Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?

    I wear mine inside but I also have those ones with speakers in them so I always take them when I’m speaking to people either way.

    You should wear them at night so everyone knows how cool you are. For even extra cool points, you can smoke and do drugs.

    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 just slide ‘em up on top of my head if it’s like, more than 2 minutes but less than an hour, especially in the summer.

    I have prescription sunglasses, and occasionally forget I’m wearing them. But I try not to wear them in a store.

    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.

    There are 2 types of people who wear sunglasses indoors: the blind, and assholes. - Larry David

    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 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.

    I have photophobia, so I leave mine on. Though recently, I’ve started wearing blue blockers, and those also help with my light sensitivity.

    Clip ons, I don’t always remember they’re on if it’s bright out, but I usually take them off

    Not because it’s douchey, but because it’s harder to see.

    I think the stereotype is douchebag because people don’t think about all the possible legit reasons. I wear them when I have a migraine, often even at home. You could also wear them because they’re prescription and you forgot the other pair at home. Or you simply forgot you have them on in the first place. We shouldn’t judge but people like to judge. And they mostly judge douchebag because maybe more people wear shades indoors as an effort to build a personality around their empty shell of a self.
