I grew up in a small town in south Texas and the men were still told to take their hats off at the table. It wasn't "uppity", it was just good manners to remove them. My husband was raised in a small western Pennsylvania steel mill town and they had the same rules......no hats at the table whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am amazed at how many men wear their hats indoors and in restaurants, as if they are not removable.

It is an etiquette rule, not a law. One of those things that makes it pleasant to be around people.

SQUAWK OF THE VILLAGES
(Home of TV Fake News)

TOP HAT STORY! Controversy over the wearing of hats in restaurants have finally come to a head. Women during Easter are calling fowl, where Men after golfing are saying it's par for the course. Hefty attire wearers are often seen carrying a spare one. Some say there should be a cap on it. Advocates say hat hair responsible. Men Without Hats Club president Helmut Chapeau at their spring hard hat safety dance pithily replied saying the Villages needs a serious hat check. His Panama wife is fez up to the brim, where his son Ushanka, an avid bowler, hasn't heard anything about it. Stay tuned as we cover the roots of this hair razing issue.

"Baby take off your dress

Yes yes yes

You can leave your hat on"

Joe Cocker



Now I understand why I should place it on my lap.


Last sentence, very funny.

Military veterans will remember that one doesn't wear headgear indoors unless he or she is under arms. So if you're carrying in a restaurant, you should keep your hat on.

What about fat guys wearing sleeveless shirts and sitting at the bar--really gross

I personally find it distasteful. I was taught from the time I was a little kid that hats are to be removed inside public buildings. This whole hat wearing thing these days puzzles me anyway. IMHO, we have lost to many of the little niceties in society.

How can a thread this stupid get to 8 pages long? BTW, Graciegirl has started a competing thread about women wearing hats in resturants.

Thinks this is stupid? Wait till we get to the why am I forced to look at your ugly vulgar tattoos in an establishment that doesn't sell hot dogs or have bleachers. I was raised to not deform my body out of respect just like removing your hat.
