you could find it, too. And mind you, I'm not ENTIRELY blind...so that made the task even easier. Hope that didn't take too much of the mystery out of the feat for ya : )

  • @penthousej damn kid your good, well i shouldnt really call you a kid cuz obviously your not and im 14 but dude thats nutsssssss

  • does your computer talk to you to?

    and how do you use the key board?

  • @702sincitybabe My computer CAN talk to me. Everyone's can. Both Mac & PC have a NARRATOR function. As for the keyboard...I learned in 8th grade typing class to type without looking at it. It's a handy skill...since I can't see it anyway.

  • @penthousej i didnt know that the computers have a narrator thats cool... and i think thats pretty awesome you can type without looking... i have been trying since 6th grade and im in the 11th now..im just barley starting to type without looking.

  • @702sincitybabe it is EXTREMELY useful to be able to type without looking. Legally blind or not...so keep at it. And depending on what computer you have, Narrator should be an option on your standard system. On Windows, click start, Programs, Accessories, Ease of Use and then NARRATOR. The voice takes some getting used to....but it does the job.

  • When he's not texting he's probably having sex

  • This guy is fake and a homo

  • @loves2sploosh Bet he can kick your ass with his eyes closed... LMAO

  • how bout you put the right description in the video title, you are not the world's fastest texter, you should have put, Crazy Texting Technique

  • this is crazy, dude. i admire this.

  • thats what any other teenager does

  • how r yu blind but figured out how to put this vid on youtube

  • This guy sucks im so much more faster than that. And i can do it without looking at all. Ill post a video just to show u all

  • how can u read these coments then or does some 1 read them 4 u and im a pretty fast texter 2 maby as fast as u but i can do it blindly 2

  • omq u could posibly be blind!

  • how does he see what the people who are in speed texting competitions look like if he's legally blind, plus, how does he look straight at camera and phone screen AND how does he know if the girl he met is in his league?????

    i say that he's not "there was a street sign?" legally blind, but he is "i cant read that street sign" legally blind.

  • how do we know how he is not just typeing anything???

  • I need to learn how to do that ! =D

  • Kind of ironic how someone that doesn't drive has suggestions for other motorists to avoid getting into car accidents from texting while driving

  • The blind-EST.

  • im kinda legally blind too xP i got that gene from my mom, almost everyone has to wear glasses, and my eyes are getting worse, i cant see anything without my glasses, even if its right in front of me... xP BUT IM NOT BLIND BLIND, im lik him... o.o he isnt blind either, so stop the nasty comments... he just cnt see well lik me o.O duh

  • wow

  • He should be a narrator.

  • you look ripped but why ask questions you know

  • What a douche.

  • whoa he textes soo much it he doesnt even need to look

  • if u are blind then how can u c all the other people speed txting ??? FAKE..........

  • dude ur strong

  • holy shits hes cool

  • idc what he see's or cant see your a beast hands down

  • Talent.

  • ur hot

  • Thats totally koo:)))

  • lol , I texted like that since I was in high school, which is 8 years ago =)

    because I was not allowed to text or play with my phone in a lecture, so, I have to text under the desk , and thats how I do it hehehe

    good job!

  • did he say that he SEES all these people that keep looking at their phones in  a texting competition? lol

  • @ogutu2 don't feel bad, you're like the 300th person that thinks they spotted a flaw in this video...but if you read any of the 100 explanations in these comments or watch the response video....you'll understand. Just note the term "LEGALLY" blind.

  • @ogutu2 yes he did!!

  • u got brolic 4 text messaging? =l

  • i feel really sorry for blind people

  • I’m sure that people like Halle Berry, Randy Jackson, Bob Hope, author Stephen King, Hacksaw Jim Duggins, billionaire Steve Wynn and others who suffer from the same eye disease that I do really appreciate your sympathy. Our lives are so much worse than yours.

  • @penthousej yh well my younger brother who is 12 now is blind and i suppose i cant even imagine wat it must b like

  • are u good in iphone?

