Where or why did it become manners to take a hat off in the first place? I was brought up that way and I believe in manners but I just can't figure the logic.

Carolyn Hester wrote a song about that...I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for bringing this up. It's nice to see good manners aren't dead.

I make my family put on shirts and remove hats. Even camping at the lake. They know if they sit down to eat without a shirt or with a hat, the food comes off the table.

I agree! Hats / caps in restaurants drive me nuts! Maybe I AM just too old fashioned (my kid's words, not mine!)

When I was growing up I was taught about manners, courtesey, etiquette and so on.I have always thought these things were pretty well accepted.

It seems I was wrong.People just aren't as mannerly as they used to be. My biggest peeve is wearing caps or hats inapropriatly. I see young people, grownups, elderly wearing hats indoors, in eating establishments, to the table at home, in school,and even at funerals.

When was the last time you saw someone remove his cap in the presence of a Lady? It should be automatic.

Just having manners is not going to save our nation, change social mores, or make us sissies.
