Gotcha.
I think I just look better with the hat, only goes off for church, and the flag, occasionally even sleep in it.
People generally don't wear giant hats that block someone's view anymore. A ball cap isn't likely to be any more obstructive than someone's hair, so it's become more of a tradition than any real practical show of politeness.
I still take mine off for more formal dinners, during the anthem, etc...but that's just out of respect to the older generations or simply because my hats are rather informal. I see no need for it. If somebody comes along and knocks it off my head, we're probably going to have a problem.

I always remove my hat before going indoors, but it's a habit from the military. My girl calls me out on it all the time, "You know you're not in uniform, right?" When I was bartending I liked calling out "cowboys" that wore their hats inside. Any self respecting cowboy knows you take your hat off inside and around ladies.
When I go into a building, I turn my ballcap around backwards, (spits coenhagen)
Then ask everyone WTF they are looking at.

I think a gentleman should always remove his hat indoors or when around a lady.
His pants too but we will not go into that.

Hat? What is this "hat" you speak of? Frankly, I gave up wearing hats shortly after leaving the Navy. I only wear one when needed (extreme sun/cold) and then only outside.
My sentiment exactly. And it goes for a lot more than just hats.
