Cowboy hat while eating...

[Jason]

All hats off indoors, period.

I think the original question was misunderstood. The question wasn't whether or not to take it off while eating but rather what you typically do with it once you take it off at the dinner table. Taking it off at the table was a given in my mind. At the DU Banquet last night, about 70% of the guys there were wearing hats and I didn't see any come off while in the building. I didn't notice one guy take their hat off at the table either which surprised me.

No covers on indoors. Walked in to a SOB ( state office building) awhile back and left my hat on and heard “ no covers on indoors “ from the security guard , looked around and everyone was carrying them

I don’t wear a hat/cap in church or at the dinner table, and ALWAYS remove it for the anthem or a prayer. But I’ll be ****ed if a security guard will make me take it off in a public building.

That’s interesting. Folks wear them like crazy during legislative hearings in the Capitol.

Dang Democrats they just don’t get it they have 0% respect for decency

Always off when at the table. When I was in the Navy it was never on when indoors or down below deck. Just a military thang and my Dad said not to as well.

Yes sir. That’s how it’s done.

Not wrong, just disrespectful

Still don’t understand this thinking?

How does one feel disrespected by a hat?

It’s not the hat. It’s the bonehead underneath it refusing to exercise the manners that his folks surely taught him...

According to the interweb it’s appropriate to take it off if you have a place safe to put it. I know this because I was at dinner at Bobs the other night. 4 people and 4 chairs. Nowhere safe to put it. So I wore it. Felt strange but I wasn’t giving a $600 felt hat to the waitress to set somewhere. World didn’t end and I didn’t seem to offend anyone. And mostly the wife don’t mind. That was enough “ok” for me.

I don't know which Navy you served in...……
But, on board every ship I was on.... You always wore a cover....
Especially out at sea..... Watch cap, white hat, ball cap.....
didn't matter, but your head better be covered, if you were
on duty...…..

Yes sir. That’s how it’s done.

I held the door for a 30ish woman the other day who then proceeded to rudely tell me not to open a door for her. I informed her I was more scared of my dead father than I was of her and would continue to do so.

I had a woman once stop in her tracks, and yell at me when I held the door open for her. She said, “what the hell are you doing? You think because I’m a woman I can’t open my own dam door?”

I replied, “I’m sorry ma’am, I mistook you for a lady.”

I leave it on

I went to a wedding recently where the whole wedding party wore their cowboy hats in church, I felt queasy about it, plus they were so young, looked like little boys misbehaving.
