Do you eat with your hat on?

[ManinBlack]

Sitting, at the moment, in a fairly posh Italian restaurant. There's a bloke opposite with his wife, probably early 40s & he's wearing a cap. I would never in a million years dream of doing this. Is it because I'm old? Have fashions changed & left me behind? What's the world coming to?

No - I'm 30 and I would find it bizarre if I saw a man wearing a cap inside a restaurant. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, I'd just think he was a bit of a weirdo.

American culture

Men and women wear baseball caps, and think nothing of eating with them inside.


I think it is rude, but would not say anything as it doesn't really affect me.

Inside, hats off

Al Fresco I'd maybe have one on if i was in the sun, otherwise non

No, I would never wear a hat indoors never mind sit at at table with one on. Also, I would never use social media when sitting at the table either!

Only if the mother of the bride hasn't removed hers yet.....

 

[Slab]

I might if I was eating outdoors (but rarely wear a hat if not playing golf so that kinda muddies the water a bit)

No way indoors but just because i'm indoors not because i'm eating (& you don't need a hat indoors, (Gandalf was a bad un for this) )

Also folk that drive with golf/baseball cap on, why? I just wouldn't

This is absolutely commonplace in the USA

i wouldn't have cared less

I can't really see how it's rude.

It goes against tradition, but traditions change all the time.

I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

Just out of interest, how old are you? Maybe it's just an age thing.

Maybe he is suffering hair loss from cancer treatment. Doesn't bother me...

Your posh restaurant might be someone else's Wetherspoons.

The worlds coming to what people make it,people who worry about little things that never effect them.

I think it is bad etiquette to eat with your hat on.
But I suppose it depends where you are.

Absolutely not, bet this bloke also cut his spaghetti with a knife.

What's wrong with that, like?

This ^^^^^

In the UK I never wear a hat indoors but if eating outdoors I may well keep a hat on as I easily get sun stroke. I wear a hat for practical reasons not fashion. I don't get upset by hat wearing. I understand a certain generation see it is a manners thing but I don't. If people like wearing their hats then they can keep doing it.

Closer to 100 than 40.
