Should've swapped panels 2 and 3.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 141 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And considering they are already picked up, we should rotate panel 3 by 180 degrees.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

And since he’s on the right panel 3 should be mirrored horizontally

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

I think it looks correct now.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 2 months ago

I couldn't make it look good so I decided to nuke this panel instead:

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Completely unwatchable

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I actually like the first way. It sort of sells the reality setting in. Also the glasses are clearly still on the table in the close up frame

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 57 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I’ve only had glasses for a few years now, but I don’t think I have ever asked anyone to pass them to me

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You should try riding around in a mystery van and unmasking cartoon villains more often.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I really should. How’s the pay?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

All the Scooby-snacks you can eat, but you have to wrestle a Great Dane to get them.

In dog cookies. Are you in?

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times... They know not to handle the lenses...

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

My kids are young and so it's just a given they're going to smudge my shit. One day....

[–] rumschlumpel 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

IMO, the weird part is taking your glasses off in the first place, especially when you apparently need them for desk work. It's not like they're coming in from outside or were taking a shower, they were clearly already sitting at the desk in working position.

[–] zaemz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they were putting their hair up? Or taking a sweatshirt off? Or they were headbanging really hard. Or they're not bifocals and are nearsided?

You're totally right. I'm just being difficult.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I'll give it a maybe.

I had a friend who did that.

Had.

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There are not many things that make me irrationally angry... Fucking with my glasses is one of them.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

So don’t ask other people to hand them to you.

[–] Toes@ani.social 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

This is a pet peeve of mine.

I'll sooner walk around semi blind before staring at the smudges.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Aren't all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Aren't all parts of a shirt suitable as a cleaning cloth?

Good question! No! Most t-shirts work well, but button-up shirts are often not soft, pliable, or absorbable enough to really function well for glasses cleaning (IMO, anyway).

You aren’t likely to scratch the glasses (glass is very hard), but you kinda just move the smudges around and make them worse with certain fabrics. I want either a nice mostly-cotton blend, or a nice thick microfiber cloth (microfiber is not created equal, and some are practically useless).

Maybe I’m just picky. Your mileage may vary.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for a surprisingly in-depth answer! I very rarely wear proper shirts, which I think explains my assumptions.

[–] reinei@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Also although you will have a hard(-ish) time scratching the glass by using a good shirt if you have any kind of coating on your glasses (such as a blue filter or anti-reflex coating or whatever) you CAN easily scratch those (usually)!

[–] Guilherme@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

I (almost) never use a t-shirt to clean my glasses, but once tried the internal lining of my jacket since it looks like a coarser version of the cloth that came with my glasses. The result wasn't the same but it was still good.

[–] BlueSquid0741@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Some shirts have a small micro fibre cleaning cloth (like the one in your glasses case) sewn into them.

This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They're putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it's too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses.. if they exist.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose

This is the way.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 10 points 2 months ago

They're saying they trust you, you dingbat.

I hate it when people ask me to pass them the salt. They're putting the responsibility of not spilling it on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

If it hasn't been used yet there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the shaker. Do I grab it by the cap or by the sides? Surely it's too risky to grab the cap.. If it's not screwed on correctly.

[–] Tiefkuehlkost 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Shure it sounds trivial but the difference is that everybody normally handles salt and is therefore familiar with it, but not every person handles glasses, I myself could not tell you the last time I picked some up.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

IDK where the hell you're from but I know at least three times as many people with glasses as without. There's no excuse.

[–] Tiefkuehlkost 2 points 2 months ago

IDK how old you are but in my age group i know at least three times as many people without glasses as with. There's an excuse.

I usually pick them up by the handles, while locking my fingers against the bridge, so that I can't slip against the glas.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.

The use of the word "handles" is not.

[–] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

What do you mean by “handles”?

[–] rumschlumpel 2 points 2 months ago

My glasses don't have a frame, but there's no chance that they'll break from holding them from the sides of the glasses. Though it does increase the risk of smudging them.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

...we should part ways and never, ever, meet each other.

...fight to the death

[–] Kethal@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Also people who touch monitors.

And people who push the glass part of a door.
