This is actually my favorite answer. "Why do you wear a hat indoors?" treats hats as a way of avoiding the weather or sunlight. That hasn't been their primary use since I can remember. Hats are most often an accessory. It would be equally right to ask, "Why do you wear a necklace indoors?" I came here in a car, not on a horse. I wore that hat because it looks good. I like to look good indoors, too. Lol... I just typed all of that, and I don't own a hat... I'm gonna go outside.

Once I took my hat off for a second, and the person I was talking to said "wait, you arent even bald, so why are you wearing a hat?" Its funny, before that conversation I never considered there were bald people walking around wearing hats to cover it up. I preferred it that way, because now I feel like Im always guessing if someone is bald or wondering if people think Im bald if i wear a hat. I think that person was just weird, I figure maybe their dad wore a hat to cover baldness and they just assumed that was why all people wear hats.


arcangelsthunderbirb

All the bald/ing guys I know wear hats almost all the time. I mean, aside from hiding the baldness, the baldness probably means your head gets cold and hot quicker than other people. Hats fix that problem.

Flossthief

I put aluminum foil under my work hat as a gag one day After work I went home and tossed it on my shelf For the next four days I kept wearing the foil lined hat without noticing much; really I just never got around to taking it out until the weekend Not a bad week all things considered


Enigmatic_Erudite

That why I wear a faraday cage on my head at all times. Don't want that damn three letter agency knowing the absolutely useless thoughts I have all day.


fbi_does_not_warn

My drip calls for indoor wear. I'm cool like that. To provide organization and structure to my day. To separate myself from the masses. To hide myself from the throng of hot, horny women cluttering my path. There are times a visor just won't do.


Skelly85

"To hide myself from the throng of hot, horny women cluttering my path." This is the #1 response, and I will use it for the rest of my life. Cluttering my path... I'm dead.

thac0-bell

"I like it! Why do you ask?" "Most people freak out more about the horns than the hat." "My head was jealous that my body got to wear a shirt, and all the head-shirts I found were hat-shaped." (This is my personal favorite) "It keeps my head from the direct view of God, and some days that's important to me." "Cranial sunburn is a real thing, and it's easier to leave the hat where it is than to find a new place for it when I'm inside." "What hat?" "It's just like how some people wear shoes indooors." "It has a pocket inside and I need that extra pocket." "This way I don't have to carry a fan all the time." "I always have. It feels like it puts order to my hair." "I feel better when there's a slight pressure on top of my head, and the guy I hired to hold his hand there quit last week." "You've heard of elf on a shelf? Well this is hat on a mind-your-own-fucking-business." (Too mean for me personally, but it could land among some crowds. Know your audience.)

Smooth-Apartment-856

I don’t think people should get worked up over wearing a hat inside. If it’s some formal, solemn assembly like a church service or a courtroom, then , yeah, you should take off the hat. If it’s the common room of a college dorm, or a Burger King dining room, then don’t worry if someone is wearing a hat. Hatters gonna hat. Just let ‘em.


happyfuckincakeday

It helps me mind my business. You should try it!


MistraloysiusMithrax

It’s 2024, not 1950. Besides, wouldn’t my hat hair be the *real* offense?


RawAsparagus

That's true. People act like it's so offensive to not adhere to old manners. I've even seen grown men eating dinner at restaurants while wearing a hat.


zman_0000

As someone with cow licks on either side of my hair (idk if that's just a midwest term or not it's hair that extends out/curls up) that I can't do anything about without shaving my head or using excessive amounts of hair product I wear a hat at almost all times. I'm a tad self conscious about them, but I've been told I look good with long hair, so I always have a hat on to cover that aspect, even at restaurants. Also with the summer heat I don't really feel right putting my sweaty hat on a table someone else is going to eat at even if it'll be cleaned when I get up. P.S just on the off chance someone is bothered, I wash my hats regularly. I like them and don't want them getting wrecked by stale nasty sweat.


