I want to go to the store.
I’ve looked in all the usual places: by the bed, next to the TV, next to the computer, on the sink, on the bookshelf.
I could wear my old pair but they’re not in very good shape and the old prescription makes everything look weird.
Are they propped up on your head? 
Sucks getting old, don’t it.
I vote refrigerator. You put them on to look inside, pulled out something to inspect it and then absent-mindedly took them off and left them on a shelf before closing the door ;).
A woman I work with always has them on top of her head when she can’t find them. I’ve bought her a string thing for her neck. She lost it.
Maybe in the bathroom?
The cat knocked them off the nightstand and they are between the bed and the wall.
If you use them to drive, then they’re probably in your car somewhere.
Time to get four or five pairs and keep them scattered around the house.
My biggest problem is I can’t see without them, so when I can’t find them I have to squint and feel around with my hands until I touch them.
This.
Agreed. But mine usually bounce UNDER the bed, so YMMV.
Wait…
I have a cat?
…I’m getting more forgetful than I realized.
Rest assured, they’ll be in the last place you look.
May I have the envelope please?
The correct answer wason the air conditioner.
Well, duh!! We all assumed you had already looked there!
Did you check on the air conditioner?
My suggestion WAS going to be to put on your old glasses and look for the new ones.
You need to set up a large number of specific glasses containers all over the house–so one is convenient to where-ever you want to take them off.
Why are they always in the last place you look? Surely the science of Physics can answer this question for us…
My youngest sis has drugstore reading glasses all over her house so a pair is always at hand. Pretty sad for someone just 48.
So far, I do a pretty good job of keeping track of mine. First off, I really can’t get along without them, so I rarely take them off outside of showering or going to bed. At night, they go on the same spot on my dresser so I can find them by feel. I keep my old ones on the night stand for watching TV in bed, except when I wear them outside for grubby jobs to avoid messing up my current specs. Fortunately, my prescription hardly changed, so I’m good.
Of all the things about getting old and decrepit, this is the thing I hate the most. You should have seen me the other day trying to thread a needle!!
Have read that Teddy Roosevelt, when he charged up that hill* in Cuba, had some dozen spare eyeglasses squirreled around his person (many in his hat).
*Used the generic term “hill” so there would be no subsequent pedantry about which hill it actually was.
I’ve been doing this since I was 42.
It’s not sad, it’s just easier.
The sad day will come if I ever need real glasses(i.e. expensive, prescribed by an optometrist), and not the $10 pairs from Walmart that I leave all over the house.
