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?

Ya ive done it. i didnt know at the time, that water is a no no with contacts. so i put it in a glass of water. ya try putting those in ur eye the next day.... omg its like acid in your eye. the contact itself turns into glass.... its horrible. but i did it, i had eyedrops to lubricate them and it was ok. but a very bad idea. i think water dehydrates them.... and i have different prescriptions for each eye. u just put the glass somewhere where people are not around, and just put them side by side, like the left glass is for the left eye, and the right glass is for the right eye... simple. not that big a deal. just dont switch them around the next day.... and i myself almost emptied the glass. cause u forget lol, cause its a glass.

Obviously people who never wore contacts don't get that sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. You don't always plan to be somewhere you have to spend the night at and sleeping with contacts hurts like a bitch. You wake up in the morning with them dry and suctioned to your eye. It is sometimes better to put them in water, believe me been there done that.

you don't put contacts in water. you should have tasted the solution. I understand. you were tired as he'll but eww. drinking solution .

shut the **** up queer nobody wants your input

I bet %90 of the people who vote YDI are just jealous that the OP actually has a life and goes out and drinks.

Contacts shouldn't be touching water. Did you guys hear about the girl who lost her eyesight because her contacts were constantly touching water? Basically amoebas from the water furrowed their way into the contacts and into her eyeballs rendering her blind. Source: Google this story. It made international headlines.
