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.

This is the way.

They're saying they trust you, you dingbat.

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.

I hate it when people ask me to disarm the nuclear warhead.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

What do you mean by “handles”?

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The things that rest over the ears. Are they actually called arms or something?

[-] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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 😁)

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.
