Sunglasses. Great protection from UV rays and good at preventing both cataracts & crow's feet (if you're into that kind of thing). On top of all that, most people look a little cool out in the sun wearing sunglasses. With your eyes hidden you are mysterious and tough to read. People watching becomes infinitely easier as well.
And then, the switch: inevitably you find yourself in a situation where you now no longer need the sunglasses. Possibly you went indoors. Maybe the sun has set. Maybe a solar eclipse? Whatever the reason you find yourself faced with a difficult decision: what to do about the sunglasses?
You can leave them on. You know that guy who wears his sunglasses inside? Don't be that guy. He's always hanging out with the guy who wears the band t-shirts to the the band's concert.
You can pivot them around your ears and rest them on top of your head. Girls pull this off quite nicely. Guys who attempt this look like they should have a white sweater tied around their neck. Gentlemen, leave this to the ladies.
You can take them off your head and wear them on the back of your neck. Who the fuck came up with this one? This should only be attempted is your neck is red and should accompany either a backwards NASCAR hat or visor of any type.
You can close the arms and hang them off the neck of your shirt. This works alright and is quite handy but it makes you look like you're trying too hard.
You can just hold them in your hand. Your hands are meant to do stuff so tying one up just holding sunglasses seems counterproductive.
Lastly, you can put them in your pocket. My pockets are frequently crowded places to begin with so placing something as valuable and prone to scratching as sunglasses in them poses all kinds of dangerous risks. Is that a glass's case in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
See, there is just no good option, except maybe getting someone else to hold them.
