Styles said:One of my biggest pet peeves is men who 1) don't remove their hats (or caps these days) upon going indoors; 2) eat with their hats on indoors. Does everyone else run into this everywhere you go?
Well, I take my hat off when I enter a home and when at a dinner table. Now, if I'm at a lunch counter and there is no where to put the hat, it stays on the ol' bean! I keep it on in stores and public places. I will also keep it on if my hair is in a real disarray. People I'm sure will enjoy the sight of a sharp hat then my bad hair days! I just look at old photos of such places and see how many men have their hats on and I go off of that. Taking the hat off is a way to show respect. So, when you meet some one for the first time you take it off, and when a lady speaks to you.
The one that bugs me to no end is when I see some who dance with a fedora on, no, no, NO! That's a mighty big NO, NO! You take that lid off as you enter the ballroom.

PS. Keeping your hat on isn't a sign of sloppy dress, it's a sign of bad manors. Back to suits!
