My Drill Sergeant Stepped On My Glasses
I have purchased the most awesome, inexpensive eyeglasses ever. I typically do not like to wear eyeglasses, but these make me want to wear them all the time. I purchased them from the Target store.
I am a male so they were in the men's section. They made me look intellectual. (tip: When going for the male intellectual look, consider a pair of thin framed glasses with attention to detail, such as the Peek Performer by Eyebobs)
I went off to the Marine Corps, wearing them. The drill instructors had us on line, playing games. We had to quickly remove our shirts and then put them back on. In the process of this wonderful game, my eyeglasses fell off onto the floor. My drill instructor saw this and intentionally stepped on them and broke them.
I was very upset, but not going to show it. I was blind for about a week until I was issued a very nice set of birth control glasses. I really miss the ones I purchased from Target.
- That is a sad "eyewear" story. Finding a pair of glasses that you love can be a challenge. But to have someone intentionally destroy them, not very nice… The great news is that when you are ready for your next pair, we have a great selection of men's reading glasses all at affordable prices. Most are optical quality, so you can simply have your optician swap out the lenses for your regular prescription.
