Completely unwatchable

I actually like the first way. It sort of sells the reality setting in. Also the glasses are clearly still on the table in the close up frame

You should try riding around in a mystery van and unmasking cartoon villains more often.

I've asked my kids to fetch my glasses for me a few times... They know not to handle the lenses...

IMO, the weird part is taking your glasses off in the first place, especially when you apparently need them for desk work. It's not like they're coming in from outside or were taking a shower, they were clearly already sitting at the desk in working position.

I got some new button up shirts (they are fishing shirts) and the bottom of the button up part has a glasses cleaning cloth built into the shirt.

This is why I have around 5 thousand cleaning cloths distrubuted around the house and car. Never a smudged glass.

So don’t ask other people to hand them to you.

Nothing irrational about that.

Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose

This is the way.

They're saying they trust you, you dingbat.

I hate it when people ask me to pass them the salt. They're putting the responsibility of not spilling it on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

If it hasn't been used yet there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the shaker. Do I grab it by the cap or by the sides? Surely it's too risky to grab the cap.. If it's not screwed on correctly.

I usually pick them up by the handles, while locking my fingers against the bridge, so that I can't slip against the glas.

My glasses don't have a frame, but there's no chance that they'll break from holding them from the sides of the glasses. Though it does increase the risk of smudging them.
