I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They’re putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.
If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it’s too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses… if they exist.
I hate it when people ask me to pass them the salt. They’re putting the responsibility of not spilling it on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.
If it hasn’t been used yet there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the shaker. Do I grab it by the cap or by the sides? Surely it’s too risky to grab the cap… If it’s not screwed on correctly.
Technically they’re called “temples” and “temple tips”, but I’ve never heard anyone actually use that terminology. Usually I hear them referred to as “arms” (“handles” is a new one 😁)

This is the way.
They’re saying they trust you, you dingbat.
I usually pick them up by the handles, while locking my fingers against the bridge, so that I can’t slip against the glas.
The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.
The use of the word “handles” is not.
What do you mean by “handles”?
The things that rest over the ears. Are they actually called arms or something?
