you suddenly go from a cold, wet place into a
warm place! I hated having to stand around
waiting for my glasses to de-fog whenever I'd
go into one of my family's greenhouses in the
wintertime.

When I was in college, I use to work in the
college food service's distribution warehouse,
as an order picker. That meant visiting various
locations in the warehouse to pull goods off
the shelves and stacking them onto these
huge metal carts which were then
shrink-wrapped and loaded onto a box truck
for delivery to the various food preparation
locations on campus. Pulling stuff from the
coolers was bad enough, but I really hated it
when my orders contained a lot of frozen stuff.
You always had to "suit up" in a parka (and the
ones provided were old and stinky) and upon
coming out I always had to spend several
minutes defogging my glasses. (This was in
Florida. Meaning extremely humid air outside
the freezer.) I took to carrying a washcloth in
my pocket for the express purpose of wiping
the condensation from my glasses, which
were nearly instantly coated with fog every
time I stepped from the freezers back outside.
Gah. You don't want to try to maneuver one of
those huge metal carts while you're effectively
blind.

Still, I don't want contacts.
