Hats

[TennesseeTuxedo]

So, who is it that made these rules? And what business is it of theirs?

Just old school rules of etiquette. Some are still around, like hand shakes, most are not.
Its kinda shame that the hat thing has become bygone.

In polite society it hasn't.

Thought maybe there was a cowboy hat exception but then I remembered this one

"Momma always told me never to wear a hat indoors. When it can't rain on you, you're indoors."
Bum Phillips in reference to removing his hat in domed stadiums.

Hats are never to be worn indoors and especially not at the dinner/supper/lunch/breakfast table.

C'mon guys, ya gotta know that.

That's the way it is in this house and will be till I'm gone.

Have hat racks vanished? So many places provide no place to hang a hat if you do want to take it off.

 

[Carpenter2n]

very true. I cant remember the last place I saw one. Like your signature line

Hats can be left on indoors in public places. Should be taken off when entering a home. May be put back on if it is a informal visit.
Should always be taken off for national anthem and prayer.
Hat should be taken off the first introduction to a women.
Tiped when passing a women.
Taking off hat to another man is a insult.... :tiphat: ;-)

No one is exempt from class and good taste, well almost no one.

I don't wear mine in church, but I do wear it to church.

I do the same.

I can't imagine anyone taking their hat off to go into a feed store, but then, I've never been into a Tennessee feed store either. Is that an Al Gore rule?

 

[talltimber]

About the only time I wear a hat anymore is when the sun is beating down pretty serious and I'm out in it.
Reasons for removing:
prayer
national anthem (NOT Lee Greenwoods thing, or the thing with John Wayne)
someone's home
my home
church, funeral, hospital room visit, etc
Leave it on:
eating in a public place like cafe, bar

Never been to a Tennessee feed store? Good, let's keep that streak intact.

 

[greybeard]

I fully intend to. Used to live in Tenn. Never again!
Not one of my more pleasant memories either, but I can understand how they elected Mr Global Warming/internet inventor to congress so many times.

:roll:

You are aware of course that Tennessee kept Senator Gore from becoming President Gore.

As for jackazzes in politics you'd search long and hard to top Texan LBJ. Go google his picture.

Now wait a minute. What about our good friend from California, Nancy Pelosi? (If you're going to discuss "jackazzes in politics")

Hopefully no one will
