The "Shit I just lost" thread.

My dad left a 32gb stick at my house the other week to give him some movies and Top Gear, forgot it when he left. Had me mail it to him. Took 4 days to go from PA to VA, and when he got it there was just a ripped up envelope in a plastic bag with an apology note from the post office.

My goddamn glasses have been missing for a week. I wear contacts so I don't use them much but I do need them once in a while. And I really don't want to pay $100-200 to replace a pair of glasses I only wear for about 2 hours a week, max.

I blame the 1 year old in our home.

Bitch, do you evenZenni?

I grabbed 2 pairs for ~$25 2 years ago. Still going strong.

I had problems with my last Zenni glasses, they made me dizzy as hell. I tried getting used to them for about a month, then gave up and went back to my old pair.

They probably have some kind of return policy, but I didn't act on it.

Edited to say: I really thought this was about Mist losing her virginity.

Lost my glasses in a drunken stupor about a year ago, about 700$ down the drain. Now I'm using my no.2 glasses that is probably close to 10 years old. I can't see shit, but I'm also a lazy cheapskate so they'll do for now >.<

Ok, I will bite. WHAT glasses cost 700 bucks?

And where can Brahma get a pair of them in electric yellow!?

I paid $600 for a pair of Bulgari frames and lenses. The frames are titanium whatever and the lenses were the top of the line scratchproof whatevers. I bought them literally 10 years ago from this month. Still use them to this day.

Lost my cx 400 headphones about a month ago. Ended up picking up some S4's to replace them.

My wife had some cx 400's and I thought they were pretty good. Then I got some S4's and wondered what the hell I was thinking about those cx's

( ???)

Not terribly recent but I'm still pissed about it, but lost a Gopro when riding through some trails on my bike over Thanksgiving. Tried out a new attachment method that obviously didn't work and didn't see it was missing till it was too late and it was getting dark.

Armani-frame, scratch proof, anti reflex, extra thin glasses etc. etc. I usually go all in on the rare occasion I buy glasses (regretting it now ) And I'm pretty much blind as a bat without glasses so they were quite strong as well.

Aaaaand everything is expensive in Norway, at least it feels like it. >.<

Zenni's products are all over the place in quality. Also, if you have the frames with the single titanium bridge and no other supports, order spare frames. That bridge is a cinch to snap, and can do so even if you are quite careful with them.

First pair I ordered were half frames. Looked great but the corner support that holds the wire cable thing that holds the lens in cracked in like 3 weeks. Only order full frames plastic now and they've been solid as a rock. But yeah I'd be cautious ordering any of the more fragile styles if you are going cheap. Not sure on the quality of their more expensive frames.
