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

    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 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.

    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.

      Hat I do sunglasses I don’t depending on how much light hurts my eyes that day.

    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…

    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.

    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 have prescription sunglasses, and occasionally forget I’m wearing them. But I try not to wear them in a store.

    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 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.
