    1. Every damn time someone demands to know what you look like with your glasses off.

    Cartoon Network

    Just as fabulous, if you really want to know.

    2. Also, when someone says, "Oh you actually look good in glasses!"

    CW

    Um, is this supposed to be a compliment???

    3. Then there are the times when people ask if your glasses are real. Ugh.

    NBC

    Thanks, fake hipster glasses, for ruining my REAL glasses that I need to actually see.

    4. When it rains...

    5. ...or just as bad, when it snows.

    6. Wearing glasses outside when it's sunny, because it pretty much scorches your eyes to oblivion.

    7. When your friends ask why you haven't gotten Lasik yet.

    BBC

    Um, because putting lasers in my eyes sounds TERRIFYING???

    8. Also, whenever someone asks if you've considered getting contacts.

    20th Century Fox

    Putting plastic in your eyes isn't much better.

    9. When your friend asks to try on your glasses.

    CBS

    Imagine how ridiculous you would sound if you asked to try on my underwear — and then when they DO try them on, they say "Wow, your really can't see!"

    10. Attempting to work out in your glasses, which is actually the worst.

    Warner Bros

    It just isn't meant to be.

    11. Attempting to get ~sexual~ with your glasses on can be tough, especially when you bump someone with your glasses.

    Big Machine

    It's hard to get flirty when you look this nerdy.

    12. When you're in the bathroom and they fog up...

    13. ...or when the same thing happens when you open the dishwasher...

    14. ...drink something hot...

    15. ...or you are cooking pasta.

    16. When your friend thinks it is a good idea to ask if you can see how many fingers they're holding up with your glasses off.

    goodreads.com

    Here, let me show you my middle finger.

    17. When you're called a hipster...

    Disney

    Actually, I'm just me.

    18. ...or you're assumed to be smart. JUST because you have glasses.

    Nickelodeon

    You probably ARE smart. The glasses are just a bonus.

    19. Readjusting them. ALL. THE. TIME.

    Columbia

    You need a push-up bra, but for your glasses.

    20. Wearing your glasses when you're out drinking.

    Warner Bros.

    Disaster is ALWAYS around the corner. You're terrified of dropping them...or worse.

    21. Falling asleep in them.

    Sam Stryker for BuzzFeed

    You look like a fool...and will they ACTUALLY break this time???

    22. If you're a girl, dealing with the whole makeup/glasses conundrum.

    23. When they get dirty at the WORST possible time, like when you're talking to your crush.

    Warner Bros.

    "Here, can I clean your glasses for you?" — your crush. *HANGS HEAD IN SHAME.*

    24. And last but not least, any time that you're called "four eyes."

    Interscope

    It wasn't funny in the fourth grade, and it ain't funny now.

    But despite all the awkward moments of wearing glasses... and there are PLENTY...

    NBC

    So many.

    ... let's face it, you secretly love your glasses and you'd never give them up. RIGHT?!?!

    ... let's face it, you look AMAZING in your spectacles and you'd never give them up. RIGHT?!?!

    Right.
