AdjustingYourGlasses
#955
This Troper uses type three to pretty much show somebody that he just said something stupid. To adjust her glasses on a normal basis (which is needed frequently, as they are too loose), she just hits the side with the top of her hand. But, she knows a girl who adjusts her glasses by ''headbanging''
#956
Considering that's how I fix my headphones and my hair and occasionally other various objects which may be atop my head, I can only imagine that ''if'' I wore glasses, I would do that.
#957
I adjust my glasses by the bridge, and do that whenever I'm making a serious point. No one seems to notice, to my misfortune..
#958
I hadn't even paid attention to it before editing this page, but I've apparently developed a habit of adjusting my glasses with the thumb and the middle finger positioned on the hinges, with the rest of the fingers in a vaguely FacePalm-like spread. No idea where I've picked it up from, but I suppose it has to do with how often I get my hands dirty and want to minimize contact with both my glasses and my skin. Other anecdotes?
#959
I do that as well. Other times, I grab the top and bottom of one lens with my thumb and index finger and adjust them that way as well.
#960
I consciously developed that habit because I think pushing my glasses up that way makes me look cool.
#961
SquealingSandry Due to the fact that my ears are apparently set too far forward on my head (you can't tell by looking, but they are), my glasses are 'always'' sliding down my nose. I usually adjust them with either the index or middle fingers to the bridge, though I used to do the "thumb and middle finger on the hinges" thing before I learned to drive, and that it was hard to do so with your eyes blocked by the hand adjusting your glasses...
#962
This troper does the by-the-bride-with-one-finger type. Like the above example, hers slide down a lot. Since she likes to glare over her glasses at people, this is handy, because it's a good gesture to punctuate said glare.
#963
This troper has OCD, and her need for symetrical touch causes her to grip each side of the glasses, and painstakingly position them exactly right. It's a surprisingly long procedre. this troper usually has to slide them down her nose, up her forehead, then lift the glasses and tap the sides against her ears two times before it feels right to put them into position.
#964
This Troper is always doing method 3. I'm a mix of the Eastern and Western views.
#965
This Troper has developed the habit to adjust her glasses. And it irritates her brother to no end.
#966
This troper is always adjusting her glasses. ALWAYS.
#967
This troper usually does method 2, but if she's feeling annoyed she'll do method three with her middle finger to express her displeasure without getting in trouble.
#968
This Troper adjusts hers using method 3, although she's never tried the "flipping the bird" variant.
#969
I do method #2, only I use my thumb,index, and middle finger using one hand.
#970
This troper just got glasses, and finds that she really only needs to adjust them a lot when she's nervous or upset about something.
#971
This troper's glasses don't usually slip down his face, but when they do he usually uses that one finger method. Though he does take the glasses by the hinge between the thumb and forefinger and sort of shake them to adjust the little things that go on the sides of your nose, otherwise they feel weird.
#972
This troper uses method #3. A LOT. Either with my index finger, index and middle finger or my little finger if I'm holding chopsticks or other kinds of cutlery.
#973
This troper has been wearing glasses for 10 months and been adjusting them with method #3 the whole time.
#974
This troper uses #3, namely due to the fact that it involves the least chances to smudge her glasses (something that bugs the hell out of her). How exactly depends on the hand- right is pointer only, other fingers curled in a fist, left is middle but with all fingers out and slightly curved. Her father and brother tried to get her to use just her middle finger when she first got glasses.
#975
This troper has used #3 unconsciously for as long as he can remember. The fact that this apparently makes him a BadassBookworm made him smile. =D
#976
I do number #2 mainly, though #3 happens sometimes.
#977
I tend put a finger on the bridge and my thumb on a hinge, except when they need left-to-right adjustment(which is more often, come to think of it).
#978
This troper has something like 12 different ways of adjusting glasses. Some have wondered, especially during poker games, whether they are actually hidden ways for TheStoic to express emotion. They don't realize that I pick a random object in view and adjust according to it's texture. HilarityEnsues.
