1280804 2012-06-10 00:56:00 Its only a hat. Why make issue of it. QW. (15883)
1280805 2012-06-10 01:00:00 Apart perhaps for religious reasons, or on a demolition site, why would anyone feel the need to wear a head covering indoors, especially a cap, especially in a restaurant?

And if I was paying for the meal (as I assume ReefRunner was), I would be insulted if one of my guests argued with me over a perfectly reasonable request.

Sounds like there is a 17-year-old who needs some manners slapped into him (and perhaps his parents also)....

An why for eff's sake do people need to where a hat when there's in a vehicle driving along on a bright sunny day!!??

1280808 2012-06-10 01:36:00 While that is a great story tuiruru we are talking about a hat. Perhaps if the help was refused because he was wearing a hat it might be relevant to one side of this argument.


Well, I bet you, if he'd been wearing a hoody she'd have probably locked herself in the car until somebody "nice" had come along!!

1280809 2012-06-10 01:38:00 Her loss then right, judging by appearances is a fail. DeSade (984)
1280810 2012-06-10 01:38:00 uh, why do you think anyone should have to justify what they choose to put on their heads?

Please, if you ever see me, and I'm wearing a hat, have me up about it, and I'll tell you to **** off.

this entire topic is a tad queer.

edit.

I also have a hoody.

pathetic.

1280811 2012-06-10 01:40:00 Its a hat, and the only person with a say in it is the wearer of the hat.

What? As in a person carrying around an automatic (suspected Glock) and discharging at a person wearing a blue shirt has the only say in it?

1280812 2012-06-10 01:44:00 I also have a hoody.

You're totally missing the point on that one Metla!

1280813 2012-06-10 02:16:00 :help:My family and my eldest daughter's boy friend, aged 17, went for a meal at a fairly sophisticated 'French' restaurant, at least it is sophisticated enough to serve a pretty decent coq au vin and list its chips as pom frit. The boyfriend is a likeable young man but he did not remove his baseball cap on entering the restaurant or when we were seated at our table. To me this demonstrated extremely bad manners and was insulting to his hosts.

I suggested that he should remove his cap and a discussion ensued as to the rights and wrongs of his being required to do so. He eventually complied with my request and the meal progressed under a cloud.

I try not to be too old-fashioned when it comes to manners, having 3 teenage daughters brings me down to earth quite often, but for a male to wear headgear in anyone's home or in a restaurant is, for me, a no way José.

Any opinions on this, was I right or wrong or just being too old-fashioned as my eldest daughter insists that I was?

:confused:

Did he have his belt adjusted to support his pants just above the knees? :rolleyes:
