Casual Friday Acceptability

is it affecting the way you or anyone else is doing their job?
If it's something like these hats it could be, Clickety[^] Click[^].

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.

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.
It's Casual Friday, not Bad-Form Friday, what a blighter.

Wearing a hat whilst eating is just plain rude.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.

I live in the US and I consider wearing a hat indoors to be wrong. Heck, I make my son remove his hat in the house! Drives him crazy (hmm, perhaps that's part of the fun?).

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......

Maybe in the outer ends they allowed hats inside but I am qutie certain that indoors it has always been unacceptable to wear your hat... Unless your like a king or something and sporting around your kicking crown ;P I only believe it is rude because my grandmother taught me that. Odly my dad (her son) never pushed that type of thing... but then again he was never big on manors :laugh:

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.
There has to remain a certain professionalism at a place of work. Lets go the extreme... A new intern girl (heck it could be a guy too) wears a T-Shirt that says Insert &%^$ here with an arrow pointing up.... Well. Not kewl and not professional. Granted that is an extreme. But the idea remains the same. If something is not considered appropriate or profesional you should not do it in the place of work. Hats indoors have always had a "juvinille" look and feel. But, that IMO. I wouldn't do it, as I said I think it is wrong. Am I gonna tell him. No. Cause I don't really care much what other people wear or do. However, if I had to actually interact with the guy (say we were on the same team or something), I have no respect for him so it would affect the project.

To each their own. I guess I don't worry about wearing a hat in my own house to be a big deal. I could care less if my son does either. I try not to sweat the small stuff if I can.

Can't wait until the teleworking kicks in. Then on casual Fridays I'll be a descamisado sans cullotes.

As long as the hat is appropriate to your clothes, why not? Although there are some circumstances when wearing a hat is inappropriate (inside a church, for instance) there is no level of formality where a hat is inappropriate. Although I have a thing against baseball caps: caps are not hats. How about a nice boater, or a straw fedora?

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.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I don't think we would get along very well, then. :~

I hate wearing hats indoors. I invariably bang my head into something, sooner or later.

Now that's the ticket! Tell'em how you really feel. :-D Drugs, murder, sickness, disease, death vs. wearing a hat indoors. Silly actually.
