Also tinted windows on cars, and windshields which are themselves polarized. I had to get rid of my polarized prescription sunglasses because every time I drove I was surrounded by rainbows all the time like I was high on LSD, then I'd cock my head 45 degrees to the side and suddenly everything in front of me would get much lighter and blind me, then I'd get out to pump gas and couldn't read the damn display at the pump and had to take my glasses off, except then I couldn't see so I had to lean in and squint... I'm much happier just living with a little glare.

I'm guessing the lenses were linearly polarized. I wear only sunglasses with circular polarization with which that doesn't happen. The illumination level through the lenses remains constant with changing viewing angle. They're also photochromic (lighten and darken automatically).
