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.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth (lol)

and there really were no take away places,  I remember

it was very rude to eat whilst walking or even on the street

for that matter.

There were signs moulded into the footpath in the city

that said 'no expectorating'.   Never knew what that meant.

Wish I still didn't know

Yes.   Wearing gloves made me feel very grown up, indeed.     Hahaha

You still can't wear a hat in the RSL clubs here in Sydney.

I still think it's bad manners to wear a hat indoors, but then again I'm old school, so I would, wouldn't I ?

I don't really see the point in wearing a hat indoors though.

I have to laugh (inwardly) at some of our young girls at work wearing a beanie all day at their desks because it's a fashion statement. I don't laugh out loud, of course that would be bad manners.

 Also you had to have your head covered when you walked into a church.   Also never comb your hair in public.

Without really thinking about it, that's still something I never do. Maybe fruit or an ice cream, but not a sandwich or burger or anything like that. I'd have to sit somewhere to eat those.
Although that may be simply because I'm a bit messy and would probably end up wearing most of it lol

 And, if you didn't have a hat - you put a hankie on your head.      ROFL

And I remember bieng told by the nuns who taught me that "only a murderer would wear gloves in church."

We used to get into terrible trouble at my convent school if we were seen eating or drinking in the street while in school uniform, and to see a nun eating ANYWHERE would have been considered so shocking as to be virtually unthinkable. 

Also I'm not sure about here in Australia but in England it was considered disrespectful (almost contempt of court) by some judgesf or a woman to appearbefore them  in a courtroom withe her head uncovered.

I'm with you there.

And the school my kids go to, they are taught the same, and if someone stops to talk to them (except for their school yard mates when "playing" in the playground iykwim), they have to remove their hats.

BC had a lot of trouble with this as he wore a hat until grade 7, includiong indoors - he pulled it down over his eyes so he didn't have to look at anyone and he could pretend they weren't l;ooking at him - until Grade 5 he sat under his desk to avoid the same - it took the school a lot of patience to get him to do the whole hat thing.

If the boys are wearing dress uniform with shorts, socks must be pulled up to knees etc

....................

Had to wear gloves when I was at school, and one Anzac Day Parade, I had removed one of my gloves (was holding it) whilst on parade and a photo of us on parade ended up on the front page of the local paper - I was in the front row - no glove - and the Nuns went ballistic - how I had bought shame on the college etc etc - I was suspended and parents were asked to return from OS to collect me.

It was a similar scenario the following year when I got busted for selling condoms at school......

That didn't go down well either....

Spoiler

although I was expelled for that one, and dad reckoned he had to donate money to the building fund to get me back in.
