No, I'm not from the 1930s

The real crime is when people wear sunglasses indoor. Hats are acceptable but not when you're eating.
You are just reminding me of the stupid-as-hell rules in elementary school. Do you also get annoyed when people are chewing gum indoors? taylor888How is not being allowed to chew gum in class a stupid rule? Maybe The reason they won't let you chew gum is because immature kids will just stick it under their desks, causing trouble to the already overworked janitors and damaging the schools property? Maybe I'm just considerate :roll:. No, gum indoors doesn't annoy me, as long as the chewing is discrete, not obnoxious.
It doesn't bother me, but I do think wearing sunglasses and hats especially ones with peaks or people who wear winter hats in summer looks stupid as hell. I never take fashion over comfort, and I really can't see how anyone will be comfortable wearing a beanie or whatever in the summer indoors.
Maybe if you are poor and can't afford heating in winter, other then that a hat indoors is just a fashion statement, and not a good one.

No, some of us have real problems to worry about.

This is really the best point on this thread. Concerning yourself with something so menial is explained in the saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff." You must have pretty much a perfect life if the biggest thing that you have to worry about is whether people wear hats inside. Now sunglasses inside when it's dark out is another story. That's just dou.chy.
So is hats inside to some people...
Why are people being so weird. Its bad manners.
In 1880. Things have come and gone as far as traditions and things that are considered polite through the decades. It used to be customary to feed and shelter, amonst other things, guests in your home. Now it's not considered rude to not feed people just for a social call. You can't please everyone all the time. Some people just have different ideas of what their values imply. Some people find it rude not to take your shoes off when you come inside the house, while others that find it rude not to take off your hat, wouldn't bat an eye at leaving their shoes on.
Now, I do think it's rude not to take off your hat at the dinner table, but just wearing it in your own home while watching tv or at a university or over to a friends house is no big deal to me and I'm not a teenager or young 20's. I'm older and have seen various things that have been considered rude or are acceptable. If I know someone has a problem with shoes, or hats, I take them off. But I don't go around assuming that what some believe should apply to all that actually doesn't hurt anyone.
You have to remember, your culture and your values cannot be attributed to everyone. That's ethnocentric and it's also self-centered. If it's something that is actually damaging to people as a whole, then yes, that is bad, but disagreeing over something like hats inside and calling people rude is just absurd. I guarantee that everyone that thinks hats inside is rude has done something they find to be acceptable, yet was offensive or rude to someone somewhere along the way. When you think of it that way, you can see that you can't walk on eggshells around everyone and you can't assume what's rude to you is rude to them and that if you don't find it rude, you are somehow lesser of a person. Get over yourselves.
