  • I wear my sunglasses...into the bank and at night

    When you enter a bank, remove your hat and sunglasses. If not, you look like a bank robber.

    Don't get butt-hurt when a teller or other banking employee asks you to remove them. I don't care if you know the Pope of the Bank, remove your hat and sunglasses.
    When it comes to getting things done, we need fewer architects and more bricklayers. ---Colleen C. Barrett---

    Or if entering a convenience store, please take off the ski mask. Even if you're a regular, the nice cashier is probably going to freak out until you start talking and/or show your face.

      One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
      The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

        Nothing irritates me more than customers going through the entire transaction wearing sunglasses indoors. As soon as I enter a building after being outside on a bright day, my sunglasses get taken off, mainly so that I can actually see.

          I wear prescription sunglasses, so I often forget to take them off when I go inside a store... I forget that I'm not wearing my normal glasses. *Shrug*

            That's one thing, but I just find it vaguely condescending to try to process a transaction with a customer who's wearing their sunglasses the entire time (and more often then not yapping on their cell phone as well). At least look the cashier in the eye!

                This exactly. If I'm doing a quick in and out it's too much hassle to fish my normal glasses out (they live in my backpack).

                  Unfortunately, I need to wear my sunglasses in most supermarkets to reduce sensory overload. Ditto for my local hospital (they have those nasty fluorescents).

                    Try wearing Transitions lenses . . . it'll take a few minutes for the dark to fade once I'm back inside - especially if I've been standing outside the back door and right in the path of the sun.

                    I swear I'm blind for a couple of minutes after coming back in before the tint fades and it's back to indoor mode.

                      I've had the transition lenses for years. I love them.

                        I will also wear my Rx sunnies indoors if I'm just running in for something quick, like grabbing an iced tea at the "Flying Goose" while my gas is pumping.

                        Well, not at night, obviously. Unless I've lost my A pair of regular glasses ... again ... and left my B and C pairs at the office and/or home ... again. Then I'm pretty much wearing sunnies everywhere. (They do have a lovely Audrey Hepburn vibe).

                        To be fair (to myself) this is an area known for sunny weather and lots of folks wear sunglasses everywhere.

                          That did happen to me when I worked at a convenience store. I had just gotten robbed the week before . When someone walked in wear a ski mask I thought "oh no not again!" He then took his mask off and I recognize him. It was extremely cold(for Florida) that night and he had been walking.

                            I have worn glasses for almost 30 years, and finally have my own set of prescription sunglasses. They’re honking big, though, and not totally black so you can still see my eyes if I wear them indoors. I do this a lot when grocery shopping cuz I don’t want to dig out my regular glasses, lol.

                              Been using Transitions for 20+ years, and I love 'em! I've only had them take more than about 30 seconds to go from dark to clear if it's really cold outside, though (in which case they take longer to ...transition...(that was a joke, m'boy! You're supposed to laugh! </Foghorn>)), but they also get much darker than usual when I'm in sunlight.
