I'm 52, which makes me a post-boomer(?) Whatever. Not terribly important to me. As for my father, he was born in 1938. in Manchuria. Look up what was going in on in Korea around that tine, shitstick.

As for my grandfather (my father's father), he disappeared when my father was about 10; arrested by the Chicom 'police' for "subversive" acts (he was a Baptist minister).

And yet, somehow my father managed to teach me proper manners.

What's your paltry, lazy-ass excuse? Oh right; you're 'progressive.'

'nuff said, I suppose. Just another word for "I'm a lazy ass bitch."

We are pre-boomers, Megatron. You more pre than me. I'm on the cusp.

Pre-boomer. Whatever. I know how to behave. Guess that's a sin these days.

Get a grip, dork. You think shorts are disrespectful.
You're just an uptight nerd.
[Reply]

Oooooh, I'm an "uptight nerd." How awful. Whatever will I do?

Oh right, I'll just keep on keeping on. At Least I know how to behave properly.

You're just an ill-mannered cunt. Enjoy that.

That doesn't seem like very good manners.

Who the fuck made these rules, and why should I give a shit? If I am wearing a hat, I am going to fucking wear it. I'm not going to wear a hat to a wedding or anything, but I might just wear one to the local steakhouse. If I have to dress up for something, I'm not wearing a fucking hat. But I can eat just fine while I'm wearing one.

I don't think it applies to cowboy hats either.

Manners and etiquette?

You're kidding, right?

I'm oft surprised how people don't wear the proper attire for the situation, such as a job interview, funeral or appearing in court.

I'd bet a lot don't wash their hands before a meal.

Doesn't 'seem'?

You have no idea what are good manners and what aren't. Maybe you should just shut up about that which you know nothing about.

Oh, right; then you'd have absolutely nothing to say.

Can't have that, I suppose.

If you were peeing next to me I'd take a look over

Just to be clear, you think shorts are disrespectful.
[Reply]

Actually, I never said anything specifically about shorts. But again, you're incapable of basic discernment, so your misapprehension is predictable. maybe you should take a basic "intro to understanding the English language" class, instead of yet another "let me parrot whatever my fellow Dims want me to say" indoctrination course? you know, just so you might actually begin to understand what I'm writing?

Oh, right; you can't be bothered to make the effort to take a 2 oz. piece of cloth off your head. Actually using your brain might strain something. nevermind.

It I'm going somewhere nice I will prepare my hair and not wear a hat, but showing my hat hair is much worse than wearing the hat.

I find most hats to be uncomfortable, and only wear them for specific purposes, when the disadvantage of not wearing a hat significantly outweighs the discomfort.

1. It is cold as hell and I need to keep my head warm. Usually I will wear a hood attached to my coat for this purpose.
2. Protection from the sun. I have a wide brim Tilley for this purpose.
3. Protection from rain when an umbrella isn't appropriate. I have a wide brim Tilley for this purpose.
4. Going to the grocery store on a weekend when I don't shower and want to hide my bed hair. A baseball cap works here, but so does the Tilley. The Tilley is more comfortable and more stylish to boot.
5. As a faculty member, I attend commencement twice a year and wear a cap as part of the regalia.

I never would even think of wearing a hat in my own home or when going to a restaurant.
