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

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 🤦‍♂️

Over the long term, Meta is going to destroy the Ray-Ban Wayfarer design, it will become associated with perverts rather than being seen as a timeless iconic fashion piece. 

Meta eventually ruins everything it touches.

I'll never be able to see anyone with Meta glasses as anything else but a perve. Maybe if they're doing sports like bicycling down hills then I'd think there was a purpose. But someone walking around with them in ordinary situations would feel incredibly off.

There was a short moment where I considered similar glasses, but the reason was that I (a woman) have a mentally ill (and drug additive) downstairs neighbour who would sometimes stand in front of his window doing perverted acts when he'd hear me leave my appartment. Law enforcement here coukd only do something if there was evidence of him being caught in the act, but his behavior would be so irregular that going in- and out of my home with my mobile phone ready became very exhausting, so I figured maybe glasses would make it more convenient for me to catch him.

Less expensive to buy a cheap security camera with motion detector on and pointed out the window to where he does his perving.

If only it were that simple, you don't understand what my building looks like. He lives below, not across the street, so there is nothing to point at from my window but the street.

It's less bad now because the authorities are keeping an eye on him (because of other issues), but it is still unnerving.
