The guy obviously showed his ignorance by not obeying the rules on what is acceptable to wear while dining.

All Cruise Ships have a Dress Code...All

It clearly states that Baseball Caps are " Not Allowed " along with a whole laundry list of restrictions on what is acceptable, and more important Not Acceptable.

Worse though is when Adult Child showed his cowardly behavior by grabbing his wife and hauling her away. A cruise from Hell for her.

Your right there is. I will make a comment on this. There are different rules for Ladies on what is acceptable to wear while dining.

The one that sticks out loud and clear is Baseball Caps are " Unacceptable " for Ladies to wear while dining.

So Ladies you fall into the Men category on this.Leave the Cap in the Garage.

Actually I see very few ladies wearing caps or visors in a restaurant..

11 pages now on what I previously believed, was a universal acceptance on what is appropriate...and a display of simple manners. :oops:


I guess you just never know. :D

Going for 12 pages - that's some hat trick.

Since when was it considered rude or disrespectful to wear red lipstick? Actually red lipstick is considered more formal, for evening. Men's hats are removed out of respect but personally I don't care.

Most men I know wearing black tie go with a more natural look, like chapstick.

lol
... and yet not one person can say WHY it's rude.

Did your mother allow you to wear a ball cap while eating dinner at the table? Would she have ever allowed you to eat dinner in a restaurant or at family friend's dinner table while wearing your dirty, sweat stained ball cap?

As far as why it is rude - just common courtesy! Is picking your nose at the table rude? Is a loud burp in a restaurant rude? Is a loud fart in the elevator rude? Is taking off your shoe and smelling the inside of it in church rude? Is passing the shoe to your wife in church for her to smell rude?

Answer to all the above is YES. Common courtesy is WHY. How did your mother raise you?

That's a trick question. Is there anyone else in the elevator?

lol....:

:thumbup:


If you actually have to explain that being 'rude' is primarily ignoring (or maybe not knowing) what has been accepted as societal norms of decency and courtesy...then you're probably wasting your typing. :ohdear:

Bob!!!

Wow so many of you need to get over yourselves. Why worry about what others wear. Something really objectionable is the stench some spray on themselves. Obvivious to the fact some are scent sensitive.

To be honest, I am distracted by people on cell phones, loud talkers, and unruly children and never give much thought to people in caps or hats. I suppose I would take notice if someone was wearing a a loin cloth and a tinfoil helmet, but I just don't even notice the folks in ball caps.
