In celebration of our 50 Ways to Lose Your Glasses launch, we solicited our employees’ own stories of eyewear-gone-astray. There were a bunch—82, in fact—and we rewarded the most outstanding/devastating of them with this here t-shirt.

A few winners (or losers of sorts, too, if you think about it):

Donated to an overwhelmed bartender.

While on a late night excursion home from a Warby Parker event, I lost the glasses right off my face on the B train!

Flushed down toilet while mourning death of goldfish.

I forgot they were on my face, and looked for them for approximately 15 minutes.

This one time at the Hoover Dam I was afraid my glasses would fall off my face, so I hung them on my shirt collar and looked over the edge… and then they fell off my shirt and into the Hoover Dam.

While backpacking with a friend through Rocky Mountain National Park, I tripped over a fallen pine tree and lost my sunglasses in a pile of moss.

My dad “lost” my glasses when I was 8, because he didn’t think I looked intimidating enough on the soccer field with them on.

I left them in an old jacket, which was lost in an old box, which was lost in an old closet.
