Oh yeah, quick gas station pop-in, no problem. But if I’m at the grocery store for a while, searching for unfamiliar ingredients in my sunglasses, then I’m very self-conscious. It feels antisocial to hide your eyes indoors.

That sort of thing still exists. Maybe the technology has progressed a lot, but when I tried them in the past, I wasn’t that stoked on them.
Yes, because it was just one woman whose disappearance really wasn’t that remarkable, even if she was a remarkable woman. It’s hardly comparable to the Titanic.
If your vision is so bad that you need to wear prescription sunglasses to get through a darkened spin class, you should probably write yourself a reminder note to bring your regular glasses.
I rarely join in on the celeb gossip or smackdowns, mostly because I only know what I read here. I actually really like Schumer for the most part, but I had to mock a little on this one. I mean, is someone going to climb off their bike mid-class to get her autograph? Maybe someone would stealthily snap a pic for…
We have phones that you can wear on your wrist but we’re still stuck carrying around two sets of glasses. When will we get some futuristic eyeglasses that adjust for any lighting situation automatically and can be fine-tuned with an app? I’M WAITING.
I usually just explain to people that 1) Oops, I forgot my regular glasses or 2) Sorry I’m wearing shades inside, my eyes are crazy sensitive to bright light.
The other day a dude in front of me ordered some complicated caramelcrappiato and the barista moved agonizingly slowly for every step. First, she filled two big squeeze bottles with caramel (one for later!), then put the package away in a remote cabinet, then made the drink like it was her first time. Meanwhile, I’m…
Writing is my day job and I still looked it up to make sure I was correct before explaining my word usage to you.
He gets a pass. I have congenital cataracts so I can relate to that. Not the same as wearing sunglasses in an already darkened room, however.
I dunno, sometimes I briefly wear my sunglasses in a shop or other public place because they are prescription. But I always feel like a dick because who does that?
“Inconspicuous” means not attracting attention or unnoticeable. To substitute, nothing could make you less unnoticeable. You could also say nothing could make you more conspicuous, but I went with the other option.
What could make you less inconspicuous than wearing dark shades inside? Did Schumer mistake them for an invisibility cloak, or does she just hate making eye contact with regular humans?
Ugh, been there, done that. Former smoker here. No judgment, I miss it!
My husband uses snus. He used to buy a type that made him spit constantly. And he’d spit into water bottles and such. I’m sure you can guess what’s coming next. I absentmindedly grabbed a bottle of water in the car and drank his disgusting spit instead. Literally gagged just typing that sentence. Then came the only…
No, making a note to myself, thanks!
When I turned 40, my husband announced that my life was half over. So, no? And probably don’t let my husband give birthday toasts.
A houseguest of a former roommate twice left massive loogies on our shared sink counter and I found new digs not long after. Human slime is so gross and I don’t want to see it. As for street loogies, maybe we should follow Singapore’s anti-spitting lead? No caning, though, just public shaming.
Popping back to post this interesting account of how much was done to find her and why they stopped the search. I didn’t know that part of the story so well.
Not as much as a mega-quake. I’m married to a geologist who studies subduction zones, so even when The Big One isn’t big in the news, I remember. And fear.
