So uh, 21 days later I'm here replying to your comment. :D
Well, my comments are so insightful that it takes three weeks to draft a suitable response. Or something. Err....
When I work weekends I have to leave the house with my dad (who starts work at 6am) simply because the bus to get out of my neighbourhood doesn't run until AFTER my shift starts.
So you have to go out of your way to catch a grotty old bus :-( Putting a little forward planning into a train journey isn't so bad because the ride is usually reasonably pleasant. But having to plan a journey on a hot, smelly, stuffy, motion-sickness-inducing bus is no fun at all.
(I don't like riding buses. Can you tell? :-)
[Me] My colleague's glasses randomly disintegrated one day [You] o_O Like...the entire frame?
I don't know how bad it was, as I wasn't there; he just phoned the office to explain that he had to leave the customer's site to go and get his glasses repaired. I got the impression that it was a fairly serious disintegration; probably one of the screws came out.
On one occasion when I was little, one of the lenses suddenly fell out of my glasses for no apparent reason. The little screw on the arm joint that holds the frame together had worked its way loose.
Despite falling onto a hard floor, the lens didn't break; I used to have toughened glass lenses in my glasses back then. My current lenses are plastic, and I'm not particularly enamoured with them. They're lighter than glass lenses, but they scratch so easily. There's a network of tiny little scratches on them. I might go back to glass lenses next time.
