9 Ridiculous Things People Who Wear Glasses Are Sick Of Hearing

These days glasses are a fashion statement more than anything else. Everyone can be seen rocking a pair of specs but not all of these people actually need them.

For me, glasses and contacts are an absolute necessity and without them, I wouldn't survive. However, that doesn't mean I should have to put up with the absolute shite I get off people all the feckin' time. Once people see you're wearing glasses they believe they're entitled to comment stupid, irrelevant things, try them on and generally irritate me.

If you're a spectacle-wearer you'll instantly recognise all of these things, we promise.

1. "Can you see without them"?

Of course, I can't feckin' see without them. Why on earth would I be spending copious amounts of money and wearing them all the time if I couldn't you imbecile?

2. "Omg, you're so blind".

Well no shit Sherlock, I wear glasses to correct my vision. Well done on that groundbreaking observation.

3. "Your glasses are kind of dirty".

How dare you have the audacity to comment if my glasses are dirty or not. Cheek.

4. "You look so different without your glasses".

Well of course I do, there's a huge chunk of plastic on my face when I wear them.

5. "How many fingers am I holding up"?

I can see how many fingers you're holding up, I'm not legally blind.

6. "Why don't you want to go see the movie in 3D"?

Because I'll have to wear glasses on top of my glasses and spend the entire film fixing them from sliding down my nose.

7. *Drinks hot beverage "Em, your glasses are steaming up".

I'm very much aware, thanks for pointing that out.

8. When you take out your contacts and realise you've forgotten your glasses, "Why don't you just go without them"?

Why don't you just go outside in your underwear? I CAN'T SEE WITHOUT THEM.

9. The absolute fear when you've bought monthly contacts and throw them out by mistake and someone asks "Why's it such a big deal"?

Do you know how feckin' expensive these little pieces of Hydrogel cost? I've just bought them and they were supposed to last a month and I've worn them twice. It's the equivalent of dropping your entire pizza and you've only had one slice. GOD.
