To the woman I saw wearing sunglasses when it wasn’t even sunny, you looked ridiculous. That’s like having an umbrella over your head when it’s not raining. —Do You Wear Your Sunglasses At Night, Too?

Do you wear your sunglasses on an overcast day?
Leave a comment
I’ve had people say this to me too, but I have a sensitivity to natural sunlight that will give me a severe migraine if I don’t wear sunglasses. I have to wear them on most overcast days as well. We know we look like idiots, but its either look silly or be in severe pain for days. If these were your choices what would you choose? Maybe she has the same sensitivity I do, it’s not all that rare
She was probably high as fuck.

Really, OB. That’s all you have?
*Sunglasses*? On an overcast day?
What business is it of yours what someone wears on an overcast day? Some people are sensitive to the light. And as a photographer, I love bright overcast days for the even and bright light you get.
Why don’t you go take the bus or try to bike downtown, so you have something to bitch about.
SET.

Overcast + snow on the ground is worse for me than a sunny summer day. I wear my douch glasses every day. Polarized lenses also help a lot with driving on rainey days when dumbasfuck drivers cant be bothered to turn on their headlights.
I wear sunglasses every single day of the year since I was 15. Rain or shine. My eyes are also super sensitive once I got contact lenses as a teen. I find that overcast light to be the worst! I dont wear them at night however.
As has been stated previously, there are people out there with legitimate light sensitivity health issues. Perhaps the lady you mentioned just underwent laser eye surgery. You have to wear sunglasses for upwards of 3 or more days following the procedure, whether you’re outside or inside, sunny or overcast.
I’m curious, what’s your opinion of people who wear long sleeve shirts in the dead of summer? Or perhaps people who where hikers when it is clearly sandal season? Or maybe people who wear leather jackets but don’t even own a motorcycle?
Now who looks ridiculous?
I have way better luck with the amber-tinted glasses.
And jokingly, I bought a motorcycle so I can dress up like a pirate all summer. Arrrrr!
Yarr!
I’m DYING to get out on mine. Put away for the winter.
Riding the bus SUCKS!
And for those that are checking, I realize that should be:
“Or perhaps people who WEAR hikers…”, not “where”.
3 out of 4 ain’t bad.
Yeah – and what about people who order assless leather chaps, online from a boutique in Milan and arent’t gay?
You know, theoretically speaking.

Maybe she had laser surgery? An eye infection? Photosensitivity due to an eye condition? A migraine? There are many reasons she may have been wearing them, so don’t be so quick to judge…it just makes you look like a narrow-minded moron 🙂
That awkward moment when you post before you read previous comments, only to discover that previous posters already had your points covered…lol
She might have a black eye or maybe she thinks she’s Jackie Onassis.
Is it daytime? Then I’m wearing shades.
I have macular degeneration and glaucoma in my family – honestly I do what I can for the little guys, I want to keep them as long as I can!
OB, get the fuck over yourself. If a complete stranger wearing sunglasses on an overcast day is enough to set you off like a lunatic, I suggest getting yourself help…or a hobby that doesn’t involve people watching.
Aren’t all chaps assless? Wouldn’t assed chaps be pants?
Caveat emptor >: (
oi, not this chap… I gots plenty o’ ass to go around.
OB , looks like you’ve already had a full on sunglass enema.
Just an FYI about the umberella.
WHen you use them for the sun …they are called a parasol
Although to be fair, some not all, but some parasols are not water proof ~;p
lamest bitch so far this year. hope it doesn’t make it to the print edition. if it does I’m writing a bitch about that.
secretagent, Only Corey Hart wears his sunglasses at night. Seriously, I’m the first one to make a Corey Hart reference? Help me! I’m stuck in the cheesie 80’s. Wonderful decade.
there are sunglasses and then there are prescription lenses with tint. i need to wear them when operating a motor vehicle, says so on my license
igot my eyes by NASA- perfectno thing wrong- just like my woggers
what about wearing a raincoat when its raining? now that’s a conundrum.
