The resultant mess is horrible and all of us gave permission for them to wear their hats until they were healed.<br /><br />But ball caps in dining rooms make me want to go and rip them off and throw them out the window. Only the thought that I was raised to be a lady prevents me.<br /><br />Not that I now follow all the lady stuff rules. Do not be too shocked at the fact that I no longer wear white gloves to go down town and shop. Probably because you can't shop in most down towns any longer.<br /><br />MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-89663767230398483702016-07-12T07:27:05.511-04:002016-07-12T07:27:05.511-04:00Thank you for posting about what the non-removal o...Thank you for posting about what the non-removal of hats in public places, restaurants, performances, etc. dven though my father never wore a hat of any type, I was raised to know that they were always to be removed in certain places. Sadly, that is not something most people seem to have been brought up knowing. It also seems commin courtesy to be hatless when at an indoor performance so as not to inconvenience anyone else's view. Seems you and I are of a very different generation, AC, and I have no regrets.Beatrice P.

They'd hide their faces from us, and that just wasn't Canadian!<br /><br />My teaching colleague walked into the local McDonalds one day. Her hubby, walking behind her, noticed that every kid in the place saw her and removed their ball caps! It's a great story! Thanks for reminding me of it!Jenn Jilkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05259681360456905055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-56143895887505327122016-07-09T12:06:20.676-04:002016-07-09T12:06:20.676-04:00I remember being similarly annoyed when I had the ...I remember being similarly annoyed when I had the prvilege of dining in a very fine restaurant once and there was a family seated close to us with a teenager dressed in ripped jeans, an old t-shirt and a baseball cap. I'm a people watcher so I always notice what's going on around me, but it rarely annoys me like it did that time. There we were, on a gorgeous summer night, all dressed up and gathered in this beautiful dining room, anticipating a beautiful meal-an experience we might only have just this one time-and his nonchalance detracted from the overall experience that I was having, somehow. I also felt his family wasn't doing him any favours by not teaching him better etiquette, but maybe they were just happy he joined them. I remember having to choose my battles with my kids, especially during the teen years.Chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609788440028784698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-29629890671504888682016-07-09T10:38:08.528-04:002016-07-09T10:38:08.528-04:00Here, if you enter a building of any sort, take th...Here, if you enter a building of any sort, take that da@# hat Off!<br />You weren't raised in a barn or by a pack of wild wolves...just do it.

I do, by the way, have a couple of my grandma's hats, and treasure them and the gentility they represent from their heyday in the 40's and 50's.

While it makes absolutely no difference, as Tabor said, in my mind, I was screaming for her to tell those boys to take off their hats in church. It is hard to reconcile how we were raised with today's standards sometimes. I was glad that I recognized it at least.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-38563341315810121872016-07-08T07:08:52.039-04:002016-07-08T07:08:52.039-04:00I was thinking about this same thing when eating ...I was thinking about this same thing when eating in a nice restaurant the other day and watching a tall and well-tattooed man eat with his baseball cap on. I do not think it is right, but in reality it makes no difference.
