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.

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.

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 take them off because I can’t see shit.

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

On. But I have phototropic glasses 😁

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.

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?

Under 5 minutes it isn’t

Especially if it’s a small store/ gas station

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.

Depends

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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 :)

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 have two of the same pair of glasses, one with normal clear prescription lenses, and the other with prescription lenses that are tinted brown and polarized. I often forget to switch them out because the sunglasses make everything look so damn good, but I carry them both with me and usually switch to my clear glasses if I’m indoors for more than a minute. But if I pop into a gas station or something for 30 seconds then I’m definitely not taking them off.

Clip ons, I don't always remember they're on if it's bright out, but I usually take them off

Not because it's douchey, but because it's harder to see.

I wear mine inside but I also have those ones with speakers in them so I always take them when I'm speaking to people either way.

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

I take 'em off. The inside of a building is glare-free enough.
