Today, I was going shopping with a friend. I got up to get off the train and landed on my ass. Not only had I walked into the metal bar, I'd broken my $800 glasses, and the train doors had closed, with my friend on the other side of the doors. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML
Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. 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, I went out with my best friend and her hot brother. Upon our exit out of the restaurant I walked right into the glass door and rebounded back off it. The whole restaurant was silent as I shamefully walked out only to trip on the curb outside. 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, while at the mall, I was traveling up the escalator on my way to the food court. When I neared the top, the handrail severely shocked me, causing me to drop a bag of China I had just bought, which fell to the bottom of the escalator and shattered. FML
Today, I got on the train with my bike, leaning it up against the wall. After a while, it began to slide down the wall and wobble, so I dashed out to catch it. As I ran for it, I slipped and crashed into it, knocking it into an old man and busting the rear brake. 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 was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, while getting on the subway, I tripped over the gap between the train and the platform. My flip-flop caught on the edge, and fell into the gap. I had to walk home with one flip-flop. FML

Ironically I just saw an ad on the TV: "Get two pairs of frames and lenses for $99! (With purchase of an eye exam.)" So, in short, anyone who buys glasses more than about $300 is a preppy idiot too worried about how (s)he looks to care about anything else.

For all the idiots talking about 800$ glasses,I'm pretty sure the OP mean myopia glasses or something like that. Believe me they are EXPENSIVE.

AND NO ONE NEEDS THOSE KIND OF GLASSES who the heck would spend 800 dollars on a pair of glasses is beyond me.

My myopia glasses didn't even cost $100. And they look decent and have lasted me around 7 years by now. What exactly are you saying?

To people who say that shopping for glasses is expensive and that this is an FYL: 1. No shit, Sherlock. Saying glasses are expensive is like saying that the sky is blue. Everybody already knows. 2. The point that these $800 broke, which isn't supposed to happen, not that they're $800. 3. You'd have to literally run into a pole on purpose face first to **** up this badly. FYL for getting hit (it was prob. an accident) and YDI for buying crap glasses.

Maybe her prescription is really bad. I know mine are. My frames were about $250. With the lenses, they are $500 something. FYL, OP ... but if you have an insurance, it might cover.

Without insurance, glasses can easily add up to $800. And everyone saying that you don't need to buy expensive frames... If you have the type of lenses that cost $400, chances are you need your glasses on your face pretty much every waking moment. So, yeah, the scratch protection, transition lenses, etc. are totally worth it (and the thinner lenses, if you're incredibly near-sighted). And since they're going to be on your face 16 hours a day, you probably want them to look good, too (anyone who has ever made fun of someone's ugly glasses has no right to argue that fact). Add on the cost of the eye exam ($50 or so for just the glasses; more than that if you have eye problems and they need to check eye pressures, dilate your eyes, etc.) It's not difficult to hit $800 for a good pair of glasses if you're practically blind.

Am I missing something here? You can get glasses in England for about £3-5. People saying they 'only' paid $50 for glasses is confusing, $800 boggles the mind 0_o

$800? I don't even know of glasses that cost that much. Even designer glasses are around $300 from what I've seen.
