I'm 56 and a few weeks ago, I had my turned around backwards while I was poking my head into something looking around. My wife saw me and said it looked good. Doesn't matter. It doesn't feel right wearing it backwards.

It sounds like you may still have hair.
Depends on situation, and what the function is.
Out hunting, my camo hat is on frontwards.
At a party watching football, my Chargers or Wolverines hat my be on frontwards, backwards, or anywhere in between, depending on the number of beers involved.
Some hats look better backwards.

I started wearing hats when I started working in machine shops (early 70's). In the old days machining was done with straight oil or soluble oil which left a mist in the air. A lot of us wore hats to keep the oil out of our hair (imagine what went into our lungs). No one ever gave a thought to putting a hat on backwards. Not I wear various hats to ward off Squamous Cell Skin Cancer, I have already had four surgeries due to this.
In the recent few decades I have put a hat on backwards to protect my neck, depending on which way I was facing. Or as others have mentioned to keep it from blowing off while riding bikes (motorized or not).

Bill in front except; While driving the boat, when welding or working under a car. Helps keep the grease out of my hair.

The problems with baseball hats are:
1) there is no arrow or label to show what is front and what is back
2) there are no directions or manual supplied

I guess they figured that the big bill sticking out the front would serve in place of some little arrow. As for the directions or manual, well if someone was the type that actually needs directions for a hat, I figure that they are also the type that would never read them.

I guess wearing your big brother's hand-me-downs is a fashion statement.
I will wear mine backward when we are in the convertible. If you don't and look up above the windshield the wind will rip it off your head. You don't want to sunburn your head without it.
I wear a hat just about every where outside. It keeps the rain off my glasses and the sun off my face and head. My dermatologist has been cutting pieces of me off for a few years now. I'd rather not loose more, I don't have that much head to spare. I've lost way more of my head than Trump did and no one wants me to be president or cheers when I walk in a room.

If they did read the directions they probably wouldn't comprehend them anyway. But you have to admit the tan lines left on the face are entertaining and a good indicator you may not be looking at a rocket scientist.
Had to go up in the attic of my church today to scope out two projects I have todo and I turned my hat around to keep me from hitting the low beams up there with my head and I did not realize I was still backwards until I got home.
I also decided I'll probably wait until fall to do the work... just about took my life in my hands walking some of the ceiling joist in the heat up there.

Playing with one of my black powders and wearing my "at the range" cap.
Most any other time it's this.

I honestly couldn't care less how someone else chooses to wear a cap. It's their business, and I don't need to agree with, or approve of it...There are far more important issues in my life.
Wearing your hat backwards while shooting a rifle? The bill of the hat shields the eye from the brightness of the sky or the sun, thus the eye can focus on the front sight or cross hairs clearly. I have shot in many Service Rifle matches; I have never observed anyone with his hat on backwards. First thing in the morning at Camp Perry the sun comes up in the Southeast and is blistering hot, the competitor is facing North. To shield the right side of my face, ear, and neck I have resulted in holding a towel draped over the right shoulder in place with my hat with the bill in the correct direction. Since then, I bought a "rifleman's" hat that has flaps and blinders to shield the sun and the antics of those around me. (Not many "antics" though most people are serious competitors.) While in the Army I wore my helmet slightly cocked to the left rear (I am right-handed) so it would not touch the top of the handle/sight on my rifle. When I am on the rifle, I am in my own little world, I am not concerned with "looking cool".
In the movies... LOL. I saw a movie with curving bullets one time.