#979
This Troper tried #3, but it doesn’t work properly, so it’s either the Thumb and Middle Finger on the Hinges method, or (if both hands are free) pulling the little fingers back along the arms, pulling any hair trapped under them out while pushing the hooks back into place (this is also necessary immediately after putting them on).
#980
This troper started wearing glasses about a year ago. She was originally a #2, but ended up having to adjust both sides that way to feel "even," so she switched to both because it was easier and for the effect. This was shortly after she was introduced to OuranHighSchoolHostClub.
#981
This troper does method three. As the above troper said, it's a good way to punctuate glares.
#982
Since my nose is super waxy or something, my glasses slide down all the time. Usually I put my left index finger on the bottom corner of the lense and push it back up that way. If I'm in company, I adjust my glasses constantly by the hinges. My friend's anime-obessessed cousin refers to me as "meganekko" when he talks to me to says something about me (ex: Meganekko! You look nice!)...and I ''answer'' to that.
#983
This troper has a variant of method two, pushing her glasses up by the hinge and corner of the lens with the knuckle of her middle finger. It's more of an absent rubbing gesture, really. She also occasionally takes one lens between her thumb and forefinger, a sort of one-handed "goggle" variant.
#984
This troper normally uses method three, normally using the index finger on my left hand but sometimes I use my left thumb instead. Occasionally I will to a method four, in this case, tilting my head back 90 degrees so my glasses slide back against my face and then tilting forward slowly so they come to rest on my nose.
#985
This troper's glasses have a habit of sliding a bit, since they're somewhat crooked, and so he uses method three.
#986
I push 'em up
Shino-style.
#987
This troper adjusts her glasses so much, that even when I'm not wearing them I reach to adjust them.
#988
This troper does that too! She's use to them being on her face all the time except when she's sleeping or bathing.
#989
This troper wears bifocals, so when the glasses slip, It screws with my vision completely. Doesn't help that the only way that they could be slipperier is if they were coated in grease.
#990
I instinctively adjust my glasses when I'm about to talk to a nice girl or a girl I have a crush on.
#992
This troper near-constantly adjusts his glasses using method 3. My nose must be really slippery or something.
#993
MasamiPhoenix - I never noticed until somebody pointed out at work, but I use method three, normally with my middle finger and index finger together. Apparently, I look somewhat badass when I do it.
#994
This troper's glasses have heavy lenses in thin, light frames, and tend to slip down his nose. Methods 1 and 2 are used pretty much equally, with varying finger placement to brace them. Method 3 is much less used since his previous pair simply snapped in half due to overuse of it.
#996
This troper does an odd combination of methods 2 and 3. They slide down constantly, so she's always pushing them back up.
#997
This troper tends to do #1 a lot, and thus generates excessive Man-
Moe.
#998
This troper either does #1 or #3, depending on his mood.
#999
This troper uses #3, though he formed the habit to avoid smudging the lens since there's usually headphones or something else inhibiting using the hinges.
#1000
This troper uses #2 and #3 equally but sometimes for reasons that I don't know I use a weird version of #3 where my index and middle finger are on the lenses.
#1001
I usually do 2, because if I do 3, I often miss and smudge, but I often have a hand busy.
#1002
I have a very subconscious habit of adjusting my glasses, which I hadn't realized until one day when it was raining too hard for them to be of much use to me, so I'd taken them off, and would continuously find myself bringing my hand up to my face before I realized what I was doing. The other members of my group found this adorable, naturally.
#1003
I also subconsciously adjust them (almost always doing #3) and have more than once caught myself trying to push them back up after taking them off at night.
#1004
This troper started to subconsciously fix his glasses by pushing it up from the side with his index and middle finger or his thumb. I guess it's some sort of #2 variant.
#1005
This troper always does the second or third variety. Constantly. To the point of accidentally poking herself in the eye out of habit when she takes off her glasses.
#1006
This troper usually uses method 3 with his middle finger or method 2 in a weird way, grabbing both lenses and the bridge with only three fingers (or both lenses from underneath to conceal laughter), but he'll occassionally do method 2 straight when he deliberately wants to look geeky/smart.