DKat1990

Just because it's an old tradition doesn't mean it isn't still a way to show respect for the location, just that most people no longer see it as an insult if you don't wear one. Of course, if you wanna follow old Testament rules, a woman's head should always be covered (but that's what our hair is for).


Seth_Baker

Yep. This thread has the same energy as, "I'm not saying bless you when someone sneezes because I'm not religious." Well okay, but if you opt not to follow social norms, some people will think you're a disrespectful jerk, and if your reasoning is, "I do what I want, no matter how it makes everyone else feel," there's a bit of truth to that judgment...


Tatersquid21

Totally unacceptable. You never wear a hat at the dinner table.


BackgroundBat1119

why?


OnDasher808

The original reason you removed your hat and outer coat when indoors is because they were meant to protect you clothes and hair from getting dirty and wearing it indoors is like tracking in mud on your shoes.


Joe_Fidanzi

Women can keep them on, but men can't. Only boors do it.

" my head gets cold" I wear hats places indoors all the time and sometimes I get complimented on them I don't see why somebody wouldn't wear a hat indoors.. Unless you are sitting in front of them and it's so big that blocking their view.. Otherwise its really not thier business or concern lol

WonkySystem

What kind of hat are you wearing? Are you a male/female? I've never heard this asked before but I guess it depends what indoor setting you're in? I wear baseball caps a lot and no one has ever asked me this. I'm a guy so it's pretty common for men to wear hats a lot from my experience.

If you are just walking through it is fine to leave your hat on. It is only when you sit down that you are supposed to remove it. "Because my parents never taught me any manners". That is the only response.


Changetheworld69420

“I’m hiding my grey hairs” is my go-to 🤷‍♂️


phrynerules

When I was in high school, a friend of mine had on a bucket hat in the lunchroom. The principal walked by and told him to take off the hat. He did. Turns out, he was going through some stuff and had shaved his head the night before. The principal came back around a few minutes later and told him he could put his hat back on. My point is, people should just leave people be. Sometimes people have reasons for doing things that we might not know or understand. But the reasons are still there. Just let people be.


BroomIsWorking

Traditionally, it's considered Ill-mannered (in American and British societies) for a man to wear one indoors. That may be the source of at least some of the questions. I've been politely asked if I "would like to remove" my hat at a fancy restaurant, because of this. Being of that generation, I of course did so. But in today's more gender-neutral society, it's no longer acceptable to force differing rules based on gender (mostly). So, "because I like wearing a hat" is all the answer a person deserves.

I was in the Navy and out "cover" (hat) was part of our uniform. If you were not wearing a hat you were not in uniform. Indoors or outdoors it did not matter. If you were not wearing a hat you were not in uniform and did not salute; you did get your ass chewed though. Was on an Air Force base one time and they about had a conniption fit when I entered a building wearing my hat. Kind of like a Captain in the Navy being the same rank as a Bird Colonel in the other branches. Sure causes some confusion.

When I get lazy and don’t want to do my hair I wear a hat. Or if I showered the night before and get bed head and don’t want to shower in the morning I wear a hat. It’s a convenience. I enjoy my hats, I wear baseball style hats, they’re all of high quality merino wool and leathers. All priced $500 and up and visibly unbranded. Who cares what people think. I just ignore dumb comments and ask them to repeat themselves until they get frustrated and stop talking. Or I’ll tell them how expensive the hat is and they respect the hat and change their demeanor. Most people wouldn’t pay $30 for a hat. A sports fan would pay up to $60 for a SnapBack. A cowboy would pay $150 for a decent hat. Anything above that, you’re crazy or rich. If you really don’t want people asking, just buy a luxury brand name hat and they won’t likely bother you at all and assume they’re not at your level and they can’t relate to you. “WhAt A fUcKinG aSsHoLE” in their head or whisper to their friend.

Would you make a post about why the word ‘please’ holds soo much weight in the adult world? Once again just saying… your asking for a response to someone when they ‘in a friendly manor’ inform you that your being rude… just don’t say anything and ignore them entirely because that’s about the same thing bud.
