[Closed] Wearing Hats indoors - is it poor etiquette?

indoors = hats off UNLESS its as cold inside as out.

and im only 25.

hats are to keep your head warm

Yes. Take the bloody things off when you get inside.

Is it a Hoxton Bonnet? If so, then you have to keep it on to accessorise with your sisters jeans and manicured, Mumford and Sons style facial hair

Wooly hat on,inside whilst I type. But the workshop is freezing (though I've still got shorts on!).

Hats indoors, madness, they’ll be wearing sunglasses next!

different rules for women at weddings - especially when they've had to get their hairdresser to surgically attach the hat to their head.

[i]Wearing Hats indoors[/i]

One is bad, more than that and people will just take pity on you.

What're the general opinions?

Some people (usually the ones doing it) think it looks cool.

People with sense just think you look a right nooob

Definitely hats off indoors (and in cars, too, if you ask me).

I don't wear hats often but, during a trip to the Christmas Markets in Germany, a couple of years ago, the frigid conditions more or less dictated the use of a nice, cosy Thinsulate wooly hat.

Mrs beluga decide that she wanted to visit Cologne Cathedral, so in we went. I'd completely forgotten about the hat and, within about twenty feet, was approached by an usher, who gestured for me to take the hat off. I obliged, and carried on through to the main part of the Cathedral, where I was confronted by lots of 'Ladies of a certain age' - most of whom [u]were wearing hats![/u]

That'll teach me to be a member of the least defended minority - a white, middle aged, straight, agnostic man 😉

Bob, ladies retain their hats in church. Gentlemen do not.

Gentlemen certainly do not wear a hat indoors, but to wear one at table? That's a hanging offence.

If you're someplace where you'd also take your coat off e.g. restaurant, someone's house, etc then hat off. If you're someplace where you might also keep your coat on e.g. a bar or a shop then it is perfectly acceptable to leave your hat on.

Glad it's not just me then - my comments were aimed at blokes who wear hats - it is a different rule for women!

The youf of today have so much to learn!

mostly associated with getting a pair of jeans that's the right size to fit precisely around their waists so we don't have to see half of their pants hanging over the top.

Bad etiquette? Or bad hair day?

(and in cars, too, if you ask me).

Ill take you for a drive round in the land rover in winter and see if your still saying that .... gloves , jacket and hat all required !

I couldn't give a stuff if someone wants to wear a hat indoors, it's really none of my business.

The only time I've been asked to remove my hat was in a rugby club bar, we'd just come in from the cold and some busy-body coffin dodger who was just there for a drink asked my mate (who was a member) to ask me to take my hat off. Knowing what goes on in rugby club bars it seemed an odd place for someone to worry about 'etiquette'.

I'd also be worried that if [i]I[/i] asked someone to take their hat off it would turn out that they were undergoing chemotherapy or something.

Is a hat all the wearer is wearing indoors?

hats off. it's usually hipster cretins with their little woolen hats they insist remain on their heads. the whispy moustache that usually accompanies aforementioned hat should also be removed along with the thick framed specs that don't have any correction.
not woolen hats but you get the idea:

Bring back the hatstand.

Hats off in Canterbury Cathedral. Especially if it's mid winter, as cold inside as outside and you're a 3 year old. At least that's what someone took the trouble to come and explain to me as I walked said 3 year old through the beautiful building.

Just 'no' to hats in general imo

Spent a few hours last week in airports judging strangers (as you do). There was quite a lot of hat-based prejudice I can tell you 🙂

Those lads in that piccy MrSmith posted look way cool man, IMO.

Can't see owt wrong with that at all.

I've a theory that everyone who wears headgear whilst driving is invariably about to do something mental.

We had the youngest daughters new boyfriend round the other week, he kept one of his ear phones in the whole time he was here, weird

My hat stays on all the time. GIRFUY.

Absolutely! Hats of any description in cars seem to magically remove the ability to drive from the wearer

Probably it's more that you're dull 🙂

Are Wee Willie Winkie bed caps OK?

Rule 6, innit:

I wear a cap all the time, Im sure enough of who I am to not worry if anyone else is worrying about my indoor hat wearing.
I also have a trilby and have my eyes peeled for a jolly spiffing bowler.

It's spelt 'wired.'

Plenty of Jewish blokes wear a hat all the time indoors - perhaps not in their own home, in company of their family? Not sure on that one.

Worked for a company who had very strong Jewish links - and I wondered why most clients (even suited up for business meetings!) wore baseball caps inside.... did look rather odd to me.

Was it the big man himself who pointed it out?

Wearing Hats indoors - is it poor etiquette?

Have we time slipped to the 1950s?

As Pete Docherty wrote

[i]There are fewer more distressing sights than that
Of an Englishman in a baseball cap[/i]

And he's partial to a trilby. And smack. Though I don't know if the two are directly linked

Unless you are under 5 years old, Wearing a baseball cap anywhere is at the very least "poor etiquette"

It's certainly a good indicator of people to avoid anyway.

interesting outlook.

Hence the question - I wasn't born in the 50's, but I do think that wearing a baseball cap to a mealtable is poor manners/etiquette. The general consensus on here seems to agree.
There are such things as "standards" and it appears to many that they are slipping.....

Forgetting about hats, I've been told on more than one occasion that one must wear something under chaps if going out in public. Funny old world.

