Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?
Whenever I see someone with sunglasses inside, I always chalk it up to a) not being arsed to remove them, b) light-sensitivity due to migraine/hangover, or c) being on some sort of drug (sunglasses = invisibility cloak/comfort blanket for some folks).
All of these are totally valid. Douchey is as douchey does, if folks are acting polite/keeping to themselves I don’t judge.
Here 's one more. I wear glasses for my bad eyesight. I have sunglasses that have the same value of correction. Sometimes, in the summer, when I’m out and I don’t think I’ll go inside anywhere, I leave my normal glasses are home.
So then, when you stop unexpected for groceries, you look like a douchebag with your sun glasses on, but you can’t really take them off because you don’t see shit without them.
I always take them off because I find it rude to keep them on.
I feel like it’s fine. I don’t know, I would maybe stare an extra second at the person wearing sunglasses. But really, who cares? Do what feels comfortable for you. At least here in the States, we are way past anachronistic rules like taking your sunglasses off indoors.
Manners. Maketh. Man.
Oops am blind and wear sunglasses inside. That makes me incapable of having manners. /s
I have see-through sunglasses, because they are specially made for my eyes. I can’t take them off inside because then i cant see well. But thats exactly why i opted for see-through glasses, so people can still see my eyes. They aren’t hidden :)
I believe that makes a difference to people, they just want to be able to see your eyes :)
I dunno if you know this but everyone has see- through sunglasses… otherwise they’d be called sunwalls. ;)
Damnit I was going to make the same joke.
Maybe they just wear the frames?
Maybe, but you notice how you used the word ‘frames’ there instead of ‘sunglasses’? I bet if they were wearing empty frames they’d have said that, what with those two words meaning different things and all. :P
if I’m high and it’s bright in there im keeping my vibe thanks
I never take sunglasses off inside, unless there’s an actual reason (like not enough light, or if I need to see colors correctly when shopping). There’s always too much light everywhere, it’s always too bright, and it’s even worst at night because of the contrast between the darkness and the blinding lampposts. So light sunglasses everywhere.
As a bonus, that way I never have to bother with eye contact. Couldn’t care less if people think it’s rude: if I took the sunglasses off I’d inevitably forget to make eye contact and they would think it was rude anyway. Fuck eye contact.
Barring any eye issues, I remove them always when speaking to people. I find it disrespectful to speak without making visible eye-contact.
What i hate is when someone gets offended i don’t initially recognise them when they’ve got half their face covered.
Take the fucken glasses off and say hi properly you awkward ass bastards! I got shit to do, and i don’t need to feel bad for the next half hour because you made me squint to recognise who the fuck you are!
Pretty sure people usually try to avoid you
Usually take mine off. Though there are times I forget I’m even wearing them.
Yes.
You let people see your eyes so you can talk and put them at ease. What are you, a cop in Alabama whose authoritah someone needs to respect?
I have photophobia, so I leave mine on. Though recently, I’ve started wearing blue blockers, and those also help with my light sensitivity.
I wear clipons, because I need prescription glasses, and having to swap from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses back and forth multiple times a day is an ADHD recipe for lossing an expensive pair of glasses.
I take my clipons off indoors though, but that’s mostly because it’s really hard to see indoors with them on :P
Any advice for choosing clip ons? I’m in the same boat
There are 2 types of people who wear sunglasses indoors: the blind, and assholes. - Larry David
I mean I used to wear sunglasses at work at my desk because everything in the office was just too damned bright. Same with a restaurant job for about 2 hours of sunset when the light streamed in the windows.
Who cares what people think? Protect your eyes and do whatever you like when entering a store. As long as you can see fine, it doesn’t matter.
I haven prescription sunglasses. Generally I don’t wear them inside, occasionally I’ll forget that I have them until after I’m in the store though. My eyesight without glasses is terrible so I leave them on. Sorry if I look like an asshole but I would have trouble navigating my way and finding what I need without them.
Transition lenses are great. Try them for your next pair. They do lag a few seconds transitioning back to transparent when going indoors.
They kinda suck for driving though, because they don’t turn dark inside a car.
They will also go dark when it’s overcast outside because they react to UV and not visible light. So your glasses will get dark when it’s already cloudy, which is not great
I guess I never noticed. I always wear a ball cap when driving, always have before wearing glasses. Just another tool I use and have not given it much thought.
They take ~2 minutes to go from dark to light and most don’t ever go perfectly clear so there is always a super slight tint.
They go dark super fast though… like 10 seconds.
Depends on how long I’m inside, how dark the store is and how much of a fuck I give on a given day. I do think that most people think it’s rude/douchey/etc., but I’m not convinced that I should care about that kind of moralizing of etiquette (though I do care, to various degrees, what people think of me).
It’s somewhat harder to see inside with sunglasses, but I, too, wear prescription glasses so it’s a bit of a hassle to change to normal glasses.
