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 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.

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.

I just push them on over my head, and rare I hang them in my shirt.

Off. I’ll likely need to switch to readers.

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.

Depends on the sunglasses. Sometimes I’ll put them up on my head, sometimes I keep them on. I use them to deal with light sensitivity so they’re occasionally handy indoors.

I keep 2-3 shades on me of varying darkness at any time. Usually I’m wearing light rose-tinted ones.

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.

Usually take mine off. Though there are times I forget I’m even wearing them.

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.

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.

I take them off because I can’t see shit.
