I would've plucked them out.

I would have saved them. Nothing a little anti-bacterial soap cant take care of. I can imagine that whoever those were, they flew out of her purse as she was putting it on her shoulder. I doubt she ever knew...or ever will know.

That toilet is probably cleaner than the sink in the bathroom. I would have plucked them out w/out question.

Must you even ask?!

Do you know what glasses cost? I'm sure they fell out of their pocket and they didn't realize. Either that or this is the new dunk your glasses in the ladies toilet fetish I heard about on the internet.

Hey, Dan, is Steve Sher right about your new News Editor?

One of the Simpson's best scenes of all time:

"Mr. Burns: Thank you for visiting our plant, Dr. Kissinger.

Henry Kissinger: It was fun.

Smithers: We'll let you know if your glasses turn up.

Henry Kissinger: Yes, well, I'm sure I left them in the car.

Henry Kissinger [thinking] : No one must know I dropped my glasses in the toilet. Not I, the man who drafted the Paris Peace Accords. "

yes...i desperately need some new glasses.

Glasses? Yes.

A contact lens? Not so much.

I would have dumped my ass on 'em.

They look like reading glasses.

Non-Walmart glasses cost almost half a grand, for funk's sake. Pee washes off. You probably get dirtier wiping your ass.

Naw, they were stolen by the Mexican ambassador from the press conference. The BlackBerries are in the next stall.

Real glasses, no way am I leaving them in the toilet. They're expensive. Also, I need to see.

If they're $3 reading glasses, then no. If they're $300 prescription glasses, then yes.

I would have plucked them.

That water looks pretty clear. Worse comes to worse you flush the toilet a couple time to clean them (they're not going down the drain).

Sweet, I'm washing my glasses in public toilets from now on.

Being a man, I don't think I've ever seen such a clean floor in a bathroom stall...

And the seat looks dry. Don't see too many of those, either.

But yeah, I would probably take them out and wash them.

I would have put 'em on my wang and henpecked myself for a quick minute.

Take them out. As everyone's pointed out, prescription glasses are expensive. I got my pair for well under than $200, but still.

@6: Hee! I also thought of that scene.

Have you seen the price of glasses these days? I'd have plucked two-hundred dollars out of the toilet. Same thing baby!

Do what with them afterwards?
Turn them in?
The person that dropped them is not going to call to see if anyone fished them out. They left them there because they did not want to fish them out.
Just let the airport people know there is a pair of glasses in the shitter or just walk away. No need to fish them out. Not because it is dirty or anything. It is just water they are in.

Too easy. That's an incredibly clean looking toilet.

Speaking of the Simpsons what about the scene where groundskeeper Willy has his arm up to his shoulder in the toilet. "Och, woa-ho, that's a nasty clog. Ooooo ye've got yourself a partner have ye?"

The toilet's nowhere near the dirtiest thing in the bathroom. The sink, counter, soap thingie, handles, towel thingie and door are all probably worse. And, you know, if you WASH YOUR HANDS, you're going to be fine. Whoever left these in there is stupid.

i think you'd have to be fairly near-sighted not to pick them up.

@6: that was my first thought upon seeing this post, too. Ha ha!

Pluck & wash. Duh! Those glasses probably cost close to $500.

Heck, If they are prescription I'd consider rescuing them even if they were not mine. There are charities that take used eye glasses and fix them up for those who need them.

Perhaps the person who threw the glasses did not own them? Or was a horrible germ-o-phobe.

I drop my phone in the urinal every once in a while. Take out the SIM card and wash it, big deal... I did kill my last phone rinsing it off, but I was drunk and kinda hated the thing anyhow. If you're real squeamish, Lysol that shit at home. Chances are the toilet bowl isn't the dirties place you'll ever set your belonging. As a matter of fact, the keyboard your tying on probably is.

My main preoccupation here is with the situation of the Stranger staffer who took this picture. Imagine being in that bathroom and noticing that a camera flash just went off in a nearby stall. Sweet.

And Dan, asking such a question really just points out your privledge.

I dropped my night guard into the toilet one time (albeit my own toilet). Although I squirmed for a few seconds, the choice was pretty straightforward. Out of the toilet, lots and lots of soap and I think some rubbing alcohol and back into my mouth..

Hard to say from the photo.

$500 designer prescription glasses? Yes. Snatch them out.

$5 drugstore reading glasses? Not so much.

Yes, for sure. I'm blind w/o my glasses.

I'm sure all those douches who wear glasses as a fashion statement, but don't really need then, would have left them there.

Those were probably her own, and she didn't want to grab them.

And she's probably curious as to how much of a chickenshit germaphobe she is, so she gets it slogged to find out.

after flushing and getting some "clean" water in there I would grab them in a second.

I would have rescued them. Then washed them about 6 times in the sink.

my glasses cost $600. i would have dived in if i had to.

The nose they were sitting on was probably dirtier than the toilet they fell into - people's noses are really filthy.
