Sunglasses on the top of the head

Where did this idiotic trend develop from and why has it become compulsory for a certain sort of person? They are trying to appear so important and they look like fools. How do we eradicate it?

What's worse is wearing sunglasses when it's dark/in pubs/nightclubs. C*nts.

Why would you let it bother you so much?

That's excusable, but it's the thing of going to a dark place and leaving them on. C*nts, <puts another euro in the swear jar>

if i'm wearing sunglasses outside and then i go into a shop i put them on my head, it's not like you can put sunglasses in you backpocket. Only problem is if i have gel in my hair then i have to go clean the glasses again:mad:

Anyway better to have sunglasses than to be walking around squinting in the sun

Or people driving wearing sunglasses on overcast days... you look like a fucking asshole and a dangerous asshole at that.

If you don't have a case handy, where else are they gonna go?

I don't have my personal shaved helper monkey with me at all times, so mine go ON my head or on the dash of my car.

Christ, I was in a good mood and then you went and reminded me that Brendan O Carroll exists.

He wears normal glasses on his head, looks even worse.

I was once on an afternoon piss up. It went well into the night. I was in a bar on South William St (dublin before any asshat asks). I had my sunglasses with me from earlier and they were now on my head as it was somewhat dusky outside.

So my mate decided to go for a smoke out the front. I decided to follow him and for a joke I put my sunglasses on and grabbed his shoulder and followed him as it I was blind. There were about three steps to the front door and as we reached them I let go and he walked of.

I stood there balancing on the step watching through my glasses the look of shock and horror as a bunch of people wondered if I was going to fall. I waved my arms about a lot as if to get my balance. They were frozen in fear. I even heard one girl call my friend a prick for leaving his poor blind friend at the steps.

After what felt like hrs and with nobody offering to help I walked down the steps as normal and went and enjoyed my smoke.

Now if I had not worn my sunglasses on my head that night then this hilarity would not have ensued!!

Hasn't anyone heard of photochromatic lenses? They cost only about €50 more than ordinary lenses, and automatically become darker when the sun is shining.:):)

I wear sunglasses nearly all the time when driving unless its very overcast or raining heavily. Even a normal overcast day it can be quite hazy and my eyes are quite sensitive to it so rather than squinting and my eyes getting tired I wear sunglasses regardless of what other people might think. Sometimes even when its raining I leave them on.

I had to shave little Timmy. He is now more aerodynamic as he swings through the trees getting my dinner ready. Do you not have a helper monkey?
Butlers are so last slave trade

That's got to be dangerous. Close the sunroof and put down the visors to darken the cabin.

Of course. I'd never actually shave George though. Who'd warm my belly at night if I did that?
Then again, West of Ireland monkeys need all the bumfluff they can grow these days.

Sunglasses on head or sunglasses as big as dinner plates. hmmmm :rolleyes:

Am I the only one who hangs my sunglasses on collar of shirt when not wearing them?

Much like this fine gentleman: http://www.posh24.com/photo/564795/giovanni_ribisi_hat_sunglasses

When not in use, I put the Sunglasses on backwards, as though I had eyes on the back of my head (I don't have eyes on the back of my head). If I have them on top of my head they just fall forward frequently, which is annoying.


I'm the only person I've ever seen do this, but it's efficient.

This thread reminded me to pack my sunglasses for my holiday tomorrow. You have not influenced me in the slightest on whether I'll wear them on my head or not but thank you anyway OP. :cool:

Why would it be dangerous? unless your wearing some crap cheap sunglasses that let in about 1% of the light. Funny you say put down the visors as with the visor you are cutting out a portion of your view completely how is that safer than sunglasses?? Personally I dont like using the visors unless I'm driving into direct sunlight.

I have proper sunglasses (with polarized lenses) and I have no difficulty at all. Overcast and night are not the same thing, its still plenty bright on a hazy over cast day to wear sunglasses, actually a hazy day is nearly harder on the eyes than a proper sunny day.

You had to drop that in here just to upset us, didn't you!?

Galwayguy35

When I see a fella with sunglasses on top of his head it gives me the impression that he thinks he is Mr Cool.
Even worse if he has the t shirt collar up.

We have but they look fúcking rediculous. Sitting in a super bright room and your glasses go this shítty brown colour.

Although in fairness people who wear them have given me hours of entertainment laughing at them

bnt

Silly idea. Your hair will get the lenses all greasy, and then you have to clean them. :rolleyes:

But yes I'm going to America for six weeks :cool:. It's a good holiday to wear sunglasses on so I've heard (I'm not going to the country solely to wear sunglasses of course, the chance to wear sunglasses is just one of several reasons. I'm just trying to keep my post loosely on topic...)

So After Hours will have to cope without the irreverent postings of Immaculate Pasta until September I'm afraid. I'll speak to you all when I get back of course xxx

Subliminally I have. You will do it as you always do and you will see some sophisticated foreigner smile and you will think "o no I do look like a Paddette".

Juwwi

I've seen people wearing normal glasses and a pair sunglasses on their head.

What the fook is that all about.

I do it all the time. If I'm outside I have them on, if I go inside I push them up onto my head. Simple.

I do it because it's handy. Just push them up on my head if I'm just dipping indoors for a few minutes. If I'm going in for a long period, I'll take them off.

Miss Lockhart

If I'm wearing sunglasses and I need to take them off briefly - in a shop etc, then I will put them on my head. I'm not going through the trouble of putting them in their case for 5 minutes just to have to take them back out again.

Couldn't give a f*ck what people think of it and tbh, I think if you go to the trouble of putting them away or whatever for a few minutes just to avoid this look then it comes across as quite affected and makes you look like you are trying too hard.

Now sunglasses in a nightclub is a whole other story.

I find putting objects (i.e barstoolsm dog ****, brickwalls) in there way seems to stem the flow of fools doing this.
