Also people who touch monitors.
And people who push the glass part of a door.
I had a friend who did that.
Had.
Should’ve swapped panels 2 and 3.
And considering they are already picked up, we should rotate panel 3 by 180 degrees.
And since he’s on the right panel 3 should be mirrored horizontally
I think it looks correct now.
I couldn’t make it look good so I decided to nuke this panel instead:
Completely unwatchable
I actually like the first way. It sort of sells the reality setting in. Also the glasses are clearly still on the table in the close up frame
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
You should try riding around in a mystery van and unmasking cartoon villains more often.
I really should. How’s the pay?
In dog cookies. Are you in?

All the Scooby-snacks you can eat, but you have to wrestle a Great Dane to get them.
Scooby is actually a poodle-tiff.
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.
Maybe they were putting their hair up? Or taking a sweatshirt off? Or they were headbanging really hard. Or they’re not bifocals and are nearsided?
You’re totally right. I’m just being difficult.
Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I’ll give it a maybe.
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 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.
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.
Shure it sounds trivial but the difference is that everybody normally handles salt and is therefore familiar with it, but not every person handles glasses, I myself could not tell you the last time I picked some up.
IDK where the hell you’re from but I know at least three times as many people with glasses as without. There’s no excuse.
IDK how old you are but in my age group i know at least three times as many people without glasses as with. There’s an excuse.
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 usually pick them up by the handles, while locking my fingers against the bridge, so that I can’t slip against the glas.
The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.
The use of the word “handles” is not.
What do you mean by “handles”?
The things that rest over the ears. Are they actually called arms or something?
Technically they’re called “temples” and “temple tips”, but I’ve never heard anyone actually use that terminology. Usually I hear them referred to as “arms” (“handles” is a new one 😁)
Oops
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.
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.
This is a pet peeve of mine.
I’ll sooner walk around semi blind before staring at the smudges.
I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.
Aren’t all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?
Aren’t all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?
Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).
You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).
Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for a surprisingly in-depth answer! I very rarely wear proper shirts, which I think explains my assumptions.
Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!
Some shirts have a small micro fibre cleaning cloth (like the one in your glasses case) sewn into them.
That’s what he’s talking about.
I know. I was responding to smeg who was asking if all parts of the shirt can be used as a cleaning cloth.
This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.
…we should part ways and never, ever, meet each other.
…fight to the death