  • @7711731 nope. I'm terrible at it. It's not a very tactile device at all. I kinda need to feel what I'm doing to be any good at it.

  • i like how he isnt even blind in the first place xD

  • Would corrective lenses or surgery help significantly?

  • i cant do this :DD but only with Full Keybaord xD

  • wait how the fuck do you know how they do it?????? if your blind then how do you know how they text and even reenact it?

  • lol. wether hes a texter or not. hes hot. i want him :D

  • this is what happens when you're single too long with no choice....lol

  • I used to be able to text without looking on my old phone where each number was assigned like 3 letters. It's a bit tougher with the new full keypad (mostly because im still getting used to it

    ).

  • how did u learn to do that and good luck because ur blind

  • he was playing a song?!?!...i neva knew that lmao!

  • that is sweet

  • he contradicts himself so much.. "legally blind"? but he says he's "seen" the people in the TV competitions texting and they "look" ridiculous... FAIL... i can text faster than that anyway... but its a good try and itd trick most people who dont really think so much about the video...

  • It never fails to absolutely astound me how many people do not know what LEGALLY blind means. Even though I've posted a response video about it and have said this same thing about a dozen times in these comments right here....it does not mean COMPLETELY blind. It means REALLY BAD vision. But yes, even with my legally blind eyes, I can still watch TV. Granted, it's a 120 inch screen...but I can still see it.

  • @penthousej

    Haha you explained that really well, but um.... wow 120"? Gosh I'm jealous xD

  • @penthousej Wow, nice t.v.

  • @penthousej theres no type of glasses you can wear to even increase your vision a bit?

  • @Hiddenmyst1 it's not really an "eye" problem per-say. Glasses correct malformaties in the actual eeyeball. The macular is at the very back of the eye. Wearing glasses would be like trying to fix a flat tire by waxing your car.

  • @penthousej oh ok i understand thanks for the info

  • @penthousej how do you read and reply to comments then

  • @ilikepenguins100 didnt you hear him, his phone reads it to him, damn stupid people these days

  • @masik7290 really? his phone reads his youtube comments and his replies to him? that cheap ass phone reads youtube to him? actually pay attention to what i said before you try and talk shit dumbass. damn stupid people these days.

  • "I see all these people"? How if your blind lol?

  • i could do that! ;D no lie

  • man u r so good @ textin lol

  • Man, you must text alot.

  • lol he says i see all these texters trying to be the fastest... how does he see them?

  • @MrTank116 he can see but not good like you and i

  • that is intense... the first 30 seconds were very boring

  • this guy is cool

  • kind of confusing you said you see people texting looking stupid ...arent you blind...

  • LMAO of course you can't drive. Don't take that offensive.

  • Awesome!

    

  • if you cant see how can you respond to our posts

  • by using LARGE print font

  • @penthousej what do you mean large print font, u are able to see like large texts?

  • @TheFlamingCaterpilla

    the question was not "how can you read texts" it was "how can you respond to our posts". The answer "by using LARGE print fonts" means just that. I blow up the font. In your broswer, fold down the SHIFT key and scroll the intelawheel up. It makes everything on the page HUGE Huge enough that even i can read it. You can make everything go up to about 100 pt. font.  Thus, even a LEGALLY blind dude like me can read it.

  • @ncaawrestler4life Pwnd ^^

  • Dude guess what! I'm also legally blind! wow finally someone who's like me. PM me if you want to know more about my story. I can also text with out looking.

  • cool xD

  • That's awesome. Nice vid :-) i am good at texting i don't think i can text without looking or text behind my back because i have the blackberry storm 1 and its all touch and click screen

  • So he learned how to text like this for some chick? Damn, the power of pu55y.

  • omg....

  • Guys, he's legally blind! Not fully blind. Legally blind means you see very small! He just can't read without a microscope! Gosh he can still see people just not read! Gosh you'll haters!

  • lol nice shirt

  • at minute 1:44 he starts looking a bit off the camera.. so that prooves he's blind :P
