Message: <blockquote data-quote="mugsy" data-source="post: 2031875" data-attributes="member: 18914">OK here is my pecadillo - just like the subject line says.I did not wear hats regularly before joining the military, a long time ago, but I learned to remove hats upon entering someone's home, a place of worship, and most businesses (especially a restaurant).I have many old family photos and my male relatives - I am mostly referencing the WW-II generation - clearly wore hats to every "special" occasion to include evening strolls with their ladies.  However, they all stressed that the hat was to be removed upon entering certain places and to greet ladies.Nowadays, I see many men wearing hats - cowboy hats, baseball caps, winter hats and I also see them wearing them right through dinner in restaurants, inside for leisure activities, and even at worship (though I also saw a priest at OU's chapel quietly instruct a man to remove his hat when he presented himself to receive Holy Communion while wearing a baseball cap).What gives?   Does anyone care about this anymore?Do women regard removing hat or tipping the hat as a mannerly thing any longer?I am so confused......(well not really but it's fun to rant)</blockquote>
