I use Dapper Dan, so I can’t do that as it smears the lenses.
Instead I hang them off my jade Maori fish-hook pendant. Sometimes I forget to tuck it back into my shirt, and have often turned up to business meetings wearing a suit and a prominent necklace, looking like a resentful besuited hippie wannabe who has had to become “the man”.
I’ll tolerate just about anything anyone wants to do with his/her sunglasses - except - CSI Miami’s Horatio Asshole Cane who uses his squeezed-together temples and the pompous donning of his sunglasses as super melodramatic moments to punctuate his farcical poses and super-hammy line deliveries.
By comparison, Horatio makes William Shatner, now Travel Agency Pimp, slam dunk Oscar material.
Sometimes one’s appearance matches one’s real self … 
Ya got me bang to rights. 
No. Do not be that guy.
Seconded.
In my hippy days I didn’t have a coat, so I wore a Cherokee poncho around the place. In Cardiff, Wales. :smack: Just don’t do it.
I wear sunglasses on top of my head all the time. I hate squinting, so I like having them on when I am outside or am driving. When I get to the grocery store, I get out of the car wearing them. When I step inside the grocery store, I think, “Oh, I don’t need my sunglasses inside.” So I shove them on top of my head. It’s really not a fashion statement; it’s a convenient place to put them. If my hair is down, they keep strands off my face as an added bonus. Also, the kind I like best are a little curved, so they don’t stay on a shirt front satisfactorily.
I have, however, seen at least a couple of women in my life who were wearing obnoxiously expensive (and quite ugly, IMO, but whatever) sunglasses as a headband, with no practical purpose at all. I think those women are very silly. To be fair, they probably think I am hideously frumpy, so we’re even.
As to the glasses getting smudged, I don’t have a problem with that. The only problem I have is if my hair is still wet from the shower and I store them up there. If it’s a warm day, they will be all steamed up and I have to wipe them. Usually on my shirt, because I’m so classy.
But if it makes you feel better to think that I’m odd because I shove my sunglasses up there when I’m not using them, you go right ahead. It’s no skin off my nose.
Hmmm, SLTT, [Travis Bickle]Are you talking to me[/Travis Bickle]? :dubious:
If so, then no, I don’t think anyone’s odd for that. I think some may be a little odd for doing so as a fashion statement, but what I think is no skin off their noses either.
The First Ammendment says so. The same one that says I get to think they’re (somewhat) odd. And be right! I mean, look at it with a critical eye. Try to envision Rick’s sunglasses on top of someone’s head. At night. In a chic club. :eek:
Peace,

I’m also trying to figure out why this is considered odd. Like you, I spend my day running inside and outside, and I definitely need my sunglasses while outside. They look funny stuffed into my shirt pocket. Most of the time I just shove them up on my head. Everyone does it.
It’s not a fashion statement - it’s so I know where they are.
You won’t find them there at night, only during the day when I go inside.
It’s lonely out here, being the only one who actually reads these posts.
Okay, not the only one, but still.
My sunglasses tend to live on top of my head during the day. Mostly so they are easily assessable when going in and out of places. The sun is ridiculously bright here and I wear them even if I am only going to be outside for a few minutes.
The only time they are on my head at night for example if I go to the bar after work on Friday and the sun is still up they are usually still on my head when I leave after the sun is down.
I wouldn’t wear them as a fashion accessory to a night club at 10 P.M. That would be weird. I might have them with me, either in my car or handbag, in case by the time I am heading home the sun is coming up.
It was a college indiscretion! Lots of us did silly stuff. Now I wear my sunglasses on my face, like this → 
I have a wallet and keys in my pockets so they’re out, I find them uncomfortable hanging off my T-shirt collar, and I think the little strap thing would be uncomfortable under the ear-phones I wear at work. That leaves on top of my head. I only wear them there when I’m inside, otherwise the glasses are either on my eyes or left at home.
Just to throw another wrench into the works, when the kids were smaller, and I’d always have to lean over to tend them, I’d hook my sunglasses on the back of my shirt, instead of the front. That way they wouldn’t fall out if I leaned over. I don’t know how many countless people had to point out to me that my sunglasses were back there.
I’m sure this behavior makes me a candidate for ridicule as well. It was functional.
Eeep! I was trying to be funny, not confrontational. Maybe didn’t work out so well, though.
Likewise, peace, man.
Uh… sometimes I’m out all day. I was wearing them to shield my eyes from the sun. Then night time came. I moved indoors. I have no other place to put them. They’d get crunched in my pocket. Where else should I put them?
I used to hook them in the front of my t-shirt, bu once I bent down to tie my shoe, they fell out and got scratched.
You’re saying “back of the head” looks better? It makes people look like Cousin It when you’r standing behind them.
ETA: I also don’t wear shirts that have a breast pocket. I’d tuck them in there if I did as long as they didn’t fall out easily. (See “hooked on t-shirt” above.)
Me too. I’ve been waiting forever to slip in that Taxi Driver line.
