2. Being around the ocean, or in a place with early morning mist, always leaves a fine bit of spittle on your lenses.
3. You have to plan your whole workout around contacts. Running with glasses takes a certain amount of finesse and/or crazy.
4. Yoga is nearly always out of the question.
5. Taking pictures in a proper camera is really difficult because the viewfinder might scratch your lenses.

14. Adorable lil’ whiteheads that pop up around where the frames of your glasses touch your face.
15. Your lenses are a great conductor for sunburn around your eyes.

38. When the leg of your glasses ruins an otherwise fa-law-less hairdo.
