there is alot of people that take it off. I thought that more people left it on. O well am still leaveing mind on but hey to each there own. But i will take it off at other peoples houses unless there wearing one.

 

I don't take my hat off when I go in a building but if I'm at a sitdown restuarant, I take it off when I go to sitdown. I do it more as a show because I see so many who don't take them off. I put it back on when I get up to leave.

 

Well, I take my hat off when I walk into someone's house. I take my hat off when I eat, whether I am at home, or anywhere else.

When I was a kid, and we went to my grandparents' house, if I wore my hat for any length of time, my granddad asked me if my head was cold. Dad would make a jesture for me to take off my hat.

 

I don't wear hats, but I do consider it proper to remove it when indoors. Outside at a picnic is fine. But Didn't Tom Jones say "You can leave your hat on"? Or was it leave a light on? I don't remember.

 

Hat off. My grandma always told me to take my hat off.

 

I always take mine off when I am inside.

 

I always left mine on inside i really dont see a big deal. But my dad never took his hat off for anything. so i guess it on in how you are rised.

 

It's an old English custom where hats are tipped, (or doffed) slightly lifting the hat off your forehead, when meeting a lady (remove your hat if you stop to talk), or to "say" to anyone, male or female – thank you, excuse me, hello, goodbye, you’re welcome or how do you do.

Tipping of the hat is a conventional gesture of politeness. This hat tipping custom has the same origin as military saluting, which came from the raising of medieval Knights face visors to show friendliness.

Hats are worn less now, but at the turn of the 20th century, all adults wore hats whenever they left the house. It was a matter of good personal hygiene, since hats were a protection from industrial dirt.

Hats are removed when inside, except for places that are akin to public streets, like lobbies, corridors, and crowded elevators (non-residential). In a public building (where there are no apartments) the elevator is considered a public area.

You may choose to remove your hat in a public elevator, but in the presence of a lady your hat must be removed.

A gentleman takes off his hat and holds it in his hand when a lady enters the elevator in any building that can be classified as a dwelling such as an apartment house or hotel. He puts it on again in the corridor.

It's therefore become a mark of respect to take them off during a meal, funerals, church service, when you greet someone in the street, or any other occasion when you want to signify that you respect the person. That's where the term, "I take my hat off to you" originated.




So based on this customs origin it would be possible to start a custom for women to have to doffer their blowse and bra when talking to a man ,so he can see if the goods are reall of just a decoy ...After all it would just be plain ,and simple good manners :wink:

 

Decoy Huh, is that cuz you have been fooled in the men's bathroom with fakes????? Maybe you should check the adams apple first. :lol:
