But if you can't see. . . why are you driving?

[Rainman]

Lol this literally happened 1 minute ago.

Quick BG: Currently I work at the national alarm monitoring center for XXX Bank and when employees (really the closest thing to "customers" I have) need to get into their bank branch during non business hours, they have to contact us to let us know.

Me:
BE: Bank Employee

Ring ring, ring ring

Me: Corporate security this is Rainman how may I help you?

BE: Hello Rainman, my name is BE and I manage Banking Center 123

Me: Ok what can I do for you BE?

BE: Well I cant find my glasses to save my life and I've been missing them since friday, I think I might have left them at the branch, is it ok if I drive down there and look?

Me: Well sure! That's no problem, just remember to (insert normal procedure for entering bank) when you get there and when you leave, ok?

BE: Oh thank you Rainman, I just can't see a thing without them and (TV Show) is on tonight, I'm gonna drive down there now then, thank you!

Me: Wait, you said you can't see a thing but you are going to drive?

BE: *Click*

CW: And these are the people who manage our money. . .

How did she leave work without them?

[Rainman]

lol, good question, I didn't ask. Maybe she got picked up or carpooled?

And ... how is she going to find them if she isn't wearing them?

Reminds me of Velma on Scooby Doo (the classic episodes) always losing her glasses and having to crawl around for them, usually bumping into the bad guy just before she does.

Yeah, at my last job (at a fast food restaurant) a couple times I had people come through the drive through and say something like "Sorry I'm taking so long, but I forgot my glasses and can't really see the menu board." Do you really think you should be driving?

I have to use Feel-A-Vision to find mine.

Usually they're lost amongst the bedcovers.

That depends on how bad their eyesight is, and in what way it is bad. I use reading glasses, and computer glasses, but do not need glasses to drive. I can get to a restaurant fine, but I need my glasses to read their menu.

Not being able to read a fast food menu from a car seems to be a bit of a stretch, but you never know.

I am blind as a bat (my contact prescription is -7.50). I blinked-out a contact at work one night and had to go the rest of the shift and drive home with one in! What a headache (literally! I thought I was permanently cross eyed!)
