I thought I left my glasses on the RER last week (totally engrossed in my book, I had them riskily resting on the seat next to me). When I realised, I went back to the RER station and stammered in my awful French (whilst squinting through myopic eyes haggered from the few tears which had escaped at the moment of realisation): 'I've lost my glasses on the RER this evening...' to which the station master replied with a killer combo of shrug and "pfft", and then 'We don't have any glasses here.' Ahh... the moments in my live that I've wanted to crawl up and die (that - however - was nothing compared to the feeling of finding the glasses at work the next day!)
