Should've swapped panels 2 and 3.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 144 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 36 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

I think it looks correct now.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Completely unwatchable

[–] Xenny@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

I really should. How’s the pay?

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

[–] Disgracefulone@discuss.online 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Scooby is actually a poodle-tiff.

In dog cookies. Are you in?

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.

[–] Toes@ani.social 20 points 3 weeks 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 22 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 weeks 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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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.

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] leftzero@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Nothing irrational about that.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

This is the way.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 10 points 3 weeks ago

They're saying they trust you, you dingbat.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

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.

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 3 weeks ago

The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.

The use of the word "handles" is not.

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

What do you mean by “handles”?

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 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

...fight to the death

[–] Kethal@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Also people who touch monitors.

And people who push the glass part of a door.
