I typically don’t wear hats indoors.

A few etiquette tips:

Men's Hat Etiquette
Hats can be left on…
Outdoors
At athletic events (indoors or out)
On public transportation
In public buildings such as post offices, airports, and hotel or office lobbies
On elevators


Take hats off, including baseball caps …
In someone's home
At mealtimes, at the table
While being introduced, indoors or out (unless it's frigid!)
In a house of worship, unless a hat or head covering is required
Indoors at work, especially in an office (unless required for the job)
In public buildings such as a school, library, courthouse, or town hall
In restaurants and coffee shops
At a movie or any indoor performance
When the national anthem is played
When the flag of the United States passes by, as in a parade

Ouch.

Yeah, excepting snow gear during the winter, I haven’t worn a hat in a decade. I think it’s weird seeing 40+ year old dudes with backwards baseball caps on. To each their own though.

No, but I likely wouldn't wear a hat to a "nice or better restaurant."

I’ll put my elbows on the table too because fuck society.

My wife loves Chinese buffets I am not much for them. I like a hat with a nice bill to pull down. It blocks out the freak show taking place around me.
[Reply]

Oh fuck yes another way to block out the freak show. Elbows on table hat pulled down face over plate block out the freaks.

I weren’t raised in no barn.

I actually formally learned table etiquette as a Delta Chi at NWMSU. We had a lady come and teach us. It was encouraged and corrected at mealtime for those who lived in the house.

If I'm eating a casual dinner at home (or in casual restaurant) with family, who gives a **** if someone is wearing a baseball cap? If everyone is dressing up for some reason, that's different.

Common sense and comfort have come a long ways since when the boomers were growing up, thankfully.

You see pictures of men wearing hat and suits to baseball games, even in the 1960s. Why? Had to be uncomfortable as hell, especially in the summer. For what purpose? To look nice? For who? It's stupid.

It was the 60's, man. Madmen.

Men don't wear hats at the dinner table, period. Little immature bitches, maybe, but men, no.

Of course, nowadays this world is rife with little cunts masquerading as men. But that's not my problem.
[Reply]

I don't wear hats and I also don't pay attention to what other men are wearing. Ever.
[Reply]

This man does but when and where I take it off is the difference. Casual dining is just that.
[Reply]

No, unless the host specifically asks. I have stupid hair and I look much better in a hat.
