I had to get glasses when i was 17 years old but hated wearing them. When I moved out my parents house at 19 years old i threw them out. Now I am 32 years old and live in boyfriend noticed I was straining to see and he made an appointment to go to the eye doctor. I was horrfied when the doctor my eyes were bad i should wear them all the time except for reading. My boyfriend made me wear them all the time (I won't have if he didn't live with me). Any after about a month, I started liking wearing glasses. People thought I looked better in glasses, my boyfriend thought I looked sexier in glasses. I also noticed people took me more seriously and more intelligent. So I changed from a glasses hater to person who loves wearing glasses. I love the way I way I look in glasses, I feel sexier and people treat me more intelligently.

Most likely it wont be so much of getting stolen perse, but more like the investigation will get shuffled under the deck, by the time they get around to it, someone would have already stolen the money.

Loud music has never been a problem - I have a few friends who like to listen to loud music in bars and they don't drink a lot - maybe a bottle of bear and that's all. Guess the study should also consider visiting more bars located in different locations worldwide.
