When you meet a lady on the street do you tip your hat?<br /><br /> When in a resturant do you remove your hat?

Re: Lid up or lid down

Here I thought you were asking about something different... That lid I do put down out of respect for any ladies which may need to use it after I'm finished.<br /><br />I had to vote no to both, as I don't generally wear hats. On the very rare occsion I wear a hat, I do remove it when I eat. I can't recall the last time I wore a hat to a restaraunt, even fast food.

I bet ever one a you guys who said ya don't wear hats wears a ball cap or something when you go fishing.<br /><br />I excluded fast food joints from my definition of "restaurant" for purposes of this survey. Also excluded campgrounds & boat docks from my definition of "on the street".

I don't fish, and I can't wear a cap anyway. My noggin's too big. I wear a XXL helmet and can never find caps that fit.

Tipping your hat may be considered as sexual harasment. So I just wink so theres no confusion..<br /> ;) <br /><br />BTW I only wear a hat when my head is cold.

Re: Lid up or lid down

On the rare occaision I wear a hat I remove it indoors period. I'm not sure where that got pounded into me, home or miltary service or somthing but I get a little tense when I see somone wearing a hat inside.<br />Ive also seen it during the National Anthem at Sporting events. Just another example of how various courtesies and mannors have been eroded. <br /><br />Some of these guys will no doubt want to fight or shoot somebody over "respect" but not demonstrate basic polite behaviors.

I sometimes weat a hat outdoors. Almost always wear a cap with big visor for the sun on a boat. Never wear a hat indoors. It makes you look like a retard.

Hats are a tool. (for me)<br />Only wear a hat when needed.<br />Huntin/Fishin/Boatin or Workin/Flying kites in the rain.<br />What would be the point of wearing a hat inside?

I always wear a hat, I tip it when saying hi to females, I take it off when indoors or during the anthem or prayers.<br /> navy taught me how to wear it with the bill facing fwd so I am never lost, I am always following bill.<br /> when going indoors or in a hospital area the ball cap brim can be tucked into the belt that I always wear and carried safely. and yes I ALWAYS carry a hankerchief.

Re: Lid up or lid down

I had to answer no to both questions because i don't wear a hat.<br />If I did I would most certainly take it of in a resturant, as for tipping it when I saw a lady maybe not.

I only tip my hat for older "laddies".....or the goooood lookin women in their prime. :D <br /><br />I dont wear my hat in Church or fine dining, but for a casual restaurant or fast food, it keeps old baldy warm. :D
