casinos, public streets, airplanes

[Texas Phil Peeno #50923]

I had a conversation yesterday about wearing hats in public areas. I say that casinos, office building elevators, my office/stall, airplanes, trains and restaurant holding areas are "maybe" areas. I consider these as public areas.

[Flashpowder Hal]

I'd be in the yes and no to some of those areas.

 

If I'm "in transit" like public buildings and elevators I'll wear a hat,

 

But if I'm in an area where I'll be seated; cubicle, airplane, train, then I'd remove my hat.

 

If someone sat in front of me on a plane, him leaning back with a western hat-brim in my face, would be down-right rude.

I always take off my hat in an elevator when lades are present

I think that if the hat would block someone's view, notably, then it could be removed. I think it's not the hat, per se, but the blocking of a view.

 

Example:

 

I have taken to wearing a ball cap or painter's cap every day, in recent years, when working with Painless. Bending over him. Keeping my hair out of my face. And he always wears a ballcap by habit. But we often go to the movies, because he's responding to them.

 

So we're in the movies with a hat on, and we sit down front.

 

But I put dark-colored hats on us, so they don't shine in there and they're physically small, so no view is blocked.

 

If I put cowboy/girl hats on us, then I'd take them off during the show, because the wide brim could block someone's view.

 

But to see a cowboy hat on someone at the airport, in office buildings, at the mall, or other public areas: I think it's nice.

Hi Folks,

 

Jen shows good sense and courtesy for others. About the last sentence, this always makes me smile.

My dad taught me to remove my hat whenever indoors, no matter what the occasion. Uncle Sam refined and reinforced many of his views. I probably take my hat off more than what most people consider necessary, but that's just me.

Will you do the same thing while sitting on a card table in Las Vegas? I don't think I ever say JW take his hat off in a bar or saloon unless he was with a woman like in Angel and the Badman. The same goes with Paladin, the consumate gentleman that he is.

Very good - I wear a ball cap...the article says "No one lifts the baseball cap to a passing lady" - I do
