Have you ever mislaid your glasses while baking or have you ever found them lurking in the freezer?
Reading 123, a retailer of reading glasses, have compiled a list of the most embarrassing ways people have lost their glasses.
To produce the list, Reading 123 asked 2,130 individuals in the UK who wear glasses on a daily basis to share how they have lost their glasses in the past.
Accidents, by nature, happen unexpectedly. It’s not easy to always remember everything you put down. By sharing these humiliating cases of people leaving their glasses in embarrassing places, Reading 123 hopes individuals can consciously dodge re-enacting any of them or creating their own embarrassing situation involving their glasses.
The most embarrassing ways people lose their glasses –
In a cake mix whilst baking
A public toilet cubicle and having to ask for them back
Putting them in a washing machine
Left on my head
In the freezer
By far the most common way individuals lost their way in an embarrassing manner is simply forgetting they have them on their head. A total of 29% of respondents said they regularly forget their glasses are on their head.
Monica McCoy who prefers contact lenses due to often forgetting where she places her glasses, believes her case may be one of the most embarrassing.
“I have a habit of taking off my glasses and forgetting about them. A few years ago I lost my pair of expensive Ray-Ban glasses in the house. We couldn’t find them anywhere, so I eventually gave-in and bought an identical pair so I didn’t have to wear contacts all the time. Fast forward a few years and we were in the process of moving and upon emptying the freezer, we found my glasses! They were at the very bottom and coated in layers upon layers of ice,” she said.
Common ways people lose their glasses:
Leaving them in someone else’s car
Losing them in the bed sheets
A child playing with them
Leaving them in a bar or restaurant
Losing them in water (e.g. a lake or pond)
