Today, I woke up hungover and thirsty, I found a glass of water next to the sink, filled it up with more water, chugged it and went back to bed. I woke up an hour later to my best friend telling me she thought she lost her contacts. They were in a glass next to the sink. I ate her contacts. FML

I would never drink out of a glass that already was filled with water, especially after a night of drinking with no way to know what the glass contains other than water. Is it normal to even put contacts in a glass of water? I thought that you were only supposed to put them in their containers with the saline solution.

oh gross who keeps their contacts floating in a glass of water?

#37 all the way! That urban legend has been around since contact lenses became popular. I've worn contacts for about ten years now, and I would rather keep them in for over 72 hours than ever leave them in a glass of water. Ew.

Why were you drunk? You must be an alcoholic. Get some help before you kill someone in a DUI moron

I think it's plausible. He said 'cup of water' but as many FMLs do , he could have been referring to what looked like water. I carry contact solution around with me because sometimes I take my contacts out and clean them if they hurt. I do not, however, carry a case as my contacts are FocusDailies so they are only one a day. However, if I am at a friends house and I do not originaly plan to stay the night and have to go home in the morning, I look for a coup. This has happened to me countless amount of times. I place them in cups (or one cup even) filled with a few centimeters of saline solution, which happens to be clear just like water! Contacts won't typically move in the cup so i just make sure one is more left than the other and remember which is which. Notice he said he put more water in the cup? It's possible he didnt even taste the saline if there was only a little bit of the solution after he put more water in the cup.

Lmao #4... "will make your ass shit like mount vesuvious"

No FML. not a big deal. Just a little plastic and saline solution. I'm sure you've had worse in your mouth.

have you never heard about getting your own drink. it is the rule at parties and it should be the rule at home too. you don't know if i sick person has been drinking out of that cup or if someones contact lenses are in it. Really. Common sense man.

That's ******* disgusting you prick. And I'm pretty sure it's, you "consumed" or "swallowed" her contacts, not "ate" them since there was no chewing involved. God.

I'm pretty sure you would have noticed that the solution didn't taste like water. And you can't keep contacts in water... well you can, but your eyes will feel like dry shit.
