Why take off your hat? After all these years, I've never discussed this on here

[darthska]

Why do people ask this?

"Please rise and remove your hats."

Why? Why, why, why, why, WHAAAIIIII??!?!?

I did go through that little rebel stage where I'd refuse to take my hat off in church or court (people just glare at you in church; bailiffs tell you take it off or leave in court

), but I've still never gotten a clearcut answer.

I like people to take their shoes off in my house. Actually, I'm kind of a prick about it.

If you want to stay and clean the grass and mud off my floor tonight, cool. Otherwise, I've got a shoe station right by my door. See? That makes sense; there's a logical reason behind it. You might not share the same reasoning, but it's there.

But with hats, all I get is "It's a sign of respect."

How?!

"It's common courtesy."

Why? For what reason? It's courteous to take your shoes off in my house because I don't like the dirt from your shoes all over my spot. What's the courtesy in removing my damn hat?!

Discuss.

Yeah I've never gotten it either. Just some " do it to be respectful" crap.

Couple reasons:

1. Practical: a hat is meant to protect you from the elements. When you're inside, you're not protecting your head from anything.

2. Fashion piece: it's considered outdoor wear and is removed along with overcoats and gloves upon going inside.

2. Courtesy: men used to regularly wear hats to formal occasions, theaters, etc. Imagine sitting in a theater and every guy is rockin' a stove pipe hat. It was a courtesy to remove it.

I'd assume religious headwear is an exception.
