Narrative:
With FAA maintenance inspector in acm seat, first officer left cockpit for lavatory use. I did not immediately put on my oxygen mask (but took it down and had it in my hand) as required, due to needing my eyeglasses at the time. After I did put the mask on, I took it off during a turbulence, autoplt disconnect, encounter. Again, this was so I could put on my eyeglasses. FAA inspector submitted this incident in his report. The pressurization system was working normally and the aircraft had no recent history of pressurization problems.
