Today, my mother yet again refused to get her eyes tested. This was after she confused the tv remote for her iPhone while holding it in her hand. FML

If your mother is driving, you might need to threaten to report her to the authorities - sounds like she's a danger to herself and others. You would feel terrible if she was in a accident that you could have prevented.

I never understood this, she doesn't want her eyes tested cause they'll give her glasses, but why on earth would you sacrifice a major human sense for something as meaningless as vanity? Especially since, she's not just endangering herself at this point, she's endangering everyone around her. Also, most people look good with glasses anyway. If she's doing anything that could cause a danger to other people, be it driving, in her job, etc, she needs to be reported, with how bad her sight is, she's basically equivalent to someone operating under the influence.
