    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?

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

                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.

                      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.

                          Not here in the States. Of course, you need to use good judgement. You wouldn't wear a baseball cap at a 4 star restaurant.

                            That pisses me off to no end. Do I wear a at at work? no I rarely wear a hat at all. But the issue stands at this, who the hell are you(generally speaking, not directed at the OP) to tell me that a hat is rude? Who was the almighty stand-in for God that said wearing hats was a rude thing to do? The same person that says a beard is unacceptable(no I don't have one, nor want one) or the same person that thinks a 900 dollar suit means I am more professional than the guy wearing jeans. My current job is jeans by the way, I am not a customer facing person at all, my "customers" and end users of my software are employees of the company. I get sooooo sick and tired of the PC bulls**t that goes on like this. Because I am not a pretentious ass and choose to not dress in a suit suddenly means I am of less value that the pretentious ass who barely knows how to start visual studio.. By the way wearing hats in the USA used to be the only way to go. Travel back in time to the old west and days following shortly after it, If you didn't wear a hat you were most likely looked at strangely. So what almighty council decided it should stop being that way? or that it should have been that way to start with? on and on and on......

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.

                                    Why would you care what others wear? Unless it's a ballpark style beer hat with Jack Daniels on one side and Coke on the other I don't see how this could possibly affect you. If he's willing to share, the beer hat shouldn't bother you either. Mark this down as something no human should ever care about.

                                      Is it acceptable to wear a hat inside on "Casual Friday"... Not that I want to.

                                      Wearing my Yankees hat and Hawaiian shirt as I type. (No I’m not a Yankees fan, just like the way it looks and it was clean.) ;P

                                      It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                        That pisses me off to no end. Do I wear a at at work? no I rarely wear a hat at all. But the issue stands at this, who the hell are you(generally speaking, not directed at the OP) to tell me that a hat is rude? Who was the almighty stand-in for God that said wearing hats was a rude thing to do? The same person that says a beard is unacceptable(no I don't have one, nor want one) or the same person that thinks a 900 dollar suit means I am more professional than the guy wearing jeans. My current job is jeans by the way, I am not a customer facing person at all, my "customers" and end users of my software are employees of the company. I get sooooo sick and tired of the PC bulls**t that goes on like this. Because I am not a pretentious ass and choose to not dress in a suit suddenly means I am of less value that the pretentious ass who barely knows how to start visual studio.. By the way wearing hats in the USA used to be the only way to go. Travel back in time to the old west and days following shortly after it, If you didn't wear a hat you were most likely looked at strangely. So what almighty council decided it should stop being that way? or that it should have been that way to start with? on and on and on......

                                          I'm really not. I will admit to being an Ahole, I will admit to being an opinionated ahole even.but I am not a pretentious ass. I am what I am and if people don't like it, tough S**t :-D and no that attitude has not always done me well but I yam what I yam.
