Hats off in the house?

[WV460hunter]

No soup for you.

Generosity starts in the home too.
Well I am just going to say Good Grief . Mountians outta mole hills.

I try not to judge people. Life is too short.

If you don’t beat your wife, or kick your dog, you get up and go to work every day, pay your bills, you have my respect. I could care less were you wear a hat. I don’t even care if you wear shoes.

I don’t believe hats in a building is the problem with this country.

The problem here is not that you wear the hat.

The problem here is that it doesn't bother you in the least.

This is a gun forum. Above all, WE must show respect and common courtesy. We must be the epitome of good and forthright American citizens. Other wise we are labeled as gun nuts or bad people.

Sorry to be critical. But if I don't respect your lifestyle, I won't respect your opinions. No soup for you. (at least not in my house)

And why SHOULD it bother me?

I handle and carry myself in a respectful manner.

Just can't wrap my head around that wearing a hat inside is hurting someone.

Got good grades in school, stayed out of trouble, served my country, went to college, have a good well paying job. Pay my taxes. Own a house and a summer cottage. Cars paid for.

Uh oh, I wear my hat inside.

Must be a worthless individual.

Respect goes both ways.

Wearing a hat in a house naturally will not destroy society, but it does indicate to me an attitude in many. The only hat I have that I wear is a knitted Jayne Cobb hate which is warm but hilariously silly looking, it would look worse if I wore it in a house. Bigger question is wearing one in whose house? Your own? Go ahead. Hell, piss in the sink and spit on the floor if you want to, it's your house. My house? Unless we have an agreement to make yourself at home in my home you are showing a lack of manners and respect to my ownership. The same goes for a guest here just walking over to the refrigerator to grab something that doesn't belong to them...do we have the above agreement between us then help yourself otherwise you are behaving as if you have ownership and control of wherever you are. Manners and decorum come to my mind.

But it is a symptom. As someone once put it, folks have "I trouble." It's the attitude "I'm going to do my thing and to H___ with what everybody else does or thinks." "Nobody is going to tell ME how I should dress. Or comb my hair."

Society has certain standards, which considerate men and women observe. They are not written laws, but rather established standards of behavior. There are no laws regarding courtesy, but folks who care about the feelings of others know them and are taught by their parents, or just learn by observation, how to conduct themselves in public or private.

Well Guys,
It is now time for me to fess up. I guess you could call it my biggest downfall as a Parent and teaching proper manners to Son Trey.
I bought this fine hat that I was told by the nice Chinese salesperson at The Great Wall Of China near Beijing it was Fox. Nope Chow Dog. While I was in Russia the locals kept pointing and woofing at my hat.
Anyway Trey fell in love with it and just would not remove it inside.

You can see the pure joy in his eyes

I get what you are saying. My point is that it is outdated.

Any rule that is gender based, was made obsolete when women demanded equality.

 

[TADD68]

WOW that escalated quickly

Maybe we need to be clearer. Removing your hat when you come inside is a sign of being a civilized person. Wearing a hat indoors shows that you are an uncouth barbarian. You are forgiven being a barbarian one time, but after being told the right way to behave you are expected to be a civilized member of society. There are other rules that have the same value, such as never buttoning the top button on a shirt unless you are wearing a tie. Buttoning that top button, like wearing a hat at the dinner table, is pretty much the same as having a mullet haircut.

 

[KS25-06]

Talk about making mountains out of mole hills. There are much more far reaching problems in this world than hats. About the only place I take my cap off is in church, outside at funerals, in the house, or bed. You want to call me uncouth, I could give a rat's rump. You do what you want with yours, I could care less. Just do not try to take mine off. If there is a sin, in my opinion, it is messing with a persons' hat.

Those are just your opinions.

Other people have different opinions.

 

[Cholo]

I agree with vito. I think we should chain them all together and force them to build prisons to incarcerate them in, that is after a good beating. After all, they're unclean heathens, just worthless trash.

Anyway, I think that's what he's saying LOL

Now, take off that hat and stay off my lawn!

BTW: My shirt is buttoned all the way up, I have a mullet, and I'm wearing a hat indoors. So there!

 

[harley08]

At a gun show how many have there hat in hand none and many do wear hats. Just saying.

The gun shows I got to are in big open areas so keep your hat on so you can buy the gun you want! You need your hands free!

Cholo -

I think I have you beat..

I have my hat on inside, don't know how to write in cursive, I know how to stream videos, don't like old black and white movies AND don't subscribe to newspapers.

Better line me up for the firing squad, building prisons is too good for me

Never heard that one before.

 

[Jack Ryan]

When I was young I was told that men do not wear their hats in doors.
In military it was prohibited.
Women were Ok to wear hats in house and in Church it was expected.
What happened? What changed?

What changed? A generation of disrespectful slobs raised another just like 'em.

 

[Jack Ryan]

I see both sides.

It is seen by most people now a days as an outdated rule.

From a strictly practical standpoint. How does it effect everyone else in the room, if someone keeps his hat on? Its not like its a health hazard.

Especially when you allow women to do it. Women want to and deserve to be treated equally, how can they be equal if they live by a different set of rules?

There was a time women weren’t allowed to wear pants, dresses only. We got rid of that rule, but we cling to the hat rule? Why?

Any rule that is gender based is discriminatory. In my opinion make it the same rule for everyone or get rid of the rule all together.

The harsh reality is I make decisions for myself, if someone has a problem with my fashion choices, it’s their problem not mine.

I stand by @375hh1973 he has a right to do as he pleases. Especially because he served.

... and there ya go. That is what happened.

I see both sides in the Bible to. Don't mean I'm ok to go with either one.

 

[eveled]

My faith tells me who wrote the bible.

I have no idea who wrote these etiquette rules, and I never agreed to live by them.

 

[wv.citybilly]

Judge someone whether they wear a hat indoors? Wow! Beat your wife much?

 

[crstrode]

Manners start in the home. If more of us HAD manners, maybe the liberals wouldn't be on the verge of taking over.


I got manners taught my kids manners . It aint manners the libs need . It's brains and the good Lord Jesus IMHO

Grammar; not so much.
