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:

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?

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?).
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.

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.

I can do that just fine with a hat on. :)

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......
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning. A crisis on your part does not constitute one on mine.
Now that's the ticket! Tell'em how you really feel. :-D Drugs, murder, sickness, disease, death vs. wearing a hat indoors. Silly actually.

Surely the point of casual days is to let people wear what they want? We don't have a casual Friday so no comment there.

Where I am I think it's more about extracting $5/head for the charity of the week for the right to wear denim pants. :rolleyes: I express my opinion by ignoring it and wearing the same sort of slacks I do the rest of the week.

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.

I think you might be in the minority on that opinion. But honestly this entire discussion about hats is baffling to me. Is it OK to wear a watch at work? What about glasses? If I walk with a cane am I unprofessional?

Again, if the shirt doesn't affect their ability to perform their job... NOBODY should care. If I need somebody to manage a database and the most qualified person has a mo-hawk and facial tattoos: they get the job.

If you are choosing not to respect somebody for what they choose to put on their head I'm glad I don't work with you. I do wish you the best of luck in getting that stick dislodged from your... :omg:

so you would allow your personal feelings about a hat damage the bottom line and end goals of the organization? maybe you just need more strength of character.

Maybe OP does not know that it is offending you - due to cultural differences or generation gap. A simple talk may resolve it. :)

:laugh: I once went to a very posh, high-class restaurant a few years ago and I did EVERYTHING wrong as far as etiquette. Elbows on the table, using the wrong silverware for my individual courses, left the napkin on the table, talking with my mouth full. You name it, I did it. You can dress me up but you can't take me out. Needless to say, I had a blast. :)
