Recently I got a new pair of glasses.  When they finally came in, I went to my eye doctor’s office to pick them up.  As they usually do, they had me try on the new glasses, and the optometrist took them to the back to adjust them so they weren’t terrible crooked.  He comes back, hands them to me and says

“There, that should be better.  Oh, whoops, I put a fingerprint on them”

Immediately I think nothing of it, and begin to bring my new pair of glasses to my shirt to clean them off.

As I bring my glasses to my shirt, the optometrist’s reaction was as if I had just committed a mortal sin.  He reached halfway across the table straining to stop my action.

“Nooooooooo….” he cried.

“NEVER clean your glasses with your clothes!  They contain laundry detergent that can scratch your new lenses!  That is like driving around in your car with very low oil in front of a mechanic!”

He immediately hands me two ’special’ lens cleaning cloths and gives me a quick lecture on how much I just spent on these glasses and how I should take care of them properly.

I never knew there existed such passion for glasses.
