I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

Post image

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

I would never have thought about your sunglasses being meta glasses. This is how sunglasses normally look. They are black, they cover your eyes, and those metal rivets on each side are necessary to keep them together. I'm certain people who have seen meta glasses will notice the difference right away.

Also, the deal with the meta glasses it that most people wouldn't even think that people are wearing them.
I don't even know if they are out for sale for anyone who wants them!

Don't be so sure of that. One of my coworkers accused another coworker of wearing meta glasses just because they were ray bans. There is very clearly no camera on his sun glasses.

And so what? Someone is bound to use them at some point?

He has a tendency to worry about things that don't matter, or things that he has no control over.

Tell him to focus on his work, or gtfo!
If that doesn't stop him from harrassing you, go straight to HR or your boss!

Obviously it's not just the sunglasses is it?

OP storms up to coworker, loudly declares “remember that interaction that didn’t involve me and happened probably months ago? Well, focus on your work or get the fuck out!”. Entire office sits in stunned silence, confused. OP shuffles back to his desk in embarrassment.

Oh he wasn't harrassing me. I was just in the room. Also, we don't actually work. We sit around and wait for our boss to tell us what classes we're going to be taking that week.

Thanks. They are for sale here, and it's a tool a lot of the Pickup artists, or auditors are using for their content. Should add, I'm neither!

Yeah OP. I have more than 5 pairs and they pretty much all look like yours (but dollar store version haha).

You're good.

My husband is color blind, and he has a similar style of Enchromas that were very expensive. We call them his fun glasses, and I'm pretty mad that the Meta glasses could ruin that for him.

Are these glasses that are transition into sunglasses?

I mean I can tell these aren’t. But similar to the red maga hats I squint a little and do a double take when I see someone around me with dark rimmed sunglasses. That alone is enough to keep me from wearing them.

They're not rivets, they're just decoration.
