After accidentally sitting on my favorite pair today and destroying them, it got me wondering how many pair of shades I’ve owned in my lifetime.
I’m just gonna go with a round number and say about 50. I only buy cheap sunglasses btw
Five maybe? I lost one nice pair to a wave at the beach, and since then I buy mine at truck stops and dollar stores. It’s much less stressful to wear glasses that cost me $1.50 !
Ok I would think you might be somewhat younger. This has been my philosophy for years but you start to rack up the numbers as time goes on!
I’m late 30s.
I can’t remember <13. So, at least the last 30+ years I’ve had 4 pairs of sunnies. Maybe 5 pairs.
I’ve still got 2 of those pairs.
I’m tempted to get a fancy pair that look good instead of just sunnies that look good enough (ie, more than $100). I just don’t wear them enough… Maybe a couple weeks a year?
What’s the point in buying good sunglasses, and why would I lose a pair?
I’ve had the same wallet for 15 years, I’ve been locked out once, and I’ve lost my phone about 3 times (all of which I’ve got my phone back).
I’m recovering from about 10 years of undiagnosed depression. Recently (like a year) it has affected my short term memory, to the point I thought I had ADHD or something else. Effecting my work, my ability to live day-to-day, my socialmlife.
I now realise, while ADHD might be a factor, undiagnosed depression has devastated who I am VS who I think I am and who I want to be.
Are there other explanations for your forgetfulness?
Is it age related? Anything else you find you are forgetting?

Something isn’t adding up here…
Wow you’ve got a good track record compared to me lol.
Countless times, I’ve just lost them randomly or misplaced them or broken them.
I was actually a lot more of a socialite before covid, so I think that could’ve been a big factor. I think the favorite pair I had(that I just broke) would probably got at the beginning of lockdown. I guess my point is I haven’t been losing/breaking shades as much as I did when I was out doing more stuff.
The last fancy shades I had were a gift given to me. I ended up accidentally leaving them at a restaurant/gaming center. Just one of my many examples of sunglasses mishaps.
Well, I don’t wear sunglasses
I can not count. I learned my lesson about buying expensive sunglasses with a single large wave at the beach. I’ve been buying cheap polarized wayfarer style sunglasses since. Do they break… yes. Does $5 hurt me at this point no
Grew up in phoenix… my eyes are very sensitive to light. I rarely can find lenses that are dark enough…
SO MANY…. Seriously well into triple digits
Maybe 6. One prescription, and two dollar store pairs. I wear sunglasses pretty much any time I go outside unless there’s no sun. Year-round.
