    Is it acceptable to wear a hat inside on "Casual Friday"... Not that I want to. I think it is wrong and there is someone where I am working right now that tends to wear a hat on Friday. Last week it was a flat cap and this week it is a plain black baseball cap. Well what do you all think, Acceptable or not? And has anyone pushed the limits for casual friday where you are?

    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

      Is he, perhaps, expecting rain inside the office or is strong sunshine impeding his vision, perhaps he's about to putt on the 15th hole? Is he 15 years old? If none of the aforementioned then he's just a dick.

        Its usually just bad manners to wear a hat indoors, but I guess its not so serious these days.

            I wear a hat every day come rain or shine, but never indoors. It is pure bad manners and I would recommend taking your colleague outside - sans titfer - and giving him a sound thrashing.

              Good Gracious...were you brought up or dragged up? A gentleman always removes his hat inside. It is poor form indeed to wear one indoors, and in the military, is actually an offence!

                Wearing a hat indoors is wrong. Wearing a hat whilst eating is just plain rude. I don't trust men in hats. Or with beards. Or who wear contact lenses. All very suspicious behaviour trying to cover up for something.

                      Most people push the limits of business professional. I am sick and tired of seeing a certain half of the population get away with calling a t-shirt a blouse, calling capris pants, and calling sandals shoes.

                          My new job, jeans and collared shirt. My old job was casual everyday, I'm actually shocked at what I used to wear there. On a side note, we had a new guy start yesterday. He showed up at 9.30 with a strange dress shirt and no tie and canvas shoes. Believe me, the dress code was made clear to him; business (shirt tie slacks minimum, suits are common). Our casual Friday requires a collared shirt, he wore a superhero t-shirt and showed up at 9.30 again.

                            That says more than you can possibly imagine. My wife insists that the only reason I wear clothes is so at the end of the day I can look down and know what I've eaten.

                                      Is it acceptable to wear a hat inside on "Casual Friday"... Not that I want to. I think it is wrong and there is someone where I am working right now that tends to wear a hat on Friday. Last week it was a flat cap and this week it is a plain black baseball cap. Well what do you all think, Acceptable or not? And has anyone pushed the limits for casual friday where you are?

                                      Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                                        Sandals with socks every day, rain or no rain, even in snow, just because I can. This isn't the 18th century, who cares about hats?

                                          It depends on where you are from. Here in the states it is acceptable to where hats indoors just not in places of worship. I wouldn't wear a hat at work, even if it is casual Friday. I am lucky to even wear jeans on Friday's at work. My 2 cents.
