What's wrong with wearing a hat indoors?

Good job not giving that woman an attitude. Proud of you!! Anyway, she's from a time when wearing a hat with a lady was insulting. Where a man always took his hat off as a sign of respect wherever he was. She's a product of a long-ago past. She's also got no manners & should mind her own business. Anyway....Hats are cool & make an excellent statement nowadays. Especially if you wore one of these really specialty hats to impress! She must've loved you in that hat. But the way you handled the situation is what really impressed your crush. Trust me. And... no worries. ←(･‿･┐)

This comes down to personal preference. Some believe that all hats need to be removed when an individual is indoors, regardless of the social setting. Others are more flexible and believe this only applies to certain situations (eg: church). Ultimately, you need to do what feels right for you.

People of her generation (and mine) were taught that leaving a hat on inside (and in the company of women) was rude and disrespectful.

It didn't matter where it was, inside, the hat was/should be removed. If no one has taught you that, I'm sorry.

Yeah... hat etiquette is pretty old school and irrelevant. I'm surprised anyone thinks it matters at all anymore.

I don't think you need to remove it in the mall. It's treated the same as a sidewalk in hat etiquette. You shold take it off if you go to class or see someone you know and talk to them. It's pretty archaic either way. Idk the reason tho

no not really some people just dont like when hats are worn indoors in general and some people voice their opinions very loudly.

Evidently it Offends some Busybodies "Sensibilities..." I'd Ignore Them & get ON with Your Life... :)

u should also remove your hat at a restaurant when u re about to eat. also isn't it too hot for wool hat?

i wouldnt have taken it off and i wouldve told her to mind her own business
