Poll: Hats : Wearing Indoors. Rude?

[PayneTrayne]

If you want me to take off my hat while I'm in a classroom, then fuck you.

If you want to wear a hat around the dead, then fuck you too.

Really, depends on the situation, but I'ma wear my head igloo wherever I want for the most part.

personally, eating with a hat is not only rude, but stupid, because people eating with you cant see your face clearly and well, eating with friends is an "intimate" process, wich when obscured by a hat seems kind of "i dont care if you are my friend, i would rather have my hat on" and as such he is taking value out of your friendship

on the street, the mall, or other open areas i find it ok, church not so much as a "rule" but as sign of "respect" for the people inside (once again, the "face obscured" in a place where there should be no need of such comes into place)

and... why do people wear it on their cars!?... i cant do that, its kind of... weird... (IMO)

I wear a black patrol cap when I'm outside, but I always remember to take it off when I step indoors. There's no need to wear a hat inside, so I don't. Of course, I didn't wear hats at all until high school because of JROTC, so I follow the military's ideology on hats. So, if you see me indoors and I have my hat on, you bet your ass I'm armed.

I only wear hats when I need a haircut or when its cold outside. And while it can be rude in certain establishments, I'd rather offend with a hat than with a head of overgrown hair.

Answer: To question posed: No. OP you need to work on your thread titles.

I've always been a fan of wearing the Yahtzee styled 1930's hat. Damn they're awesome.

I fail to see how It's rude wearing it inside, but general consensus seems to tell me that it is annoyingly, so I take it off inside.

 

[TheLoneSeeker]

Once I have a hat on, it is usually on for the day, whether I'm inside or not. Mostly because the resulting hat-hair if I take it off is far more offensive Don't want to be stuck somewhere nice, looking like I just got out of bed.

I despise rudeness. And I can't stand contractions.

Kids these days. They have no respect.

Isn't 'can't' a contraction? Just sayin', I mean no offence *tips hat*

OT: I believe the unwritten rules were; hats were allowed to be worn indoors, like shops and restaurants but must be taken off when engaging another in conversation (anything beyond, say, talking to the shop assistant, or ordering your drinks would class as a reason to de-hat)

By the by, my personal preference is trilbys in summer, fedoras and overcoats in winter (hell yes, rocking the 1940's P.I. look ), with the occasional bowler ("derby" to those across the pond) for fancier occasions. Or when I feel like it

Most of the time its not a big deal.

That was kinda the point. I even went so far as to throw it in, seemingly out of nowhere.

Depends on the context, with your buddies on a cold day, its fine. In a restaurant or something, not usually.

"Yes, and I wear a hat. (Male)"
Plus it'll make you go bald.

Taking off your hat indoors is as an old tradition that's not really practiced by today's generation; much like the tradition of placing one's hand over your heart (or standing at attention, for those of us veterans) when the National Anthem is played.

Before, the People were more akin to exclaim, "America, Fuck Yeah!"

Nowadays, it's more like, "Yeah! Fuck America!"

If you don't like living in America, then participate in the voting process and become an active agent of change. Please do not leave for Canada. Evil Wins When Good People Do Nothing.

 

[Tsaba]

Yes, but, depends where you are.

 

[DiMono]

Maybe not at all times, because sometimes you just don't have anywhere to put it, but it's definitely rude to wear a hat while you're eating. What's weird is that I don't actually know why.

 

[Flunk]

Hats are for outside. I do wear hats, but not all the time. Only when the mood strikes me, and all winter long. That being said I consider anywhere you might be wearing a jacket to be perfectly good to wear a hat, such as a mall.

If you're wearing a hat inside someone's house, you're an inconsiderate ass no matter what. Of course I also make people take off their shoes when they enter my house.

P.S. I take exception to the "hand over heart during the national anthem" comment above. That's a purely American gesture. We prefer to sing our national anthem up here.

I don't think it should be impolite to wear a hat indoors, but regardless of if it is or isn't, there are only three situations where I will willingly take my hat off:

1) When in class
2) When eating
3) When in a church

That just means everyone thinks you're a jerk. If that's what you want then you're good to go.

Ah, in that case, my apologies, sir

Its late/early, head is'nae working properly

I'm a girl & I sometimes wear baseball caps. (on occasion though). I find it rude in certain places for men to wear hats, such as church, because that is disrespectful. But women are allowed to wear them in church and at funerals. I went to a school where our dress code was the most lenient one in the entire county and we weren't allowed a hat unless we were wearing hoodies. Even the girls weren't allowed to wear hats. They took them up. But if you find it rude, just politely ask the person to take it off & if they decline, that's their priority.

What? Women should be allowed to wear whatever hats they want? Why are the rules different for men?

(Hear that? It's the sound of a thread flying off of its rails.)

I don't understand the social convention of not wearing hats indoors, but I don't like wearing hats myself.
