      IMO, the weird part is taking your glasses off in the first place, especially when you apparently need them for desk work. It’s not like they’re coming in from outside or were taking a shower, they were clearly already sitting at the desk in working position.

        Maybe they were putting their hair up? Or taking a sweatshirt off? Or they were headbanging really hard. Or they’re not bifocals and are nearsided?

        You’re totally right. I’m just being difficult.

        Some people don’t wear their glasses full-time. Could be they only usually use it for computer work and forgot to put them on until some eye strain set in.

        I can’t conceive of seeing anything without my glasses, but some do.

      I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.

          Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).

          You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).

          Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.

            Thanks for a surprisingly in-depth answer! I very rarely wear proper shirts, which I think explains my assumptions.

              Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!

            I (almost) never use a t-shirt to clean my glasses, but once tried the internal lining of my jacket since it looks like a coarser version of the cloth that came with my glasses. The result wasn’t the same but it was still good.

          Some shirts have a small micro fibre cleaning cloth (like the one in your glasses case) sewn into them.

      This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.

    I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They’re putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

    If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it’s too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses if they exist.

      I hate it when people ask me to pass them the salt. They’re putting the responsibility of not spilling it on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

      If it hasn’t been used yet there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the shaker. Do I grab it by the cap or by the sides? Surely it’s too risky to grab the cap If it’s not screwed on correctly.

        Shure it sounds trivial but the difference is that everybody normally handles salt and is therefore familiar with it, but not every person handles glasses, I myself could not tell you the last time I picked some up.

      I usually pick them up by the handles, while locking my fingers against the bridge, so that I can’t slip against the glas.

        The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.

        The use of the word “handles” is not.

            Technically they’re called “temples” and “temple tips”, but I’ve never heard anyone actually use that terminology. Usually I hear them referred to as “arms” (“handles” is a new one 😁)

      My glasses don’t have a frame, but there’s no chance that they’ll break from holding them from the sides of the glasses. Though it does increase the risk of smudging them.

    Also people who touch monitors.

    And people who push the glass part of a door.
