I wear them indoors if I have a headache or if the glare seems a lot, even some shops, (a certain Tesco) I used to frequent that didnt have natural light, lots of LED or flourescent light, glare? can give me a headache or if I have one, make it worse. Dont know why it happens but sunglasses help. (Have been doing it for years).

They go well with my pyjamas.

Goodness, are you one of the "indoor pyjamas" brigade??:eek:

Reminds me of a Monday night on a beer years ago with a few from work. A lad in the pub had sunglasses on (this is around 1am in a late bar) and we decided he was blind or a Cnut so to find out one of the lads put out his leg to trip him the logic being if he fell he was blind and we would help him up and apologise but if he stepped over he was a cnut.... he stepped over.

Mine are a prescription. Without them I can't see properly.

Easier check out the ladies while wearing a pair of shades.

Cuts down on glare for those with light sensitivity due to glaucoma, migraines or cataracts.

People wearing sunglasses as protection for their eyes from Covid-19. 5 entry points on your face. Mouth two nostrils and two eyes. The as nutty as people wearing masks but if it makes them feel better then I'm happy for them

Oh, well that would have been alright then. :rolleyes:

Sunglasses in shops nowadays is to prevent virus from getting into your eyes.

I did this (slightly) earlier. I cycled to the shop but forgot to take the sunglasses off, but only for 20 seconds, I'd say. And then I felt embarrassed.

That's real clever an all. Really good that you were willing to trip up a blind fella rather than ask - like an adult.

Happened me before. Go out with prescription sunglasses on during the day and end up staying out later then planned. So I have been in pubs with sunglasses on at night.

Happened a friend where he came up for the weekend and we're his prescription sunglasses and turned out he Completely forgot his normal glasses so he was in sunnies all weekend.

These things happen. It's not a choice between being blind or a cnut.

P.s. Blind doesn't necessarily mean someone can't see anything. Having very poor vision or a light sensitivity.

I work with a bloke who is probably blind and wears sunglasses all the time. He has a big screen in the office and his keyboard has large yellow keys. He's probably technically blind.

Maybe they think they are at a Rave.

It's to hide the fact that you've smoked a ridiculous amount of weed , if they're in the supermarket , it's to buy munchies.

It's a helpful signal to others that you are a total dickhead.

Not including people who genuinely need to wear them of course.

Not many people do, but some places have huge windows and glass roofs, which is lovely but they can be as glarey as outdoors.

I’ve had to put on shades in some garden centre restaurants for example.

Some places have awful lighting. There’s one branch of Tesco I can’t go to because I get a headache every time.

Some people are very sensitive to bright lights - migraine etc

Some people may have forgotten their regular glasses and are wearing prescription shades for driving so just continued to wear them.

Others may think they look cool

Lots of reasons.

And how would you tell the two apart?

How would you know if someone is wearing sunglasses in the supermarket because they're a total dickhead or just forgot their clear glasses?

Usually when they condescendingly ask that you to clean their table and you’re actually a customer in the cafe.

I was browsing a shelf in a cafe / shop a few weeks looking at various types of sauces they had, just before covid 19 kicked off and these two middle aged “ladies who lunch” - shades on indoors, Range Rover outside said to me “I’ve been waiting ten minutes for my order! Also this table hasn’t been wiped properly.”

“Excuse me?”

“The service is terrible. Where’s the manager?”

“How would I know I’m shopping?!!”

She didn’t even apologise - just sort of sighed.

That was followed by patronising the waiter who was really helpful and friendly.

You can’t buy a personality that’s for sure.

I have some varifocal sunglasses so if I have those on I have to leave them on on a shop as I generally dont have another plain pair of glasses with me ok

Usually by their manner.

Those who need to wear them usually look fairly sheepish doing so as they are afraid of being thought a dickhead.

You can spot the dickheads as they normally want to look like counterfeit version of Conor McGregor or some other pointless twat or the heavily artificial wans who want to shag the McGregor clones.

Could have been on a bender all weekend. If you’re eyes are covered you still look fresh

If it's their manner that tells you about their character then it doesn't sound like the sunglasses are really that important.

In reality, it's just one of those completely irrelevant points that people are prejudice about. Back in olden times, the same conversation could have been about why people wear their hat indoors.

I used to worry about what people though of me wearing sunglasses in a shop or whatever so I would always take them off even if my clear glasses were in my backpack. Now I usually just do whichever suits me and don't worry about what people think. Supermarkets are usually very bright places anyway so its fine.
