11 Glaring Annoyances Everyone With Glasses Wishes They Could Avoid

Sometimes, I feel like I came out of my mother's womb with a fresh pair of glasses. That's how long glasses have been a part of my life. Ever since I could remember, I've always worn glasses. At least, I can't seem to find any childhood pictures where I'm not wearing them. If you're a true glasses wearer, then I'm sure you'll able to relate to these 11 annoyances we all go through.

1. Being the one with a glare in every picture

I'm telling you. It's so frustrating when you're about to take a bomb ass selfie, and the sun wants make you look like you don't have a left eye.

2. The finger prints and scratches that only you can see

It makes me want to take them off and break them right then and there.

3. Everyone thinking you're blind when they try your glasses on

No, Barbara I'm not blind. They're just not your prescription.

4. Always having to push them back up on your nose

If I had a dollar for every time I had to push up my glasses in a day, I strongly believe I'd be able to pay off my student loans and buy me a nice car.

5. Having to constantly clean them

We all know the struggle of having to make sure our glasses our clean. One smudge and our vision is screwed.

6. The feeling when you lose them

I really feel like this feeling is similar to losing a child. RT if you agree.

7. All of the questions that never seem to fade

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Have you ever thought about contacts?"

"Are you near sided or far sided?"

"Can you see without them?"

And the list goes on, and on, and on...

8. The struggle of trying to find the perfect pair

You might think you want to try something different, but you don't. So you're more than likely to get the same pair that you got last time with a hint of difference.

9. Being too afraid to check and see if they're broken after dropping them

My heart starts racing and the praying begins. They're usually not broken, but watch me have some karma for saying that.

10. The label of "hipster"

Just because I wear "hipster" glasses doesn't mean I like La Croix.

11. Getting told, "You should try contacts! You'd look so much better."

Ah, this one just might be my personal favorite. I love me a good back handed complement.

Wearing glasses has never really been my choice, but it makes me who I am. Everyone knows me as "Jessica with the glasses." As much as these comments and questions can get annoying, it's actually pretty funny how interested people who don't wear glasses get.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
