Why are you wearing sunglasses at a (insert small stakes limit ) game?

A guy playing 1/2 NL at Foxwoods on Thursday kept looking at his cards for 5 minutes, finally I asked him if he could see his cards through the glasses and that he could take them off if he needed to because I already made the bet. He didn't like it too much, called, and lost.

This whole thread sucks but on a moderately serious note if someone is taking a really long time I just look at the dealer and say "time" and the dealer will tell them they have X long to act. Cardrooms have actual limits for this kind of stuff, dealers work on tips, and winning players want to be dealt as many hands as possible. I could not care less at this point if someone is wearing sunglasses at the table, but I go out of my way to keep a game moving.

I agree that I don't care, but it still cracks me up, especially when they play bad. I try not to, but I just can't stop laughing sometimes.

Better still, just play quietly until you bust them, and then counter with "shhh, I'm counting your chips" when they make some smart-ass comment about how they outplayed you despite the results.

I prefer to say nothing at all. Generally the mockers of people wearing sunglasses are usually bigger tools than the actual sunglass wearers.
