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.

Stop in a truckers' cafe sometime........even the women are wearing ball caps,  CAT, Tennessee, Cabelo's..........

At a golf club I used to belong to, if anyone wore a hat in the clubhouse they were supposed to shout the bar as punishment.

While I was active military I made the mistake of calling a younger  woman ma'am. She flew off the handle and threw a tizzy fit. Where I come from you call all women Ma'am it's a sign of respect.

I don't like to see people wearing hats indoors especially baseball hats but my hubby has developed a problem lately in that his head is permanantly cold, he is very thin on top but not bald bald, he's taken to wearing a beanie inside sometimes, just yesterday I went and bought him a plain black one so he didn't look so silly in the black and white footy one he's been sporting. He's been waffling about wearing a beret, get real I said, he's no beret man.

My niece is married to a bloke who I swear never takes his baseball cap off, his kids wouldn't know what he looked like without it, they'd probably scream with fright if he took it off. lol.

My father in law wears an Akubra constantly, in doors and out, annoys the poop out of me!

When I was at TAFE a few years ago the teachers used to tell the young guys to take their caps off in the classroom. Which they did, but they couldn't see the need to.

" Also never comb your hair in public."

I got told off for doing that at primary school sports day!

The rule no eating on the street was observed also.

recently went to a wedding with a friend at a very proper church here. he came and got me,complimented on wearing a real dress and real shoes,but that isn't the funny part,lol!

we went to pick up his mom,and she was horrified that i didn't have a"church" hat,so she loaned me one of hers for the service! it took everything i had not to laugh hysterically,but she was SO serious,i dutifully wore the hat until she said i could take it offf at the reception. AFTER the bride and groom were presented.

stafford and i were giggling madly all the way home,lol!

Even on the hottest day, no one was allowed to sit at the dinner table without wearing a shirt/top with sleeves at Granma's house.

Personally, I detest baseball caps except on a baseball field.  But I suppose they are better than a terry towelling number.

My balding ex, in winter, used to wear a cheesecutter cap outside only.  

For the odd church occasion, a square scarf diagonally folded and tied under the chin was acceptable.

Yep - no indoor hats here. My kids know the rules.

The worse manners I see are on the train. I daily see people:

pick their nose

brush their hair

do their makeup

clip their nails

eat smelly food

talk loudly on mobiles

You still wouldn't sit at my dinner table without a shirt on. I'm okay with sleeveless though 🙂
