Today, trying to be cute, my boyfriend threw a snowball at me. This would have been fine had it not been hard enough to break my glasses. As a college student, I have to choose between eating for the next two weeks or replacing them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in an attempt to be romantic, my boyfriend threw little stones against my window. Unfortunately, the window wasn't closed, and I was standing in front of it. FML
Today, I learned never to try a jump-scare prank on my boyfriend. Apparently, his instinct when suddenly scared isn’t to jump or scream like a baby, it’s to throw a blind punch. Luckily, he missed but he broke my glasses by knocking them off my nose and now he won’t stop apologising. FML
Today, my boyfriend was buying a new hockey stick; to test it out he started hitting a ball around the aisle and decided to shoot it back into its bin. Instead the ball hit me dead in the mouth, giving me a fat lip. Instead of consoling me, my boyfriend yelled "GOAL!" FML
Today, my boss and I were stacking boxes in the back room of the store. One of the boxes fell and hit me in the face, causing me to lose my glasses. My boss stepped on my glasses as she ran to check the box for broken merchandise, which I then had to pay for. FML
Today, I walked into the glass door of my boss’s cabin and broke my spectacles. Thank god for a backup pair, right? Wrong. I fell down the stairs and broke them too. FML
Today, it snowed. So, a guy I like and I decided to go sledding. I really wanted to impress him by going down the hill and casually slowing down at the bottom right at his feet. Instead, I crashed into him and broke his ankle. FML
Today, I went to pick a penny off of the ground for good luck. Someone kneed me in the butt, I fell face first and broke my glasses. FML
Today, as I was sleeping I heard something bang on my door. I walked on my balcony only to find my boyfriend throwing rocks trying to wake me. He didn't see me and threw a rock right into my eye. FML
Today, after spending a lot of money on photo shoots to build up my portfolio, I finally got an offer from a modelling agency. I ran outside to tell my parents, only for my brother to hurl an iced snowball straight into my face. I now have a huge gash over my cheek and nose. FML
Today, I had a panic attack at 2 a.m. because someone decided to throw a snowball at my window. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sure he wouldn't mind at least helping you pay to replace them. Otherwise, just eat all his food. :)

Yeah, those are probably frames for 12. she needs lenses, which cost sooo much more.

Eyebuydirect.com.. frames, lenses, tax and shipping totaled $30 for me. :]

Hpfan- the price at zenni includes lenses. Shipping is $5 no matter how many pairs you order.

One of my jobs is an Optician. Now for a quick fix online ordering is a very good idea if you can live for a few days without them. The fastest option would be a Lenscrafters/Eyemart/etc. that could get your glasses done in an hour or so, but for a little bit more money. However, keep in mind that the quality from all of those places (especially the online stores) is going to be utter shit. I help run an independent optical store and you have no idea how many people come in with these things and ask for repairs or fittings. It's a quick, but CHEAP fix. I'd say, buy a pair for now, so you can see and eat (btw...you do realize like Doc said, $10-30 is really all it will cost you for glasses online and you then you could spend a measly $10 and have food for 2 weeks easy; $20-40 done deal...I think you have that), but I think the perp should still buy them for you. Even after you buy a cheap set, do yourself a favor and buy a nice pair, it makes a world of difference and is well worth the cost (plus the store you always annoy for fittings/repairs won't be annoyed with you for using them anymore for a product you go elsewhere).

My pair from eyebuydirect is excellent. In fact, it's much better than the glasses I use to get from my obstetrician which cost me upwards of $100. The glasses from my obstetrician were utter shit. The anti-glare on them chipped so badly they were unusable, not to mention the glasses at the obstetrician were ALWAYS crooked and the assistants were nasty when I asked them to fix them. [This is when I bought from them every year!] Not only am I NEVER getting anti-glare again, but I swear by eyebuydirect.

That would likely be your optometrist. Obstetricians do not deal with the eyes... at all.

You're right. I misspoke. My bad. :]

Well, OP, thats what you get for having a boyfriend who would hit you in the face with hard ball thinking it was cute.

it's hard to tell if a snowball is hard or soft cuzyou can scoop up ice by accident

It's all been said already. Make him feed you and have him pay for those glasses. If he won't do that, then you shouldn't be with him anyway.

I have a simpler solution: make your trying-to-be-cute-boyfriend pay for them, since he broke them :P

No big deal. Go to ZenniOptical.com. Glasses start at $10 with lenses. You can eat AND have glasses! And no, I don't work there, I'm just a cheapskate.

Zenni's pretty good, but I found them kind of slow. For speed, I prefer EyeBuyDirect.com. For both, I go through GlassyEyes.com to get discounts. I used to think glasses were expensive until I started shopping online. Now that Mitz and I have shown you how to get cheap glasses, get your stupid ******** of boyfriend to buy them for you.

Thank you for the tips. My daughter just broke her eye glasses.

SG- zenni is great. I ordered 2 pairs, and shipping took exactly 2 weeks. The glasses are perfect, just as advertised. I would highly recommend them if you can wait the 2 weeks.

Thanks, Doc. Her vision is not bad at all. I was going to wait for LensCrafters to have their $99. sale again. That's where I got her prescription. I'll definitely order them from Zenni's. It never crossed my mind to order it on line. (:
