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.

Same. Just I say I'm "Sicilian" and some people want to go all "he thinks he's Michael Corleone" on me and stuff.
If you made it as far as the kitchen with your hat on in my Grandmother's house you did good but just know that's as far as you were ever going to make it. [Reply]

I was like WTF??? It's a ****ing basketball game!?!?!?!?!
We dressed up to go to dinner, family gatherings, etc.
Tennis shoes were for playing or gym class.
Our everyday shoes were suede or leather from Kinney's. GASS spelled out on the bottom of the "soles".
We dressed up for family parties and dinners. But to go to a basketball or baseball game. Well let's just say this, my Dad took me to a lot of games before he re-married and to those it was jeans or shorts and tennis shoes. [Reply]
