Worst thing ever: Entering a warm building from the cold out side and being like *hands outstretched grasping for a wall* for the next few mins until your glasses de-steam .
That only just out ranks wearing a metal necklace and leaning down to put something in a hot oven. Stand back up and it burns like ****.
i have to wear glasses all the time now, thanks to idiot psychiatrist when i was 15, but thats another story.
i actually dont mind glasses, you can get really nice ones now, but the obvious flaw i think has been mentioned, the lenses steaming up when opening dishwasher etc etc
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!

it sucks
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

I wear glasses, but I don't notice anymore when I drink! I automatically adjust so I don't bump the cup on my glasses.
The only weird, slightly hilarious thing that I keep doing unconsciously is pulling REALLY WEIRD faces as I try to shift my glasses back up my nose without using my hands.
So if you see a girl in London with short purpley hair and big black glasses pulling a weird face- it's me.
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
This is a very valid point and totally worthy of a thread. As a glasses wearer myself I feel your pain of inhibited beverage consumption and omgosh the opening the oven thing!!
I feel this is also an appropriate place to share my excitement of finding out today that "bespectacled" is a real life word. As in..."why do you drink that drink so slowly?" "Oh, I cannot drink fast without a mug and glasses collision - it's because I am bespectacled"
Just because you're hurt, doesn't mean you're broken

I have been a wearer of the spectacles in the past, and can confirm that this is indeed a problem if you attempt to wear the cup/glass on your face. It is also possible to drink it without it touching your forehead.
ETA: A more pressing inconvenience of the spectacles is the fogging of the spectacles on entering public transport in cold rainy weather.
I used to have that problem when I used to have to wear glasses (now I don't need them) I think if I held my head up while I was drinking instead of leaning forward it was less of an issue, if I remember correctly, because you don't need to tip your drink at such an angle.
I wear glasses but I never take them off for drinking.

i hate glasses... hate the way they feel, hate the way that they steam up, hate the lack of peripheral vision...
contact lenses or the win :D
Back when I did wear glasses though I never noticed any issue with drinking... I did notice an issue with cooking (them steaming up) and an issue with wearing mascara (now and then would get black marks on the glasses), but no issue with drinking

I used to do this too! And then, when I finally (after 18 years) switched to contact lenses, I used to get this phantom feeling that I was still wearing my glasses and that they were slipping down, so I used to pull that face sans specs.
