You know what really grinds my gears...

Postby robbiestoupe » Mon Jun 06, 2022 2:46 pm

I wear Oakley Holobrooks out and about. Buy used frames off eBay for like $50, and get Revant Optics lenses for $25/pair.

Thanks to a happy birthday wish here, I picked up a pair of Tifosis that broadly look like Holobrooks but they're reserved for pool shenanigans. (They were only $25 frames and all)

Zanes are the glasses I have, fwiw. I got the polycarb because they were lighter, and cheaper, naturally. :lol:

I was ready to pull the trigger on them, but figured I might as well go with glass for the first time in forever (ever?).

I bought a pair of Costa Del Mar Zane's. Hope they live up to the hype. Otherwise, DG and meow are getting a visit.
I will beat your ass and steal your zanes

If you are used to wearing plastic lenses, the glass lenses might take a minute to get used to

Got a $20 off code for Dick's, so I bought the plastic lenses model, too. I'll see which I like more and return the other one.

This probably goes in another thread, but since we're on the topic, what are some quality sunglasses brands these days?
I bought a pair of Randolph Engineering Aviator lenses, have had more than a few people recognize them which is nice. I like going to between them and American Optics - both US companies.

Keep in mind the glasses are heavy, real glass and military grade build. I had a friend who tried them on and immediately thought too heavy.

I pretty only wear sunglasses when I'm driving, and when I do I use a set of these bad boys inside my glasses:

You guys are all weird. Get a pair of Ray-Bans and move on with your life.

Luxottica sucks.

I feel like its NSFW if you go to that website.

How are some companies so bad at online inventory? I bought a pair of sunglasses at Dick's Sporting Goods online, as they said they had them in stock, then received an e-mail stating that they were completely out of stock. Still shows as in stock online.

I guess it's a blessing in disguise, because I just found the same pair for $60 cheaper through WalMart's online marketplace.

Too efficient government :lol:

I went to USPS.com and filled out the change of address online form, I even picked the date of our move later this month. I got the confirmation with that date on it (and they charge you $1.10 for it).

When did they start forwarding mail? The very day I signed up for it. What's the point of a start date if it's completely disregarded?

Now our mail is going to a black hole because the address is new and isn't deliverable yet.

That happened to me when I moved last year and now I get an email with what's coming soon (doesn't include junk mail).
