To think that spectacles without lenses are utterly ridiculous. Or am I just too old and fuddy duddy to recognize a bit of fun?

We live opposite a university (which in Malaysia is not the same as the UK). In our flats there are a number of students.
This morning, four got in wearing those glasses that are just the frames, no lenses at all.
AIBU to think they look stupid?

I think it is on a par with wearing Hunter wellies with shorts to Bluewater on a hot day in July.

But not as bad as wearing a onesie out of the house or in fact inside the you if you're >10

I live in China and they are really popular here with 15-25 year old females. A friend gave me a pair for Christmas - I look stupid - but possibly younger and stupid ;)

Grin I remember giggling at the plastic goths that used to roll into the local rock night, wearing brand new shiny leather jackets.

I quite like being a fuddy duddy too. I am now 46 and reserve the right to be a fuddy duddy if I so chose.

My goddaughter turned up in a pair of glasses without lenses at the weekend and I didn't even pretend to understand.

I like tutting to myself at stupidly short skirts in winter and muttering 'she'll get kidney trouble if she's not careful' to myself.

I like sounding like my lovely mum actually.
