Often I wear my sunglasses inside. For example, if we are shopping, Bunnings etc. I find it inconvenient to take them off and replace them with my other glasses, especially if I am chasing the kids, trying to get everything organised or we change from outside to inside frequently. My sunglasses are also prescription glasses.
They are not really dark and you can see my eyes through them.
Anyway, do you think it is rude to wear them inside? My DH thinks it is and I disagree. To me, glasses are glasses. Without them I have very blurry vision and in bright lights, my eyes water and it becomes uncomfortable.
I'm in the same boat - I've got precription sunnies. My old pair would have the lenses that returned to normal when you went inside but DD broke those so am back to just the ordinary sunnies.
I just make sure I shove them on my head if I'm talking to someone at the checkout etc. I think it's rude to expect people to talk to you if they can't see your eyes, otherwise no biggie if you're just wandering around.
If I'm just popping in and out of somewhere well lit (LOL) I don't bother taking my sunnies off and replacing them with my glasses, and sometimes I just forget. I don't take them off or put them on top of my head to talk to people because I figure that squinting at them is probably just as bad. As the sun glare up here is pretty full-on, it's not uncommon for people to wear sunnies inside.
my dad has his ordinary glasses tinted to almost sunglasses darkness as he has very light sensitive eyes and just can't cope with the glare - so i guess i'm used to it. sometimes i find it a bit annoying as i can't see his eyes - but mostly i can and it doesn't bother me
i have clip on sunnies - had the transitions ones that changed color and they drove me insane! so now i have magnetic sunnies - sometimes i forget to take them off for a while - i don't care though - people can get over it! my eyes are almost as sensitive as my dad's so i wear them all year round and whenever my eyes aren't coping
I feel a bit awkward talking to someone if I'm wearing sunglasses and they're not. I would think that it would be a bit rude to leave them on for a long indoor conversation with a someone you know, but I wouldn't worry about wearing them going through the checkout at Bunnings, especially as yours are also prescription glasses.
maybe its just me, but i think its rude to wear sunnies inside if your talking to someone (checkout, run into some you know) where i work (subway) i hate it when people where sunnies inside coz you cant se there eyes and whether or not they are paying attention, 'hello, im making your freakin lunch here' LOL
i wear sunnies 24/7 (pretty much) coz i wear them so much, when dont wear them i end spuinting and i get a headache, but i always take them off inside, i dont care if people wear them walking around or whatever, most times when i see poeple with sunnies on insdie i envy how they can still walk around and see properly lol
I guess it's one of those things like wearing a hat inside is 'traditionally' considered rude. I don't like dh wearing a hat inside but I will some times wear my sunnies inside if I am ducking into a shop etc but I will take them off at the check out If I were somewhere inside that is a social event I would consider it rude to be talking to people with the sunnies on.
