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 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 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.

    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’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 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

    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…

    If I don’t remember to take them off in my car(or I’m just feeling carefree) then Ill wear them inside because as long as it’s well-lit I can see better with my prescription sunglasses. If it’s dim then I do that thing wear I lift them slightly to peak out from under them to focus on important visual details like prices.
