Today, we decided to go to an aquarium for a little family get-away. At the end was a shark viewing deck, and I leaned over the rails to get a better look. How did I find out that my glasses needed to be adjusted? They fell off and sunk right to the bottom of the shark-infested waters. FML

Same thing different taste

Sensory deprivation

Today, I went to a theme park with my friends. I was excited to ride the rollercoasters, but just as we were about to get on the biggest one, I realized I'd had left my glasses in the car. I can't see shit without them, but I decided to go on the ride anyway. I spent the entire time screaming in terror while my friends laughed, while I couldn't see a thing. FML

Did you try to get it back? If not at least the sharks will see a little more clearly now.

Welcome to Newport Aquarium, I can't say it hasn't happened to me.

How did you see to post on FML? Did you retrieve them from a worker?

Man up (or in this case woman up?), jump in, and get your glasses back. A shark charges you? Punch it on the nose.

Although it'd be silly and you would get arrested, if you dove in after the glasses the sharks would likely not even react to your presence because aquarium sharks are fed regularly on a schedule so that they don't feel the need to attack the other fish that are in the tank with them and traumatize whomever may be watching. Of course, this depends on what kinds of sharks you're talking about. A tiger shark reacts very differently than a nurse shark.

one of the aquariums I was at had bull sharks, you could imagine my shock when I turned my head to see what was staring at me while I was in the water, luckily he was on the other side of a huge perspex screen, so I resumed following the hammer head around for a bit

Can't you feel when they are loose and sliding off?

I thought you were going to say that you fell in.
