100's at least. Just two years ago I bought a shit load wholesale. Minimum you could buy was 30. I have now worn out every pair of those cheap sun glasses and need to get more.
Three. I bought a cheap one, discarded it, bought an expensive one later on which I still use and when I moved there was a pair of sun glasses just laying there on a cupboard from the previous tenant. So now that one is in my drawer.
Like 2 in total as a child. After everyone and me realized I was getting blind as a bat before being 10 I started wearing glasses and never used shades again. Another reason I avoid the beach and swimming pools.
Like 50. I used to have a ridiculous amount of sunglasses I got given as free merch. Nowadays I just have a prescription pair of sunglasses I replace every few years
I buy my sunglasses in bulk. I only like one kind, but I want multiple color options. I also break and lose them all the time. I probably have 10 pairs in my car ready to go.
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 !
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?
First pair from age 13 or 14 through to 17. Second pair from 17 until 24. Third pair has seen daily use for over 14 years.
I have replaced the lenses in my third pair once, and have a couple of pairs of spare lenses if the need arises. I already have my next two pairs of sunglasses, bought them maybe eight years ago, just in case.
This doesn't include tinted safety glasses that I wear at work, I usually only get an average of 6-8 months out of those.
I've never lost a single pair. The ones I use currently are over 15 years old. I can only remember owning 4 different pairs but there are probably few more that I had in my childhood but no longer remember.
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
They are wraparound, comfortable, shatter resistant, cost $2 a pair when not on sale, and go on sale for $1 a pair fairly often including I think right now.
I get the no umbrella thing but doing anything in the sun without sunglasses is absolutely miserable and inevitably gives me a headache for the rest of the day.
I have 5 pairs of Oakley square wire sunglasses that I’ve owned for almost 3 decades. Bought most of them with my first paycheck. I just replace the ear socks and nose pieces, and one pair has replacement lenses. I have never owned any other pairs.
Couldn't tell you how many I had as a little kid, but I've probably gone through about 2-3 a year since I was about 16
One time I treated myself to a pair of Oakley's i found an an REI garage sale, thinking maybe more expensive sunglasses would hold up better or I'd keep better track of them.
They got dropped and stepped on within about a week
I had some cheap (awful) mirror sunglasses back when they were all the rage, and a pair of prescription sunglasses before I started getting reactive lenses. I must have had at least one other pair but those are the only two I remember.
2 as a child, both lost to time. 4 as an adult, but they are all prescription so I keep track of them and treat them well. 1 of the 4 is so old and banged up it sits in a drawer as a backup, the rest get used to varying degrees.
Who knows how many in my youth. Since then, I've had the one of the two pair I currently have since 2008ish (first time I got vision benefits, they're memory wire) and the other pair I picked up at a thrift store in 96 or 97. The latter is still my favorite.
I will not answer your question, but instead share a detail. When I finally found sunglasses that look good on me I bought two pair. I plan to buy a third of the same soon, assuming my prescription have changed much. Thanks Shaquille O'Neal.
