Is it douchey to wear shades inside, even if you’re only going to be in for a few minutes?
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?
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…
I take them off because I can’t see shit.
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.
I feel like it’s fine. I don’t know, I would maybe stare an extra second at the person wearing sunglasses. But really, who cares? Do what feels comfortable for you. At least here in the States, we are way past anachronistic rules like taking your sunglasses off indoors.
Manners. Maketh. Man.
Oops am blind and wear sunglasses inside. That makes me incapable of having manners. /s
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 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.
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!
Pretty sure people usually try to avoid you
Yeah, but they need to be sneakier as they steal away through the grocery store doors. Those doors are a funnel for awkward moments.
I wear clipons, because I need prescription glasses, and having to swap from prescription glasses to prescription sunglasses back and forth multiple times a day is an ADHD recipe for losing an expensive pair of glasses.
I take my clipons off indoors though, but that’s mostly because it’s really hard to see indoors with them on :P
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.
Depends on how long I’m inside, how dark the store is and how much of a fuck I give on a given day. I do think that most people think it’s rude/douchey/etc., but I’m not convinced that I should care about that kind of moralizing of etiquette (though I do care, to various degrees, what people think of me).
It’s somewhat harder to see inside with sunglasses, but I, too, wear prescription glasses so it’s a bit of a hassle to change to normal glasses.
I mean I used to wear sunglasses at work at my desk because everything in the office was just too damned bright. Same with a restaurant job for about 2 hours of sunset when the light streamed in the windows.
Who cares what people think? Protect your eyes and do whatever you like when entering a store. As long as you can see fine, it doesn’t matter.
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.
There are 2 types of people who wear sunglasses indoors: the blind, and assholes. - Larry David
I always take them off because I find it rude to keep them on.