#1007
This troper uses all three methods on very regular occasions.
#1008
I use method #3 - even when I'm wearing contacts.
#1009
This troper seems to always use method 3. Occasionally,I'll use method 2 if they aren't that far down,but otherwise I use 3.
#1010
This Troper's friend did this when we were about to do a debate. #QUOTE# Me: I'll tell you, Eliza,when we're together, we are unstoppable. #QUOTE# Eliza: And that's no shit. *
adjusts glasses*
#1011
This Troper does this all the time when he has to sit still, or stand still, or do anything else. Most of the time with index and thumb of right hand on right hand lens, but from time to time middle finger on bridge. ...
coincidentally.
#1013
This troper has always used type 3, with his middle finger. And yes, it has caused accidental bird flippage before.
#1014
This troper usually uses type 2, but sometimes uses type 3 (Index and middle finger)...generally when he's about to finish a longwinded explanation or
turn a game around.
#1015
This one used method three, as does apparently almost everyone else here. As a side note, she can't really imagine why anyone would adjust glasses from only one side, as they always end up feeling lopsided when she tries it....
#1016
This troper is another type 3 guy, usually, though he does seem to fluctuate between this and a type 2 at the hinges.
#1017
This Troper always does #3 - ''despite the fact that he doesn't actually wear glasses''. He usually only does it when he makes
a hilarious joke, though.
#1018
This troper always does #2, except I tend to my middle finger and thumb on the top and bottom of the lens and my index finger on top of the arm. And I always seem to use my left hand, even though I'm right handed.
#1019
I usually do Type 3. Sadly, I have not managed to pull off a ScaryShinyGlasses yet.
#1020
I always do Type 3, and have from the very first ''minute'' I got my first pair of glasses. (I wonder if this says anything about me...)
#1021
This troper frequently does #2, except he'll do it on one side, and then do it again on the other side with the same hand. He's considering doing a different way.
#1022
This troper always does Type 3, sometimes to actually adjust the glasses, but most of the time to make herself...er, feel smart.
#1023
This troper always does #2, usually when I'm pissed or trying to stop myself from saying something I know I'll regret.
#1024
This is going to sound crazy, but I actually go through all four styles, in that order, whenever I try to adjust my glasses. Pretty much I'm very OCD about my glasses, because I'm horribly near sighted without them. I use the first style as the first step to make sure they sit on my ears right, then the second style to make sure they aren't crooked, then the third style to push them closer to my face, then the fourth 'style' where I scrunch up my face and it somehow pushed my glasses forward and away from my face just a TINY bit, so that it is further than when I first pushed it up with style 3, but closer to my face than before I pushed them up with style 3. My friends and family often tease me about how I do this, but any time I don't do this in nearly the exact same way, my glasses feel really uncomfortable and I can't see things as well because they'll somehow tilt a bit.
#1026
This troper does the same, except she does it out of habit, so people can't actually tell if she's doing it on purpose or not.
#1027
This Troper does this somethimes, due to a little bended handle that cuased them to keep falling
#1028
This troper will often push her glasses up with one finger, only to squint to make them fall back into there original place.
#1029
This troper does it either by the arms or by a corner. I found that doing it by the corner kinda twists them though, so I do it more often by the arms.
#1030
When this Troper was in seventh grade (13 years old) she would adjust her glasses, which always slid down her nose, by grimacing. She'd wrinkle her nose – pushing at it with her mouth for power boost – and then stretch her face as far as she could, then relax.
#1031
This troper uses #1 and 3 essentially switching from cutie to creepy.
#1032
This troper alternates between #2 and #3, and has even used it in place of making a witty comeback in times where I can't talk (such as the Day of Silence), with about the same effect as if I had actually said it. I also have an odd hands-free variation that requires the ability to wiggle your ears. I wrinkle my nose to push my glasses up, then pull my ears back to get them to settle. When I untense the muscles in my ears, the glasses stay pushed up, settling into a natural position on my face. The last variation that is purely used for adjustments.
