wearing hats in class

This “Because society says so” is nonsense. As long as the hat isn’t distracting (large and too many decorations) and doesn’t block anyone’s view, then why should it matter? If the professor can say no hats, why couldn’t he say no open-toe shoes? No sweats? No gymwear? No jewelry?

I can only hope that professors did say the same for what you mentioned! But let’s not go on with this circle argument. Stick to the original topic…</p>

The reason why people wear hats:</p>

<p>1) To get away with not doing their hair or when they have a bad hair day
2) Because they want to.</p>

<p>What’s so bad about someone wearing a hat in the building because they want to?

They can wear a hat all they want inside a building, but a hat within a classroom setting is just out of place and rude.</p>

Who cares if society thinks it’s “polite” or shows “good manners”.

Obviously you do not, but others do. Did you really have to ask?</p>

@happycowlover

All the examples you’ve given have a good meaning behind it being inpolite:</p>

<p>When you burp, people can smell it if they’re close to you, physical contact is a way to show friendliness and approachability, you can put dirt on a table if you put you shoes on it. What argument does “you shouldn’t wear a hat inside” has? If you’re bothered by someone wearing a hat inside, you need a hobby. NOW.

I don’t see how hobbies have anything to do with this. </p>

We are no longer in medieval times, not everyone’s in the military, and I don’t think anyone’s nobility in America. Back then, the tradition held meaning. Now, it’s an excuse for the uptight to nag.

People may be “uptight” for suggesting you lose the hat, but you are just as easily stubborn for not doing so as a result of the weak reasons you gave. Ignorance and ego is no excuse for being rude.</p>
