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 remove my hat and sunglasses because I was taught it is polite to do so.

i keep em on because i have autism and eye contact is hard

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

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

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.

I always take them off because I find it rude to keep them on.

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.

Barring any eye issues, I remove them always when speaking to people. I find it disrespectful to speak without making visible eye-contact.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁

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.

There are 2 types of people who wear sunglasses indoors: the blind, and assholes. - Larry David

Under 5 minutes it isn’t

Especially if it’s a small store/ gas station

I have photophobia, so I leave mine on. Though recently, I've started wearing blue blockers, and those also help with my light sensitivity.

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.

Depends

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.

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.

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 have see-through sunglasses, because they are specially made for my eyes. I can’t take them off inside because then i cant see well. But thats exactly why i opted for see-through glasses, so people can still see my eyes. They aren’t hidden :)

I believe that makes a difference to people, they just want to be able to see your eyes :)

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.
