MisterGrey said:I agree about restaurants, to a point. For a fast food joint or a food court in the mall-- I think it's OK to leave the hat on in those instances. They're essentially the modern-day equivalent of the greasy spoon diner, and plenty of period photos demonstrate men leaving their hats on in those settings.
Mulberrywood said:I liked the elevator theory information. However, I always take off my hat when I enter a building, even in a corridor. I am not sure why, it just seems correct.
Hey Rob,Siirous said:Putalidonit,
What do you guys up in the cold cold north due in the winter when you go out with coats, jackets, scarfs, mittens, etc?

From the picture of the Skyhook I believe I have all of the materails and pieces to make myself one and suggest that anyone unable to find one could go to any leatherworking or old-fashioned shoe repairman to make one, probably for a reasonable price.jamespowers said:Now see I figured somone would ask me that. I got mine from Art. That is all I know. I think he still has a bunch of them---at least he did before the move. Check with him and see if they are still available.
Regards to all,

I find this the most succint offering I have found but there is one thing in which I have a personal difference: in the winter here the temperatures demand warm clothing but if you enter a shop they are fully heated (unlike my time living in europe where the shops are not super hot) as a result if I don't open my jacket and remove the lid I cook to the level of utmost discomfort. Because of the foregoing I am hat-in-hand with a glove on to protect the hat.DOUGLAS said:I will speak for myself.
I wear my hat outdoors and in indoor public spaces like lobbies and atriums or stores.
I wear my hat in my car unless the crown is too tall.
I tip my hat and give way when a woman is passing when eye contact is made.
I wear my hat in elevator untill a woman enters.
I do not wear my hat in private homes or spaces.
When holding my hat it done so with the liner to the body.
If there is no place to hang or keep my hat I will place it on my lap.
I think this is a really great idea. Making plans for this tomorrow! :eusa_clapJohn in Covina said:Here is an idea for the group. There is a place that makes this clamp device that clamps to the table and will hold a ladies purse or pocketbook.
It seems to me it may be posible to come up with a small springy clamp that would have a hat hook, you pop it onto the edge of the table and hang your hat there. Of course using it as long as it is out of the way and not too difficult to bring with.
The best designs are usually simple and i imagine we could come up with something.
Perhaps one could take to carrying one of htose cheap plastic weather covers in their pocket. Slip it over the hat when it requires protection from greasy surfaces or chili burger drips.John in Covina said:Marc!
:essen:
From your chili description I had envisioned using those stretchy elastic banded plastic hat covers the state police use on their hats when it rains!
Next week I will wear my chapeau to the armories and remove it when I find my seat until I am leaving,canucklehead said:Last Rememberance Day, I was shopping for groceries when they announced the minute of silence. I was wearing a baseball cap at the time, but naturally it came off. During the minute, another fellow, hat firmly on fat head, wandered up the aisle, and I glared very pointedly at him. He just gave me a look as though I was doing something wrong and kept on plodding. Twit.
I would've said something, but it was the minute of silence. Grrrr. Some people have no respect.
Edit: That's the closest I've come to reminding someone to remove their hat.
It seems to me that if there is anything less common than common sense these days it would have to be common courtesy!Tango Yankee said:Ah, I made a classic forum etiquette error--and replied from a "US-centric" position, failing to note your location and forgetting that this is indeed a world-wide forum.
Each nation's military does indeed have it's own traditions and variations of etiquette. My comments are accurate when strictly applied to the USAF in particular and in general to the other US Armed Forces.
Be that as it may, I think we're in agreement that the overall issue is the general lack of etiquette education and the lack of simple respect and courtesy.
In the US there seems to be a fear of appearing too formal or stuffy. It's a sad state of affairs when the individual who adheres to what used to be called common courtesy is now considered the odd one and there's a general attitude of "If I gotta wear a tie I ain't goin'."
Of course, for the past couple of decades I've been of the opinion that the majority of the world's problems are caused by a lack of common courtesy and respect for others.
Cheers,
Tom
