Do you eat with your hat on?

A lot of golf clubs have a clear dress code but lots of people on here think it's ok to ignore them.

Like I said, if I want to eat next to someone in a baseball cap I'll go to Wetherspoons but I don't expect it in a posh restaurant. I guess you and I have different standards.

I have been to lots of golf clubs that have dress codes but I have never been to a restaurant with a dress code that prohibits hats. We clearly have different views. How are the 1950's :D?

There is no timestamp on good manners
 
Im 25, and I wear caps regularly (I follow american sports so i own a good collection of NBA and MLB 59fifties) when going out. My girlfriend doesnt like the fact that I wear one but if we were in a pub for lunch i would keep it on, if we were going out for a meal somewhere in the evening I wouldn't wear one. It all depends where we are going and for what purpose. I would always remove when in a golf club though, thats just a given.
 
Who wears hats these days ? Didn't they go out with driving gloves ?

I wear one for golf when it is very hot or cold, but can't think of any other time. Certainly not when going out for a meal.

:o Just remembered I will be wearing my flat cap to Goodwood revival this year.:thup:
 
Bad manners, simple as that. I would say using your phone is as bad though! ;)

Seriously though, I do hate bad etiquette and manners are a big thing for me and my family. Old fashioned that way, but each to their own. I wear hats a lot and always take them off when going indoors.

Did remind me of this classic from The Sopranos :cool:

I started the thread as a tongue in cheek, lighthearted commentary on the age gap. As stated earlier, my age is closer to 100 than 40 & it's just something I would never think of doing. Seeing someone else doing it looks funny. It doesn’t bother me in the least & I think most of the other people who have posted here aren't complaining, just commenting on how attitudes change over the years.
 
I'm 26 and wouldn't think to wear a hat in a sit down social setting like a dinner. Not sure what the traditional background behind it is but the way I think about it is that you should not be obscuring part of your face in such a scenario.

I'd rather someone was wearing at hat in a restaurant than posting on a forum on their phone during a meal, but maybe that's just me.

Seeing as the vast majority can't resist from using their devices whilst eating out... I am not sure how'd you know whether they were on a forum or on dateline...

Fondly remember the days when using mobiles in pubs/eating places was highly frowned upon...

All members of the group place their phones face down in the middle of the table. first one to check their phone, pays the bill.
