Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?
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 remove my hat and sunglasses because I was taught it is polite to do so.
“OMG that guy with his hat on is so fucking offensive”
Hat I do sunglasses I don’t depending on how much light hurts my eyes that day.
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.
Usually take mine off. Though there are times I forget I’m even wearing them.
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.
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 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
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.
On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁
I take them off because I can’t see shit.
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.

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 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.
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.
I have two of the same pair of glasses, one with normal clear prescription lenses, and the other with prescription lenses that are tinted brown and polarized. I often forget to switch them out because the sunglasses make everything look so damn good, but I carry them both with me and usually switch to my clear glasses if I’m indoors for more than a minute. But if I pop into a gas station or something for 30 seconds then I’m definitely not taking them off.
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.
You should wear them at night so everyone knows how cool you are. For even extra cool points, you can smoke and do drugs.
I do because at night the street lights are way too bright… Yes people look at me weirdly 😂
I can smoke and do drugs IN the store, right?
It’s the law that you have to.
I wear it to cover my bloodshot eyes.
