So I kinda cracked up the other day because I made a comparison that was kinda funny.
Now I know we all get this from time to time - the person, who believes that they (or their child) must wear glasses all the time, and since their glasses are broken/lost/eaten by a dog/whatever, they're wearing someone elses glasses or readers with a completely wrong Rx. You try to explain that what they are wearing is completely wrong for what they need, and they simply say "But I have to wear glasses, and something is better than nothing." (Which is kind of depressing when the parents have a child with a -8.00 OU in a +3.00 reader. - Which by the way is what prompted my comparison the other day.)
So after hearing the parents explain everything to me like I was slow for not understanding, I looked at them and said -
"That's like taking Imodium for a headache instead of Tylenol for a headache because they're both pills!"
The comparison kinda went over their head's because they didn't know what Imodium was, but everyone else in the office was amused.
