Where the f*ck are my glasses?

[spudulike]

ouija board?

 

[girasol]

Do you read at bedtime? Under the bed?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

have you checked the cat?

 

[Saffy]

Check the fruit bowl, if you have one. I find most stuff in there.
My husband has just started wearing glasses but can't eat with them on, so is forever putting them on the side of the sofa and they end up stuck between the sofa cushion and the arm.

I got a new pair recently, they are see through plastic. . . I had no idea until I placed them down for the first time how invisible they would be . . . especially when I haven't got my glasses on!

See-through glasses? This seems like a real breakthrough.

 

[Stig]

I want to know where they are now! subscribes to thread

Have you tried the kitchen cupboards? hung over radiators? top of head?

 

[Stig]

pockets? I sometimes lose things because i'm wearing something with different sorts of pockets to the ones on the clothes I normally wear.

As I get more senile, I find there is often a cold mug of tea in the microwave that has been reheated then forgotten about. I've yet to find my glasses in there but it's probably just a matter of time.

Anyhow. Someone else suggested washing machine. I've found lots of my stuff in there. Money, credit cards, phones, a pocket knife that did a pretty good job of fucking the whole thing up permanently. That sort of thing

The more you need them, that is the older you get, the less fun it is looking for glasses without your glasses to help you.

You have my sympathy.

 

[ouirdeaux]

You have my sympathy.

Just remember that's where you left it. Or we'll soon have a thread titled 'Where the fuck is my sympathy?'

 

[krtek a houby]

I often leave mine on the chest of drawers on the bedroom. Right next to, but not in, my glasses case

Same!

 

[Cloo]

Checked bedside table multiple times. I am 90% certain I walked out of the bedroom holding them. I don't tend to keep them on my head.

Lately am finding items in pockets, stuff that would usually put on shelf/drawer/table. Pockets in coats, shirts, trousers etc.

Whistle and they might come to you

On the odd occasion I've got too drunk and dropped my glasses somewhere in the house I have to go round on my hands and knees to locate them. Can't walk around due to the risk of standing on them.

I once spent an hour or so crawling around a surface level carpark in town after I'd tripped over a kerb and my glasses went flying. I was very, very drunk - and never found them. Hope I amused some CCTV operators anyway as I was crawling around and sweeping the surface like I was trying to clear a minefield.

Always check for bespectacled seagulls in the immediate vicinity

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I could do with a magnet on a stick so I could more easily find them when they're lost in future - just sweep around the place and eventually the magnet would pick them up.

Mine are varifocals so they mainly stay on my head, apart from when I have to take them off to put on my arctic smock (something I wear to keep the cold at bay) and after putting it on I once found my glasses when I sat on them

 

[magneze]

In a pocket?

 

[xenon]

Laundry basket?
Windowsill in the kitchen / bathroom?
I was going to say in the fridge but how about on top of the fridge
Maybe by the kettle.

I'm afraid I need moar data - why can't your husband eat with glasses on ?

 

[bellaozzydog]

Just Checking in to see if the evasive lunettes have been sighted

I remembered one place to do with the baking I hadn't looked, remembering the first thing I'd done was to get out the baking paper

can we make this a pinned thread...for next time it happens?

He says it makes him seasick.

 

[Cloo]

This is good timing as I'm reading from the Torah in synagogue tomorrow and if it's one of the old, rather small ones, glasses will definitely help quite a lot.

And as a bonus for my evening, my new(ish) laptop charger decided to actually charge my laptop today when I opened it to post this. It worked the first time I used it and charged the machine fine, then stopped charging the battery for the next two weeks, although it powered the laptop. But today it decided it did feel like actually charging the battery.

If I started a thread every time I lost my glasses, U75 would need an extra server to deal with the bandwidth. Fortunately my phone also spends half its life lost so there's no chance of me starting to do so.

They will turn up somewhere shockingly obvious.

I now have 3 pairs of serviceable specs, so when I lose a pair, if I can't find them quickly in the usual places (on my head, keyboard, or hanging from the neck of my shirt) I just take another out of the bowl on the bookshelf and use those. Mrs Spy eventually finds the lost ones laying around and puts them in the bowl.

Works well. The bowl is never empty.

I'm worried for him now
