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

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.
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.
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!
I take them off because I can’t see shit.
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 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.
On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁
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.
Under 5 minutes it isn’t
Especially if it’s a small store/ gas station
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 wear it to cover my bloodshot eyes.
I can smoke and do drugs IN the store, right?
It’s the law that you have to.
Depends
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.
