15 things you shouldn’t say (or do) to someone who wears glasses…

   

I’ve literally been wearing glasses as thick as bottle tops for the last 17 years,

• Making the social faux par of stealing someone else’s glasses and then asking ‘ooh I bet I look really weird?!’ Thanks. 

• ‘You need to eat more carrots, don’t you?!

• ‘Everything’s reaaaaly blurry, wait is this how you see without glasses’

• ‘Eyyup speccy4eyes’ 

• Don’t ask if they’re just for fashion, even if they are, it’s  a fashion secret best left unsaid. 

• ‘WOW are you really that blind?!’ 

• ‘You did look like a young Deirdre Barlow as a child’ 

• ‘I bet you have to take the, off when you got on rollercoasters’ (yes.) 

• Ask people to take their glasses off, when they do stand their ask ‘how many fingers am I holding up?!’ 

• Please don’t grab other peoples glasses and THEN ask if you can try them on (even though it’s no in both cases).

• ‘Have you got a little chain for your glasses? My grandma has one of those’

• Don’t take someone’s glasses off of them and then hold them above your head so they can’t have them back, that’s just mean. 

• ‘Ooh you look so much better with contact lenses’.

• ‘I bet you’re really good at maths’ or ‘do you want to be a librarian when you’re older?’ 

• ‘Do you have to get specially made goggles when you go swimming??’ (I don’t even know if they exist…).

• ‘Do you think Hipsters have  helped people with glasses look less nerdy??’ 

• ‘So can you see really well because you wear glasses?!’ No I can see just as well as an average human being.
