As someone who has been wearing glasses since they were in second grade, who has had a wide range of glasses frames, colors, and prescriptions, At first I hated my glasses. It was an additional responsibility for a 7 year old to have, and I was having a hard time keeping up with my neopets and making sure I eat all my vegetables. Over the years I have learned to accept my glasses, but there are some comments that make having glasses make me seem like I am somehow less of a person. Even day to day tasks sometimes make you feel like less of a person.
1. "Wow you are so blind!"
Yes, I understand that I don't have 20/20 vision like you. That doesn't mean I'm blind. I see blurry blobs.
2."You would look so much better without glasses. Have you tried contacts?"
Yes I have, and they burn. Or they are too thick to be comfortable. Or I DON'T LIKE THINGS IN MY EYEBALL..
3.Showers
Great. I have to worry about a serial killer murdering me in the shower AND i have to be blind for it. Thanks genetics.
4. Roller Coasters
If you wear them, you're terrified that they'll fly off your face and end up in some kids popcorn. If you don't the whole ride is a blur and you have to stumble your way blindly to the over priced locker and grab them so you can go to the next ride and repeat the same process the entire day. No. Thank you.
5. Enjoying a nice cup of tea.
You had a long day at work and you decide to make yourself a cup of tea, and cuddle up in a chair to read a book. Once you take the first sip, your gasses are covered in fog. IS NOTHING SACRED??
6. Rain
Wet, foggy glasses, and not being able to wipe them off. You may as well not wear glasses at all.
7. The fact that fake hipster glasses exist
The fact that something you need in order to not be an even more awkward person is being mocked just makes you want to break their faux glasses
8. Losing them in the morning
When your alarm goes off and your glasses aren't on your nightstand, you have to do that awkward reach over, and realize that as you were sleeping your body basically threw them across the room.
9. Prescription changes
*internal screaming*
10. When people ask to try them on.
Hahahahaahhahahahahahahahaha these are $400 no way
11. ... and they steal them anyway
There is a special place in hell for people that do this
12. Sunglasses
It just doesn't work. Unless you want to pay an extra $150 to get transition lenses.
13. Haircuts
You are forced to take off your glasses and you have to make conversation or just stare out into space. No thanks.
14. Making out
It can be a bit awkward. Especially if the other person is wearing glasses too.
15. You hope and pray that your kids won't need glasses
But you know they'll need them
16. You wish that you didn't need glasses
But in the end you wouldn't have it any other way
