Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?
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 remove my hat and sunglasses because I was taught it is polite to do so.
Hat I do sunglasses I don’t depending on how much light hurts my eyes that day.
“OMG that guy with his hat on is so fucking offensive”
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…
On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁
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 how long I’m gonna be in there and how well I can see with them on. Well lit? In and out? They stay.
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.
I’ll probably take my sunglasses off inside because it’s going to be hard to see.
If the inside is as bright as the outside, then I might be inclined to keep them on.
i keep em on because i have autism and eye contact is hard
Depends
I have prescription sunglasses, and occasionally forget I’m wearing them. But I try not to wear them in a store.
Same. I occasionally happen to leave the house with only sunglasses and then I’ve got no other choice if I want to look at a menu behind a counter or somesuch. I still tend to take them off first inside and then go through this little dance in front of the staff where I theatrically put them on in an attempt to ensure that everyone understands my predicament. I’m British after all.
Take them off and replace them with my regular glasses. I need to see

Usually take mine off. Though there are times I forget I’m even wearing them.
I like to wear them in places with fluorescent lighting, but some people really get uncomfortable with that. Sometimes I imagine they must be feeling the same thing I feel when I need to make eye contact during a long conversation
It’s really nice to see the imperative for eye contact making other people uncomfortable for once because they can’t see your eyes 😈
Fuck eye contact.
