I spoke to the nice chap at Specsavers at about 11am today. "I've found the tinted pair, but I can't find the rimless pair anywhere, but you can come down at lunch time and pick up the tinted ones, and hopefully I'll have found the others by then."
You've found the sunglasses? On a day that's so foggy I can barely see to the end of the street? Talk about adding insult to injury.
Anyway, off I trotted at lunch time, under strict instructions not to breathe on anyone because that probably counts as germ warfare and is banned under the Geneva Convention. Stupid lawyers. Spoil all my fun.
Anyway, the reason he couldn't find the rimless pair was because the factory had sent them back in the same case as the sunglasses, so they were hidden by the sunglasses and the lens cloth.
So this poor bloke had taken every single pair of glasses awaiting collection out of their little plastic sleeves, opened every case, checked, "no, not those, this woman's going to kill me. Not those either," and been shouted at for creating a mess on the reception desk. I got there, he apologised for not being able to find the rimless pair, but he'll put the order through as urgent today. He fits the sunglasses to me and takes the lens cloth out to give them a polish.
Ah.
"They're not supposed to do that, madam, they're supposed to send everything in separate cases!"
Being evil, I laughed. Quite a lot.
