I have been wearing glasses since I was in fourth grade, and I have always had a love-hate relationship with them. They can be super cute and stylish, but they are such a pain to wear at times. Especially as someone who does not wear contacts at all, these struggles can be too real.
Here are six annoying things about wearing glasses that I have found over the course of the decade that I have been wearing them.
1. They are always dirty
No matter how often I clean my glasses, they are always dirty. I will sit there for five straight minutes trying to clean them, and it is almost impossible. Sometimes trying to clean my lenses makes the smudges even worse! At times I just give up and have to bear through looking a blurry mess.
2. Walking in the rain and snow is a nightmare
Whenever it rains or snows, my glasses get the stupid precipitation all over them. It makes it impossible to see when walking around! Sometimes I am better off just putting my glasses in my pocket, walking around blindly, and hoping for the best.
3. 3D movies are just annoying
I detest 3D movies because it is super annoying to wear both the 3D glasses and my regular glasses. Even though the 3D glasses are normally quite large, they still don't fit right with another pair of glasses underneath.
4. They constantly slip off your face in the summer
The summer can be the worst time to wear glasses. Your face gets all sweaty, so your glasses slip off of your nose all day long.
5. Laying down in bed is a no-go
The only way you can lay down in bed and watch TV with glasses on is if you are sitting up or are on your back. Laying on your side does not work at all and could result in some very crooked glasses.
6. People trying on your glasses then saying you are blind
Whenever people try on my glasses they always tell me that I can't see. Of course I can't! That is exactly why I need my glasses!
