OMG! If somebody did that to me I might have to accidentally spill my ice water on their lap. I would definitely close the shade if somebody asked nicely, and keep it closed, but, if somebody reached over me and rudely closed it -- that 's a declaration of war! Nah...not really, but I'd be thinking evil thoughts for sure!

If a person is really truly suffering from a rare eye disease, wouldn't they carry some form of night shades? The little eye masks cost about $2 and completely black out the light.

What's a txrd?