Hence the question - I wasn't born in the 50's, but I do think that wearing a baseball cap to a mealtable is poor manners/etiquette

it certainly is. as is not taking it off at a church christening like my cousin did, he didn't like my comment about whether he enjoyed Los Angeles and how were the lakers doing this season?
i mean why else would you wear a cap with the initials of that city/team emblazoned on it?

I nearly got a job at TGI Friday's until I realised I'd have to suffer the indignity of wearing an indoor hat.

Doesn't bother me, not that I wear hats as I find them uncomfortable and hot. Not sure why people seem to be getting so worked up about it either 😆

I wear a hat whenever the chuff I want, but then I couldn't give a monkeys knacker what others think. If I did that I'd be like you drones. 😀

I was raised in the fifties and wearing a hat indoors was a sign of poor manners and frowned upon

One of my uncles always raised his hat to my mum. Don't think I ever saw him without a tie either.

rastafarians don't often take theirs off-- suppose theyr'e just rudies

as for all the other bollox, what can it possibly 'offend' unless it is some giant cock shaped tifter dripping with slime

I'm all in favour of people wearing hats while driving as it enables me to be extra careful round them (drafty Landrovers obviously excluded).

Army do. RN don't unless duty or having a carpet parade. Can't remember what the [s]crabs[/s] RAF do.

Andy

Duty or Hats on bollocking.

interesting outlook.

Thanks.

100thidiot - cheers for that.

Hats on bollocking.

"Interview without coffee" is such a fine euphemism, isn't it?

I always take mine off, except in shops. It's just good manners, like not putting your feet up on other people's furniture.
Quite apart from anyone wearing a hat indoors, unless its a workspace that's cold, or exposed, is that the wearer looks a complete tit.

you got a top hat ? fit a fair bit of gear in them

+1 for the hat wearers in cars being awful drivers. It seems to be so universal too, from old men in their trilbies to young lads in their baseball caps.

After that though, I'm not that bothered if people want to wear a hat indoors. It makes them look silly but that's just my opinion.

got hats for all occasions -- they are a bit of fun-- i think that bothers some people .......

Tony Soprano persuading a baseball hat-wearing buffoon to remove it,was one of my favourite moments in The Sopranos
No prroblem with young 'uns wearing hats indoors, in cars ,or wherever,but when you reach a certain age,you just look a tit.

hats indoors is about as appropriate as anyone over the age of 32 wearing skate shoes 😈

see, the older generation may judge the young for having their own style, but the young will judge the older generation for trying to cling onto their youth as they get old.

did your parents like what you wore when you were young?

i say this as someone who doesnt wear a hat indoors, mainly cos i dont really wear hats...
but it does strike me as odd that the chances are as a younger person you probably went against convention and wore clothes or had hairstyles that the older people didnt approve of, yet as you've grown older you've forgotten that.

for the record anything over 32 is old man 😛

now not holding the door open for others, pushing in a queue, shouting obscenities at children passing by... that's poor etiquette

,but when you reach a certain age,you just look a tit.

jamaicans of all ages wear hats, they invariably look cool, because they not take themselves too seriously, uptight whitey on the other hand has unwritten rules for all sorts of crap.... this being a great example..

and yeah all them old fellas in their hats look like tits don't they !!!

Good manner never change even if fashions do.

for the record anything over 32 is old man

strikes phil from the Christmas card list and pays an old (non santa) man to break into his house and empty his sack over him when he sleeps!

Does anyone know why hats indoors or worn at the dinner table is considered poor manners?

Count Zero seems to know all ^^^^

i think that bothers some people ..

some people it seems, and that would seem to include a vocal majority on here, seem to go out of their way to find stuff to be bothered about seemingly.. and that bothers me..

wear what you want.. wear a hat, wear your birthday suit, wear the tanned hide of your dearly departed sweet ol' granny if you think it suits you..

as long as you have something interesting or amusing to say..

It's ****ing moaning about every other **** around you that's bad ****ing etiquette.. and where I'm from that's an offence worthy of corporal punishment..

now that's proper ****ing standards

I once rode down to that there london on a yamaha 80-- open face helmet and wore a plastic dogs nose-- got two reactions-- people who laughed and them others who got really offended-- was five hours of fun for me..

interesting and amusing.. you my friend can have a biscuit 😀

are you wearing nothing but a necklace of human skulls and pants fashioned from the penis of a whale..?

(if so, have another biscuit)

a hat, being worn indoors.. crazy

[img] [/img]

no, but i am wearing a hat,

the curtain twitchers have gone quite, cocoa all drunk, jimjams on, a good nights rest , moaning is hard work .

quite energy sapping I imagine

[img] [/img]

the moaners probably wear a hat to bed, thats the problem with being old, memory starts to go....

no where did i put my glasses?

sorry tazzy, 32 isn't old really... you know it was just used to illustrate a point 😀

33 however... break out the zimmer frames

I'm starting to wonder about this..

if you're finding it hard to deal with what others are wearing on their head, then possibly you're not actually a suitable candidate to fill your role in society.. I mean, perhaps Human Being was a little ambitious..

Why not go back and see if you can get the hang of an easier one, like Seagull or toilet roll holder..

f you're finding it hard to deal with what others are wearing on their head, then possibly you're not actually a suitable candidate to fill your role in society..

would be a good question at interviews-- well for any job that requires human interaction..
