I’ve only had glasses for a few years now, but I don’t think I have ever asked anyone to pass them to me
I've asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times... They know not to handle the lenses...
My kids are young and so it's just a given they're going to smudge my shit. One day....
IMO, the weird part is taking your glasses off in the first place, especially when you apparently need them for desk work. It's not like they're coming in from outside or were taking a shower, they were clearly already sitting at the desk in working position.
Some people don't wear their glasses full-time. Could be they only usually use it for computer work and forgot to put them on until some eye strain set in.
I can't conceive of seeing... anything without my glasses, but some do.
I had a friend who did that.
Had.
This is a pet peeve of mine.
I'll sooner walk around semi blind before staring at the smudges.
This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.
There are not many things that make me irrationally angry... Fucking with my glasses is one of them.
So don’t ask other people to hand them to you.
Nothing irrational about that.
I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They're putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.
If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it's too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses.. if they exist.
Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose
This is the way.
They're saying they trust you, you dingbat.
I hate it when people ask me to pass them the salt. They're putting the responsibility of not spilling it on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.
If it hasn't been used yet there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the shaker. Do I grab it by the cap or by the sides? Surely it's too risky to grab the cap.. If it's not screwed on correctly.
My glasses don't have a frame, but there's no chance that they'll break from holding them from the sides of the glasses. Though it does increase the risk of smudging them.
...we should part ways and never, ever, meet each other.
...fight to the death
Also people who touch monitors.
And people who push the glass part of a door.
