Maybe you don’t.
But now, I’ve lost my glasses. I’m struggling to focus on the screen to type this. Any suggestions of where they might be would be welcome.
(I’ve already checked every pocket I posess, the laundry, the floor, behind the bed, the drawer I keep tax stuff in, and the kitchen bin…)
The last time I lost my glasses, they were eventually found in my ‘other’ handbag. I guess that’s not particularly helpful to you. Other than that, I can only suggest you take yourself back to the last time you definitely remember wearing them and sort of mentally walk yourself through where you’ve been since. It’s the only thing which ever helps me find lost stuff.
Good luck.
Without my glasses, I’d have to be within… 3" of my 21" monitor to read this text. Thusly, if my glasses aren’t on my face, they’re within arms reach of me.
This means the only places mine go missing are the back of the couch (if I’m falling asleep and put them on the back rest), or sliding down the pile of books on the table by my bed.
Do you have an old pair of glasses somewhere to help you look for your glasses? 
Things like glasses should coming equipped with something that makes them go “Beep!” when you press a signal remote.
Then again, you’d have to find the signal remote without your specs …
Whatever you do, do NOT look for your glasses.
I repeat, do NOT look for your glasses.
Look for your pants. Or your lost love. Or your best friend. But whatever you do, look for something ELSE.
That’s your only hope of finding the glasses. (And if you’re like me, if I lose my glasses, I can’t see to find my glasses, an eternal Catch-22.)
Could you put a signal remote on the signal remote?
Oh wait then you’d have to…
Damn…
:smack:
Don’t feel too bad. I lost my virginity many years ago and for the life of me, I just can’t find it again.
Check the top of your head. I do this with my sunglasses and every so often I’m surprized to find sunglasses there.
What were you doing, or preparing to do the last verifiable time you had them on? Start there. The fact that I couldn’t see my glasses if I put them down in a strange place is the reason I only set my glasses down in certain places when at home, and have a special bright colored hard case for when I go away from home. Good luck, it’s no fun being unable to see properly.
You left them over my house last night.

Check under your bed. Seriously. One of my beloved furkids has a habit of dragging my glasses off during the night. Last week when I was unable to find them, I began following him around. Sure enough, when I saw him head under the bed, I looked under there to find him sleeping with his paw on top of them. I have no clue why a large male cat would find my glasses so appealing.
You left them in the side pocket of your car door.
Hey, it’s worked before.
My immediate response to the thread title was, “Do YOU remember how you lost your trousers??”
I would check my coat or sweater or hoodie pocket, maybe you took them off to keep them dry in the English winter weather?
I always forget to locate my glasses before taking my contacts out at night. I have very bad vision (-9.25 left/-7.75 right) and inevitably this leads to me stumbling around my apartment squinting at the usual spots my glasses end up.
On a couple occasions, I’ve posted to my LiveJournalin this state to preserve my ability to touch type fairly well for posterity.
GorillaMan, did you check the bathroom cabinet? That’s where my glasses sometimes end up.
My dad has two pairs of glasses(same prescription). He has bifocals, but often takes them off to read, work on the computer, etc.
Recently, I noted with amusement that Dad was working on a jigsaw puzzle, and had not one but both pairs of glasses within arms reach of the table. He’d taken off the first pair while working on the puzzle, gone to bed without retrieving the glasses, worn the second pair downstairs the next day, sat down at the puzzle and took them off. . .
To the best of my knowledge, one pair is now upstairs where they belong, and the other pair is on his face-or within arms reach of his face.
Come on guys! He lost his glasses, and has a hard time reading without them. Then you go and post in the normal font size. Be considerate. Post a little larger. BTW I know where your glasses are. They are…
ha ha you can’t read this so you will never know where they are.
OK, so I have an evil streak in me.

Buy another pair. Then , because of that well known sod’s law , the original pair will turn up.
I also keep losing my glasses , I wish I could train my dog to hunt them out.
Found them yesterday! Evidently they’d fallen from my pocket as I was opening my front door, and then got covered in snow.
And thanks, Otanx, but I’d already increased the text size!
POCKET! POCKET!! Coat pocket, right? I win the pool. How much did we have going?
At the back of where I live there are some fields where we all walk our dogs. A couple of weeks ago I saw one of my neighbours walking round and round one particular field without his dogs. He thought he had lost his hearing-aid in the field earlier in the day. After searching for nearly an hour, he went home and found the darn thing under his bed. He thinks it must have fallen out when he was putting his sweater on .
