Believe me, I never saw him wearing a hat in classroom again.

Huh?

I would rather see hats on heads (even turned sideways or backwards than these jeans kids were 3 sizes too big showing butt crack or underwear. But As fads change or traditions we have to adjust with them. You know obnoxious perfume leather on so thick it chokes you stink about as bad as old sweetie hats. Just saying we all don't like some things other people do. As for the scotty snatching somebodies hat off could be knock out time, but Bullies pick the right pigeon usually.

I have no idea what an "old sweetie hat" is. Here in The Villages, I see guys with their golf caps on at restaurants while dining in about every establishment. I have not seen one "kid" in The Villages wearing baggy jeans.

I will stick with my original assessment of "uncouth louts".

I respectfully apologize for not understanding your post. Would you please translate it for me? Thanks so much.

Good guess. I think you're right.

Nobody has given a reason why a hat should be removed when you are in a restaurant. If someone is more comfortable with their hat on, then they should be allowed to eat in comfort, their hat does not affect anyone's meal.

No one has given a reason to wear a shirt in a restaurant, either. Why not sit at the table without a shirt in the comfort you want?

No rules in restaurants about using silverware to eat but I certainly would not want to see someone eating their steak and mashed potatoes with their hands - especially if they did not have a shirt on!

I think common courtesy is the answer. Anything else is nothing more than an uncouth lout.

It's better a chef wears hats than your having to say to the waiter... "Waiter! What's that hair in my soup?!"

p.s. The waiter just might answer back..."Well, it certainly ain't doing the backstroke like a fly would if I happened to give you one of the bowls that have a fly in it!"

So having a piece of apparel on is equivalent to not wearing clothing. Wearing a hat makes someone an uncouth lout, then why do restaurants have signs that say no shirt, no shoes, no service, but do not say no service to those wearing hats?

I agree, good time to MYOB. I was in the military too but this is not the military. Though I do not wear a hat in a restaurant I don't see that it is any of mine or anyone's business..if someone for whatever reason chooses to do so unless there is a dress code. It's much better than sitting 4 tables away from a group talking so loud trying to talk over each other you can hear every word they say while acting like 3 year old children.

Could be they were, but then some were women, I will definitely check next time.
Manners, culture, whatever, still not anyone's place to tell anyone they cannot wear a hat nor to label them if they do. As long as they are not bothering anyone
leav'em alone I would still say.
