I wanted to buy a new pair of sunglasses this week but I couldn’t because the styles I liked were too small for my head.
These styles of sunglasses were actually large, just not as large as my head, but I didn’t know that until I tried them on.
“How did these suddenly become spectacles?” I thought when I looked into the thin mirror on the side of the store’s sunglasses carousel. “Why do I look like Geppetto?”
I was looking for new sunglasses because it turns out that I don’t like the sunglasses I bought last year. I thought I liked them when I was buying them, but apparently I couldn’t make an accurate decision with that plastic security clip stores always attach between to the middle of sunglasses.
I don’t blame stores for not wanting people to steal their merchandise, but it seems technology has advanced to the point where manufactures could imbed the security device inside the sunglasses.
Or, so no one could ever wear them, the store could put the sunglasses in that thick shrink-wrapped plastic all electronic music players come in.
