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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while taking a shower, I thought that the bathroom was extra steamy because of all the hot water. It wasn't until two-three minutes later when I put some shampoo in my hair that I realized I had forgotten to take my glasses off. 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 was using the restroom at work when my glasses slipped off my face and landed right in the toilet. FML
Today, I bought an eye mask to help me sleep during the day, as I work night shifts. Upon waking up after my first time using it, I forgot I was wearing it and thought I had gone blind, causing me to fall out of the bed and split my head open on my bedside table. FML
Today, my thoughts that I'm going crazy were confirmed when I got into the shower with my socks on. The worst part is that I didn't realize it for a good five minutes. 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, 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
Today, while scrubbing my car with the foam brush at a car wash, the hose for the brush came whipping around and smacked me hard in the side of the head, knocking off my glasses. I got disoriented from the blow and stepped on my glasses, completely smashing them. FML
Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML

Been there, done that. Such a relief when it's not the case.

That's got to be terrifying.

Not your brightest moment there OP

When you wear glasses all the time you get used to having them on like they're not even there

Why so many down votes didn't anyone get the joke?

Sounds like something I would do…

how did you not realize? or... how big are those glasses that you didn't notice the frame?

Same for me #10. I can't even count how many times I've forgotten that I've had them on my face and went into full freakout mode, trying to remember where I put them, making me look like an idiot in public

If you have to wear them all the time you tend to forget that they're even there.

You prove the theory that idiocy has no limits

Seriously? Because people do lots of shit absent mindedly.

@13: says the person whose username is 'Poke my eyes'
buckstop1 37
7, you obviously don't wear glasses

#15 How is the username "pokemyeyes" idiotic? If anything, I would consider them brave and strong for encouraging people to touch such a sensitive body part. Pokemyeyes is basically superman at this point.

Look at the bright side OP, you're not going blind

People who wear glasses ARE slowly going blind. Why else do you think we have to go get new prescriptions for our lenses.

Same, I forget to take them off constantly, sometimes I even forget to take them off when I go to bed xD
addisonrose12 16
Yes but when I lay down they smoosh into my face, therefore alerting me that I still have them on lol

Yup, don't worry OP, it happens to all of us.

Didn't mean to down vote your comment. I couldn't agree more, as a 24/7 wearer it sucks sometimes forgetting about it.

This reminds me of looking for your phone, while talking on it.

I've been wearing glasses since I was ten and I've never done this.. Though, I think the most ridiculous I've ever felt wearing glasses was when I got my new pair, forgot I was wearing contacts, and kept insisting my glasses were smudged because my vision was blurry when I put on the new frames, oops.
