Gentlemen don't wear hats indoors (religions excluded).

I agree with RcMoser about the bad rugs.I'd much rather see a guy wear a hat than these bird's nests guys wear on their heads.Whenever I see a guy with a bad toupee I say "nice hair,too bad it's not his."

I think it is fine to wear a hat/cap to restaurants. We do live in a Golfing community. We all the other activities also. I had rather see them on heads than see hair sticky up!

As long as the hat is clean and doesn't obstruct my view, it doesn't bother me at all. Standards change all the time, and I think this one is changing. Now, the underwear display, or the bottom crack display bothers me A LOT. That standard should never change. How I miss a well-fitting belt.

It's always been a pet peeve of mine seeing grown men wearing hats while dining in restaurants. It seems that we've adopted the non manners of the younger generation.

When I was a kid we were taught to take our hat off when entering a building. Where did that go?

I suppose it's just part of the decline of civilization.

This post demonstrates the real problem. It's the slow erosion of our niceties. Your opinion is that the display of underwear and the bottom crack standard should never change. Some people feel that it is cool. It's entirely possible that the standard will change some day and the showing of butt cracks will be common place. What's next after that?

You are quite right Doctor. I should have clarified that my own personal standards should, in a perfect world, set the national standards. If only I were running everything, all would be well. For me anyway.

And having said all this, let me also say how much I do so appreciate when I see a gentlemen remove his hat out of deference to others for any reason.

I love this discussion of nice people discussing nice things. BUT, I want to go on record that one day you will see my mug shot for going up to one of those teens with his danged pants at half mast and pulling them all of the rest of the way down. Then I am going to run like crazy.


Well, walk real fast.

I believe you!

Problem is, half-masters would like having their pants pulled down. Now if you pulled them UP, my dear mischievous Gracie, you would truly offend the miscreant.

Take your time. If he comes after you, he'll trip.

All this meaningless about hats in restaurants
Isn't there bigger fish to fry

[jhrc4]

Look it is common courtesy and pretty much SOP for men not to wear a hat while dining out . A bar/saloon sure why not. I have noticed men in a Restaurant with there well dressed lady wearing a Baseball Hat usually with layers of filthy sweat marks, also sometimes with the hat on backwards.

Something I never quite understood with the hat on backwards, I guess it goes with head on backwards. Toss the hat in the washing machine once in awhile with 4-5 cups of Tide, and heck add some disinfectant along with it.

Pretty gross, those who support this sort of dress manner are obviously not clued in on proper etiquette. Take off the hat, open the door for the lady, and while your at pull our the chair for her as well.

I'm sorry but if you remove the hat from your head it is still in the restaurant with you. I find it extremely rude for people to insist that someone else remove their hat, if they just came from playing what about their stinky shirt, shoe and shorts, hmmm?
