Man wearing hats inside

[tulip*place]

The other night watching HotSeat, one of the contestants was wearing a hat.   Said to my mum that there was a time when a man didn't wear a hat inside and she mentioned that it was the norm for a man to tilt his hat for a lady also. 

How many other things from the past have long gone as well as shoes and bags not matching.

Hard to describe.  Just google it.  Plenty of piccies there.  I think it originated in the British Isles territory.

slip, slop, slap...So what do you do with your undonned baseball/brim hat while you are inside?

Especially if you are at an indoor/outdoor sporting event or venue?

Has anybody noticed the extreme prevelance of  hat stands/lockers (lockable in public places) adorning the inner sanctum of the

majority of premises foyers?

The plain fact is I have left/lost scores of hats after leaving them on hatstands, tables, chairs, shelves or dropped them on the

floor after slipping the bill of a baseball hat into the rear of my waistband and then gone on to burn the **bleep** out of my face,ears

and balding noggin.....

HOWEVER....

I tend to leave most buildings.... with my head intact and still attached to my shoulders.... and if I leave my hat on my head.... then

wait for it..... IT LEAVES WITH ME.... I rest my case. It does bring to mind though the local discrimination case at Woopy way back

when whereby the Woolgoolga sikhs were being excluded from the RSL club for not removing their headwear.

Hi colic.  Well, aren't you the forgetful one

Perhaps, at a venue you could "check-in" your cap/hat, as I do with an umbrella.  However, you have to be alert enough to remember to collect it at leaving time.

I love whirlpool.... some quotes from an off track "Why the hats off in clubs rule??" debate

"I know it sounds ridiculous but this stuff is true. A person who starts fights is more likely to wear a particular piece of clothing, often a hat for example. Some bars it's footy jerseyis. I know of one pub which banned Ed Hardy clothing as they found about 70% of the guys who got into fights wore that brand."

" I don't see what the problem is. There's a bar near me that won't let anyone in if they're wearing a suit. It's great."

"I once once refused service because I was wearing a 'flannelette' shift (bogan look). I asked if I took the shirt of, would I get

served (I had a t-shirt on underneath). I was told 'yes'. Took the shirt off, rolled it up under my arm 'yes sir, what can I get you?'."

"I lined up at a particular nightclub in Melbourne one night which actually had a sign on the door with the following conditions of entry...
No Ed Hardy
No mullets
No rat tails
No suits
(They must get a strange crowd)
My mate and I got knocked back (first and only time ever) because our shirts looked too similar. Yet sunglasses, hats, singlets and shorts were the norm for everybody in the club"

"No Ed Hardy,No mullets, No rat tails, No suits, ....... It's OBVIOUS.

Those who wear Ed Hardy have mullets or rat tails and probably start fights with guys in suits."

There's an older gentleman that comes into work every day, and he tips his hat to all the ladies. 🙂 He's also a bit of a smooth talker. He always ends his transaction with "Have a romantic day" 😄

same here Lurker - that was from my grandfather, and then through my father -

no one came to the table without a shirt, no one started eating until everyone was seated and no one left the table until the meal was over and everyone was finished eating.

And all the kids (even adult kids) had to ask  "May I please leave the table?"

If the meal was presented in dishes from which to serve yourself, the kids had to wait until the adults had been served before they were, and if you wanted seconds, had to wait until everyone else had finished firsts and anyone taking the last of something had to offer it to everyione else first

and if the meals were presented plated, no one was to pick up their cutlery until the head of the table signalled the start of the meal by picking up theirs.

Table manners.  All the above still happen at my table.

All meals are on the table for you to serve yourself.  I do not do

individual plating.   Not everybody wants or likes everything.  So

they're not obliged to eat it.

Everything else you said including "May I be excused?' still happens

I love table manners.

Do Clubs still have the no open shoe rule (including leather sandals, not just thongs) for male?
Ladies could enter wearing sandals though.

My Grandmother in law was a stickler for the no shirts at the table rule. She also would only enter a house through the front door. She came to our house once ( lived a long way away) with other members of family, they came in the back door. Where is Nana? Waiting at the front door to be let in. Ridiculous.
She would never drink tea out of a mug either, must be cup & saucer.
