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.

Someone took the time and effort to put together a meal for you, dipstick. Taking your hat off is a sign of respect for those that provided a meal for you. t's also a sign of respect for those that you're having a meal with.
JC, I can't believe that anyone would have to explain such a simple concept.
Wouldn't it be respectful to keep the hat on so your hair stays out of the food? [Reply]

Yep, I take my hat off whenever I'm inside and sitting down to a meal. i know; it's incredibly difficult to do so. I think i've sprained my wrist hundreds of times attempting to take off my 2 oz. hat. Good God, it's just so damned hard to lift a bit of cloth off my head. What was i thinking? [Reply]

Not necessarily true. Could be eating take out from KFC.
I'm not a millennial, but I just don't connect hat-wearing with disrespect.
Maybe you're just a delicate (and perhaps unbalanced) snowflake who for some reason feels disrespected if someone is wearing a hat.
Is it really worse to be sitting at a table with a hat vs sitting at a table with disheveled hair? [Reply]

Maybe you should do a search and figure out why decent people take their hats off at the dinner table. I know; it's really hard, but I think you can do it. [Reply]
I think I don't eat at the same 5-star restaurants. My guys come out of the field wet with sweat we go to a cafe wash our hands and face sit down and order. We don't take off our hats to reveal our sweat heads as a common courtesy to the other patrons. [Reply]

I mean I could or I could keep replying so that you have an unlimited opportunity to be a condescending cunt. [Reply]

Blahblahblah.
And let's not get confused; you're far more of a snowflake than I. Plus, someone (your mother) bought you that chicken dinner, so you could show respect for that.
it's a cinch that you didn't pay for the meal, right?
you'd have to have a decent job (haha), and then you'd have to have the inclination to actually pay for anyone else's food (rofl), neither of which is ever going to happen, right?
i just happen to know a lot more about respect and proper manners than you. Comes from being raised by actual parents. [Reply]

Difficulty really isn't the issue.
Depending how old you are, there's a good chance your dad or grandpa never wore a t-shirt or a pair of shorts at the dinner table--or maybe anywhere, ever. Do you ever do that, you disrespectful slob? [Reply]

haha, never in my adult life. I was raised better than that. [Reply]

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Square olde tyme boomer (or maybe pre-boomer?) who has never worn shorts or a t-shirt at a table also thinks hats are disrespectful. If not an olde tymer, just an uptight dork. [Reply]
