Re: Popular things people do that irritate you.

ABSOLUTELY THIS! SO MUCH FUCKING THIS. COULDN'T THE FASHIONISTAS HAVE LEFT IT AT SUNGLASSES?! SO THAT THEY AT LEAST HAVE A PRETEND REASON!?

Especially because the same idiots that do this, are almost ALWAYS the same type of people to tell you things like "You know, without your glasses, you'd be super cute!" And then won't shut UP about it, even when you tell them you have absolutely valid, medical reasons why you can't "just get lasik" or "just use contacts" because after all their mom/brother/neighbor's cousin did that and it worked just fiiiiiiiine. Everybody's eyes are the same, yeah?

I mean, I'm very glad people now think glasses are cool, I'm glad (thanks, online shops!) I now have a variety of pairs of different types so that, unlike my childhood, I no longer have to have the same, ugly, utilitarian thing stuck on my face all day. I'm very happy about how much stylistic CHOICE there is now that everybody's getting in on it. But at the same time I wish people would acknowledge more that it's a medical necessity first and fashion accessory second - and not keep pretending that people who need them always have a choice about it.

(There is also a special level of hell reserved for people - and yes, they exist - who think it is OK to remove glasses from people's faces without permission. Fuck them all sideways).

But hey, could be worse. I calm myself down about this by reminding myself that, not too long ago, walking sticks were a fashion statement and how those who actually needed them must have felt. Just imagine, Watson on his morning stroll (in those Doyle stories where it was his leg), outwardly being all stoic and Victorian, and inwardly thinking:

"Fuck those motherfuckers with their fancy-ass, polished FASHION canes... Look at that bastard stroking his ebony and silver penis-replacement and thinking he's hot stuff - holy shit, has that douchenozzle seriously got his slung over his motherfucking SHOULDER!? AND IT HAS A FECKING TOPPER SHAPED LIKE THE QUEEN!? I don't want to live on this planet anymore... "

... ... I may have drifted way off topic. Forgive me.

To be fair, canes actually were both fashionable and also a possible weapon at one point in time. (I'd kill for a swordcane, but they're banned in my country).

But wtf, people taking off another person's glasses? I'd probably be tempted to slap them...

Swordcanes! My criminal law professor loved using them as examples, so every time I see the word I think of him. And also, they are really awesome and I wish they weren't banned too.

Yeah, there is more than one reason to legitimately carry a cane, I suppose. Watson, ex-soldier that he is, surely knows which are which...

Also, yeah, it's happened to me more than once - particularly at dances, formal events and bars - apparently, if men (they've been men except for one elderly lady) think that if your eyewear doesn't "fit" your look (or whatever they think you're going for) they're entitled to just snatch them. Or because "oh - let me get those so we can take a picture." Fucking NO.

And yes, I have slapped people. Or tried to, it's hard to aim without depth perception.

I just heard House saying this in my head.
