It never ceases to amaze me when I go to a fairly nice or better restaurant to see guys wearing their hats at the table. I am not talking about some dude at lunch at McDonald's. I'm talking about a nice steak house or likewise having dinner with the family.
When I was growing up I was taught to take my hat off in the house but if I ever sat at the table with it on it would have been removed for me.
And if I tried to walk into my Grandmother's house, especially the kitchen, the hat was removed for me without me being asked to take it off.

Knights also removed their helmets as a sign of vulnerability and trust in churches and in the presence of women and royalty.
The rule also has roots in Christianity, as it’s considered customary for men to remove their hats upon entering a church.
But perhaps the strictest rules of Western hat etiquette exist in the U.S. Flag Code, which advises men to take off their hats during the national anthem—no matter where it’s being played. While the flag code is certainly not a law (it’s just an advisory), its inclusion of hat etiquette cements the idea that wearing a hat in the wrong situation is the epitome of rudeness.
So I can't wear a hat in my own home eating a casual dinner because of Medieval European knights?

yeah, ok
Wearing a hat around the house seems as weird to me as taking it off for dinner just because of some made up rule of respect.
I guess if you're going to be weird and wear a hat around the house, you should just keep that level of weirdness going and not up the weirdness to taking it off for no apparent reason besides eating a meal. [Reply]

I actually did. Nothing hit.
EDIT: Nothing hits under "ratchet ass." But this is the urban dictionary definition of "ratchet ass female."

I had a shady wipe earlier this morning that I'm positive has left a burnout in my RedHead trousers I got from Bass Pro on a gift card found in my stocking last Christmas but at least I took my hat off before sitting down for supper [Reply]
