If you wear gloves, earpro, or safety glasses while doing /diy/ shit, just make sure they match your purse.

When i wake up in the morning i drop a brick on my head to get the day started then toss myself out the window onto a pile of broken glass then get in my big truck with the seat all the way back and down so i cant see or reach the pedals well then i crash into the job site two hours early for my 14 hour shift and the mud factory and fly through my windshield (because seatbelts are for pussies) into a fifteen foot a frame ladder with a guy standing on the top making him fall and die then i pop open a monster and go on break

I wear safety glasses or sunglasses constantly when outside of in the shop that are wrap around because I need prescription glasses anyways to see decently. I wear leather gloves while fencing (barbed wire) torching, welding, and grinding, or otherwise dealing with scorching hot steel. I'm kinda bad about not using ear protection or respirators...

I've had metal pulled out of my eye before. Fucked my cornea up bad enough that I'll never be able to wear contacts in my life. Be my guest if you want to have that fun, personally I'd rather put some shitty plastic glasses on.

I work in a woodshop that mostly uses hand-held power tools and I gotta say, the sounds some tools make is fucking horrible
>any router bit, ever, sounds like a swarm of mutant mosquitoes
>16.5" beam saw - thing has a 1/8" kerf blade and is more beating the wood into submission than cutting through it
>4" wide belt sander reminds me of non stop high speed road rash
if you don't take the edge off, the characteristics of the sound are enough to drive you crazy, it's not just the shear decibels that are the problem.
there are some tools that just purr and don't hurt to hear, like our handheld bandsaw or chain mortiser which are just as loud but run way smoother

For me it's anything to do with aluminum. AC welding is a godawful noise, and any kind of cutting, drilling, or machining is horrific if you're not absolutely dialed in on tool choice and sharpness, speeds and feeds, lube, etc. I was working next to a student machinist recently who was just fucking sending it with a 1/2" endmill while hogging the inside of a block on a manual mill and the autistic screeching that shit was making was unbearable.

To paraphrase my shop teacher, who could never get the retards to wear those big dorky wraparound safety specs from yesteryear:
>you'll never get your dick sucked wearing those, but you're not getting it sucked in an eye patch, either. At least you only have to wear the goggles in here where there are no girls anyway.

>you'll never get your dick sucked wearing those
kek I'm not even so sure about that, there are a couple of girls at my shop who'd probably be down if I felt like trying and they've just about only ever seen me in dorky safety glasses

where can I get some cool safety glasses? The standard ones make me look like an ugly chud. I tried to get some neat 80s aviator sort of ones but I have a narrow face and they were HUGE on it and looked terrible. They were pyramex pathfinders (picrel).
Where can I get some 70s dad/nerd sort of safety glasses but in a much smaller size?

Youtuber John Malecki has his brand, Shop Shades. They're available in prescription, sunglasses, and transition lenses.
Or you could just go see what they have at Home Depot, Milwaukee and DeWalt both make several models that look similar to military ballistic eyewear.

I had a summer job laying cable for a TV cable company (late 80's). the crew was a mob of stoners and general losers. most of them wore shorts, no shirts, nop hats, and no PPE of any kind.
I took the job to make some money to pay off a used car I bought.
I wore jeans, a long sleeve white t-shirt, a baseball cap with a sewn on neck cover and work gloves. I was mocked, and made fun of continuously. I couldn't give a shit. what's funny is this is now the norm for manual labor, and construction workers now.
we started work at 6 in the morning and finished for the day around 2 or 3pm. we worked in temps that would get over 105 degrees. We worked around cactus, and heavy machinery. it was a miracle no one got hurt in the 3 months I did the job. these guys did stupid shit like riding the cable (standing on it) as it was being pulled through the right of way.
my co-workers were borderline retard manual labor construction types but no mexicans.
I would love to know what happened to the guys I worked with. most likely the ones that didn't die from lung cancer, alcoholism, and/or got maimed probably have skin cancer now. they all had skin that looked like a worn out leather couch.
yeah I think I will keep wearing my PPE.
