What cheeses me off

Nope that is why they make multi-focals (3 prescriptions in 1 pair of glasses) or why you have different pairs for different purposes.

A magnifying glass is after all just another lense; albeit far less practical as it ties up the use of one of your hands.

And of course if you are getting surgery on any cataracts they can also replace your lenses, but you still may need glasses for smaller fonts especially if the new lenses you chose was for distance or mid range as the artificial ones aren't as flexible as natural ones.

No such thing as legal size font, companies are permitted to use size 2 font on packaging, is it annoying sure, but if you need a magnifying glass to read it you need reading glasses.

Even with my reading glasses on, one huge bugbear is trying to decipher the 'use by' date on stuff.

that's if you can find it especially if it's in a dark colour on another dark colour - oooh I sound like one of my old maiden aunts

I think all companies should put their phone menu on their website. Currently ringing the RAA and honestly it would be quicker to drive into the city and talk to them.

There is a spiel at the beginning then there are 6 options of course my option was 6 and then there are 6 more options - you guessed it - number 6 again.

Then you get a minute or two of advertising spiel and then you get a lovely Asian man who keep telling you that they will sort your problem and how happy they are to help you blah blah. These people are lovely but honestly I don't want to be told they are going to be nice and help me - just ask what I want and fix it.

I told him what I wanted - ok I have to validate you. Puts me on hold for 5 minutes comes back and says I have an agent - what was it you wanted again.

On hold again. 20 minutes and counting but it does give me time to write a complaint.
