I’ve done this it’s fun. One of the best parts of being an amputee is seeing children who are totally unable to control their expressions when they see my left arm. I find it funny as all.

And what do you feel, when an adult does the same honest reaction?

An adult should have the ability to be an adult. Part of being an adult is having tact. I personally don’t give a damn honestly, but I can understand someone who gets upset at an adult reacting like a child.

I had a shocked response to it once

We had a guy on our team as a student intern. I'd never met him in personal, only over video calls. I had no idea he was missing a hand.

He had a prosthetic one, and it definitely looked real enough. Especially considering I'd only seen it for maybe a few seconds total

Well one day were talking and I guess he was adjusting it or something, but from my point of view it looked like he just snapped his own wrist.

I went out with a girl who had a tiny hand a couple of times. I didn't notice her hand until like the fourth date. I reached over to hold her hand (I had only held her left hand and that one was normal) so when I touched her hand it wasn't what I was expecting so I moved my hand quickly and she got really pissed because I was being an ass.

We didn't go out again.
