Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?
Indoor lighting with sunglasses on is too dim for my tastes. Alternatively, my shades might be too dark. I’ll put them in my bag or on the brim of my hat, if one or the other are available.
A few years ago, I went out and brought myself a nice pair of perscription sunglasses, trouble was I didn’t have any spare cash to buy regular glasses. So, for about 2-3 years I had shades on everywhere I went, day or night. What I noticed is that if you’re confident enough people don’t really mind or act any different. Now that I have both, I easily keep the sunglasses on without noticing and there is no fuss usually unless I go into a bank or something.
i keep em on because i have autism and eye contact is hard
I remove my hat and sunglasses because I was taught it is polite to do so.
Off. I’ll likely need to switch to readers.
I just bought some cheap sunglass readers! $5 at Dollar Tree.
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.
Holy shit. I never realized that this could actually bother people. I thought the jokes about it were based in the same place that jokes about popped collars are.
Usually take mine off. Though there are times I forget I’m even wearing them.
I always take them off because I find it rude to keep them on.
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
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.
Reaction lenses that take 10 minutes to calm down if I even glance at a window.
My solution? Dig deeper into the basement, tape up the windows and stare at a screen at all timea
I don’t use reaction glasses simply because they don’t work in cars due to the UV filtering in modern glass, so I have prescription sunglasses and often forget the clear ones so if I’m out and about they’re staying on otherwise I can’t see or read.
On.
I’m blind as hell without my glasses and I never remember to bring my extra pair so if I’m wearing my sunglasses they stay on no matter what. If it was only going to be a few minutes I wouldn’t swap even if I had my normal pair.
I never understood the “sunglasses indoors in douchey” thing anyway.
I don’t get it either. If people wear sunglasses, whether inside or outside, they chose to wear them for a reason. Even if the reason is just “forgot to take them off”. No one’s deliberately wearing sunglasses to be rude to you…
If I don’t remember to take them off in my car(or I’m just feeling carefree) then Ill wear them inside because as long as it’s well-lit I can see better with my prescription sunglasses. If it’s dim then I do that thing wear I lift them slightly to peak out from under them to focus on important visual details like prices.
On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁
