    You watch an action packed scene in a movie/tv show and at the end of the chase and gunfight you suddenly shout out 'those raybans weren't polarized.!!!'

    You can take stuff out of the oven without your ove'glove and accidently touching the fajita plate at Chili's doesn't render your fingers scorched because you've lost of feelings in your fingertips.

    ........When it is all you can do to stay seated while dining out somewhere and see someone with very crooked eyeware and NOT GO OVER AND ADJUST THEM! It will bother you until you leave, and you keep talking about it well into the evening! (guilty)
    There are many things in life that catch your eye... but very few things will catch your heart.... Pursue those!

    The only information you can give the police after being mugged is that he was wearing a Swank Yale, Demi Blonde, in a 51 eye


    you can plunge a screwdriver 2 inches into your hand and not utter a foul word

    I hate when they are wearing glasses in a period film and they have AR on the glasses when it wasn't even available.

    Dramatic close up of Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp @ the end of Tombstone and you notice that he's wearing CL's.


    Oh well, wouldn't want a myopic Wyatt to miss.

    While watching Syracuse University BB on TV, and they do a closeup of a foul shooter, my husband & I look at each other and say, in unison, "Man, does that guy have a wide PD!" No one else in the room had a clue.
    Lost and confused in an optical wonderland!

    You have a callus on the outside of your right index finger from spinning sharp edged lenses as you safety bevel them, and a flat spot on your nails from accidentally touching the stone/diamond wheel as you safety bevel.
