Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into the shower with my glasses on by mistake. I spent 5 minutes convinced that the fog in my vision was me going blind. FML
Today, I woke up thinking after wearing glasses and contacts all my life that I had miraculously been corrected to 20/20. Turns out I had just fallen asleep with my contacts in. FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML
Today, I went to the eye doctor. For the past three days every time I wear my glasses I become nauseous, get migraines, and have that "fish-eye view" where everything is rounded. Turns out they placed my lenses on the wrong sides. FML
Today, I was attempting to tame my bushy eyebrows, since I'm starting a new job in a few days and need to look somewhat presentable, when I poked myself in the eye. Hard. I thought I’d blinded myself for a few moments. Now it’s just red, sore and watery. FML
Today, I did something clever at work and I was telling one of the other girls about it. I said "Just using my noodle" and went to tap my temple but instead I jabbed myself in the eye. FML
Today, I spent almost 10 minutes cleaning my glasses because everything looked blurry. The problem wasn't my glasses. I was actually wearing my sister's, who apparently got almost the same frames as mine. FML
Today, I went to get a facial. I forgot my contact case so I put them into paper cup. My beautician thought it was leftover water from someone else, and threw my only pair of vision aid away. I scuttled home half blind. FML
Today, my dad asked to borrow my glasses to look for his glasses. He then took them off because they were extremely tight on his head, and gave them back to me. Then he turned around and walked into a wall. I sure hope my eyes don't get that bad, although they probably will by the time I'm 40. FML
Today, I got myself a cool pair of colored contacts. I was wearing them while at home, so that I'll get used to them. Then I had to go to a job interview. I forgot to take them out. I went to a job interview with zebra-print eyes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How do wearing lens-less glasses make you look in any way smarter? :P

The key to looking smarter is to be smarter. instead of wearing fake glasses, try actually studying and reading. Then you'll look smarter. Wearing fake glasses with the lenses out will just make you look too poor to get real glasses. Moron.

Those of us who need to wear glasses suffer because of idiots like the OP who think it looks cool. You guys can buy 2 pairs of glasses for like $99, whereas my glasses - not even the frames, here, folks, just the lenses - cost ~$300. All of the stupid deals that shops offer are for people who don't even need them. Lens-less glasses are just ridiculous anyway. Why would you want to wear glasses if you don't have to?

how does wearing glasses make a person poke his/herself in the eye repeatedly? Did the glasses REALLY have anything to do with it? Is this something you do for fun on a daily basis?

YDI for trying to wear glasses to "look smart". Instead of trying to look the part, why don't you do that lil thing called work and actually GET smart. YTDI.

wearing glasses with no lenses doesn't make you smarter it makes you look like an idiot because everybody will look at you and think you look like an idiot. You do know that you can get "faux" glasses that just have regular plastic or glass lenses right?

This. ^ They make glasses with clear plastic lenses. That's what they use for the display models at eye doctor and for actors.

Funny. The Chinese invented glasses (simple reading-glasses), and it was considered the mark of an "intellectual" - during the time of Confucius. The BIGGER the glasses, the smarter you were. (okay, the Italians; in Venice, invented corrective lenses, and kept it a trade-secret for hundreds of years, so only the super-rich could afford them).
