if all clear glass in the world were to immediately turn opaque, what would be the most amusing consequence?

Answer 1

Going to the aquarium would be pretty boring!

I couldn't use my cellphone. Or ATM machine. Sliderules would came back in fashion.

Grocery checkers would have to remember how to use a 10-keypad again (cause the laser is under glass).

Several hunted animals would get away as the rifle scopes blacked out.

TV would immediately be like looking at a black piece of paper. People would get a whole lot more done, talk to each other, get out and exercise. Starting to sound pretty good.

Watching MTV would be just like listening to the radio.

The artwork my wife has had framed that I don't like would no longer be a marital issue.

Not amusing but dramatic: Everyone driving a car (at 100+ kph!) and those flying an airplane under VFR (visual flight rules) would immediately have some serious navigational problems. Oh, there's glass in front of the compass, altimeter, GPS, etc so all the commercial flights under IFR would be an exciting ride - the control tower trying to talk them down for a landing.

Answer 2

Good thinking. I think you already have the film of amusing scenes running in your mind of the consequences. Well it would be interesting plot to sell to hollywood or bollywood producers.

Answer 3

The value of those corner offices (with windows, presumably) would plummet. To say nothing of the so-called glass ceiling!

Answer 4

most people with spectacles would go blind as their glasses turn opaque.

not really funny for me as I wear glasses.

also imagine driving/flying around with opaque windshields.

scary.

Answer 5

Sting's glass eyes would cloud over rendering him incapable of driving a fortlift truck.

Answer 6

Peeping Toms would have to go to a support group for not being able to peep anymore.

Answer 7

You would not be able to view your monitor, and thus unable to read Yahoo answer's responses! (unless you have an LCD :/)
