The worst thing is when a lens falls out. You have to try to wear the glasses with one lens and squint which instantly gives me a headache, or you're stuck peering around without glasses. If you're me, that means you're close to legally blind. The other day I stared long and hard in my ,s>not especially clean toilet trying to decide if having glasses was worth fishing around in there because I thought the lens had fallen in. I decided in the end "No" and flushed to end the debate. I then realized the horrible mess I'd gotten in to, stepped back, and by stepping back turned the floor mat over slightly. There, my lens sat. Many prayers were shouted out the Lord, Lord Almighty that day.

I actually lost mine on the street one day and couldn't find it again. I tried going into work the next morning but ended up with a very bad migraine from being without my glasses. I had to shell the money out for new glasses that morning, whether I wanted to or not. Luckily, Rich and I had just gotten married so I was able to get on his vision plan. Not that his grad school had a good plan, but it was better than without.

Back before I had insurance and regularly had my glasses falling apart, I got really good at deciphering the blobs on street signs. You do what you have to.

I tried driving without glasses once. I made it for about four days, then one day I turned into a sidewalk, thinking it was my turn, but it was NOWHERE NEAR ANYTHING. Very embarassing! And stupid, really, but really half the goal of driving is not hitting anything, and you can still pretty much do that.

I had my wipers break once, then the repairs cost over $300, and the new installation broke soon afterwards- I'm pretty sure it was a major ripoff all around. Anywho, I was too poor to buy another set, so I drove without wipers in the rain for a good many weeks at night on the highway. THAT wasn't bright.
