F**king hats in restaurants

[TomAllenWife]

Is my new irritation!!!!

Stayed at a naive hotel last night, at breakfast this morning, two separate men wearing caps for in the restaurant .

On holiday in the summer (boiling hot) men had to wear long trousers for dinner, no shorts, but you could turn up in a baseball cap 🤔

When did this become acceptable?
I resist the urge to knock it off their heads?
I don't know why it makes me so irrationally angry either (peri)

Is it just me?

I don't know we tend to only have picnics together....
Also the "dodgy" reference didn't mention where the baseball cap was worn only that it was dodgy, I didn't make the rules you'd have to ask the previous poster

International travel was once a refined and pleasant affair. Now it's all hair transplantation, hat-bothering and other naive buffet escapades. I blame Wayne Rooney.

I wouldn't even notice and it wouldn't bother me either. How weird. I've worn a hat all day at a wedding. Am I supposed to take it off because we're sitting eating? You're being ridiculous.

I think it’s an American thing - whenever I see someone wearing a hat inside they’re nearly always American.
I think in Europe it’s considered rude to wear a hat inside, but to be fair I think that is probably an old fashioned view point. If you watch dramas set 50+ years ago you’ll notice people will always remove hats when they come inside.

This forum just gets more and more unpleasant. It may be very old fashioned and outdated nowadays, but in the UK it IS still considered to be bad manners for a man to wear a hat indoors. Just because people are ignorant about etiquette and manners and clearly can't be bothered to do the most basic research into why this has been the case for several centuries, it really does make some posters look very foolish with their rude and sarcastic comments.

A family member has had chemo in the past and wears a beanie or cap everywhere. Doesn't bother me.

According to all the costume dramas I consume, wearing a hat in a restaurant or cafe was normal at one time.

I thought men stopped removing hats indoors around the time women stopped wearing gloves and hats outdoors when it’s not cold.
I honestly don’t why this would bother you so much.

Either they're not totally bald which most are not, or their hair transplant fails. Sometimes it's best to wear a hat.

You're not being unreasonable OP, if there's a dress code there's a dress code, if there isn't doesn't matter, They're clearly trying to get people to wear decent clothing so it makes a nice overall experience for everyone. I think it's really disappointing having made an effort to then turn up to venue and people are sat around like scruffs ,and yes I think wearing a fucking baseball cap to eat in a nice restaurant is scruffy 🤷. If you're eating in a fast food place or chain type place crack on, but sometimes people want to dress up and make an occasion, and it then feels deflating to be sat next to folks wearing really casual clothing I think it's rude tbh, and I think a lot of the time people know this and are doing a bit of a f u I'll wear what I want cos I can.

Why would anyone care, though? Not as though someone else wearing a hat impacts on your life at all.

Also, I can’t see where OP says this was in the UK.

If I'm dressed up I'm only concerned with what I'm wearing.

I can't imagine why anyone would care what others are wearing.

The title of this thread is the only thing tacky here.

I have discovered the back of the cap does have a use! Keeping my hair out of the tap when I rinse mouth after brushing teeth!

Don't worry I quickly twist it back round when I am done!

I thought perhaps she meant 'native' but all three of us could be wrong !

Why on earth was my comment about fedoras deleted? Surely everyone knows that fedora wearers are very very wrong people.

I don't like baseball caps, even worn during sport - I personally think they suit no one. However, unless the hotel is the Dorchester or similar I don't think I'd notice or care that a stranger was wearing a baseball cap.

You are too tough

Please and thank you are good manners, acknowledging others but someone wearing a baseball cap to hide baldness should not be considered ill mannered.

Beanies can be very good for ear protection! Especially following ear infection!

But I'd still opt of a hat with some kind of eye protection.

I guess the majority of people aren't wearing hats because they lower their neurological symptoms, allowing them to reenter the world for a short time after being seriously ill for 2 years, like in my case... but you never know.

P.s. every doctor says "take these meds", no doctor says "wear a hat!"

In fairness, the OP set the tone with her opening line.

No. I don't have any anger issues and generally speaking I'm enjoying the company of whoever I'm with rather than sitting judging other people's choice of clothing.

I also just don't care if someone wears a hat in a restaurant because I'm not affected by it in any way at all.

Not if you're Santana.
