I wouldn't say anything to them, but I reserve the right to believe they are being disrespectful. The things we do in public display our character, and I find a lack of respect for others off-putting.

make a mental note to never have dinner with Bob then

I've never felt disrespected by someone wearing a hat

seems like a whole lot of caring about a whole lot of nothing to me ... but I retain respect for those who feel disrespected by it

I take my hat off in restaurants and most places for that matter ... just the way I was brought up ... but if the guy at the next table is rockin' a top hat I wouldn't even think twice about it beyond admiring his style

You are right that there are morals that one should hold high. Absolutely.
As stated above, being respectful is very véry important in my book.
If people however take offence that I am wearing a hat inside while they forgot to wear something that resembles a pair of pants? No can do.
Even then, I'm not one to disrespect people based on their appearance.

My general rule is ; if I sit down I'll take off my hat.

I think what Anthony meant was ( or at least that's how I interpreted it ) don't hold on to the very strict rules that where used a long time ago. It's just that, so long ago. Many things have changed since then.
When you are comfortable walking around wearing your hat do it, if not take it off.
Don't think about what others are thinking.

Exactly my point. And I should be worried about people taking offence because I'm wearing a hat? Puhhlease!

For one thing, being an anal-retentive engineer-type, I like rules. I also believe that common mores and standards are good for a well-functioning society. There is no inherent virtue in only thinking of yourself and your needs when interacting with the public.

Having spent a great portion of my life enforcing those common mores and standards (laws), the majority of which are based on common sense, I couldn't agree with you more. I, as you do, like rules and have a full understanding of their necessity. Rules are just boundaries and without them there is no stopping point. Common sense just doesn't seem so common any more.

You realize we're debating this in the wrong thread? That's bad etiquette!

Is wearing a hat indoors a sign of disrespect in 2016? Really?

Get an Federation IV Deluxe in Heritage Fawn or Moonstone...first

No, not always, of course. But seated at a table in a restaurant, entering some body's home, or the like? You betcha.

Of course, bawdy houses are OK.

Advice please! What's the current thinking - is it gauche to wear a hat indoors?

No

I'll take my hat off out of respect to Fruno...
Especially if he's picking up the tab. Drinks included.

I used to like you.

Seriously, I love everybody here. I respect all these diverse opinions and encourage the dialouge and embrace the diversity.

I was wondering what hat out there today would be the best "Bogart" hat one could get? Looking for as close to style, color, crease etc... What is the best hat to get (on the market today) if you wanted that "Bogart" feel?

I hope Bogart had more then one hat.
Or at least a few hats in different styles...

 

[Bamaboots]

I used to like you.

Yeah, I get that a lot. As one of my favorite members sig. line says, "I came here for the hats but I stay for the people." I came for the the boots but I stay for the same reasons.

How great is it that in this thread, as well as many others, discussions can go in so many different directions w/o someone getting out of sorts. Most of the time.
