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 think it’s acceptable in most locations. I assume you’re in McDonalds?

Oh that was replying to me. Sorry. I'm still standing.

Oh no way! 😆😆How dare you!

It’s of no concern to you and really shouldn’t have this big an impact!

Well as long as he takes his hat off, no one.

Can’t agree with you, on this one, because it has absolutely nothing to do with, you, me or anyone else, what people choose to wear.
It’s worth considering, some people wear them, due to a medical condition, it’s not always to do with fashion.

You’re right, this has got to be a wind up.
Your comment definitely made me chuckle though😂

It's breakfast, not dinner where they need to wear long trousers as you stated.

Honestly who cares. Its breakfast, not a black tie ball.

Now hats at dinner, caps dont bother me but why is it every single time i go to an show, concert some clown in an massive hat seems to be stood directly in front of 5 foot me!!

I hate baseball caps especially when they’re worn back to front. But it’s not something I can do anything about and really not worth getting vexed over.

OP there are so many bigger issues that really need your anger and support.

Completely agree with you OP! I haven’t read the full thread so apologies if someone else has mentioned it but there’s a really famous scene in The Sopranos where Tony becomes infuriated with a teenager wearing a cap in a nice restaurant. He’s absolutely furious about it. It’s a very satisfying scene to watch!

Can't stand baseball caps either with or without rude words.

Also hoodies up in good weather.

Not just you, I think it's totally bad manners. (not peri).

It’s quite correct for ladies to wear a hat in a restaurant; gentlemen should always remove theirs. However, since we are now living in 2024, not 1924, my opinion is now, wear what you like as long as you aren’t showing too much skin. Most holiday hotels ask guests not to enter their restaurants if wearing swimwear or with bare feet. Long trousers are suggested for evening meals, but not enforced. Even cruise ships (long regarded as the last bastion of formal dressing), are gradually dropping their “formal” black tie evenings. That in itself could be construed as strange since a hundred years ago, “black tie” for a gentleman at dinner implied casual dressing; white tie (with a tail coat rather than a dinner jacket) was the more formal!

That's completely different and rude and inconsiderate.

What annoys me are people who don't understand how raked seating works and lean forward for a better view- which blocks the view for the person behind them.

My husband could’ve written this post. It REALLY irritates him too. I’ve just read your post to him and he totally agrees with everything you say. Especially the bit about wanting to knock it off their head. I think he might actually do it one day …….

🤣🤣🤣

That hotel can't be that naive if it allows fucking hats at the breakfast tables.
I assume it's an adults only hotel.

My most enthusiastic contrafibularities for using that word.

Peak Mumsnet. See what I did there?

@BadLad 😆

Think I have to watch that episode now...

Can't stand men in a baseball caps. Perhaps they are losing their hair.......?

I’m with you @TomAllenWife i hate hats at any table!! Take them off it’s just polite
