There is no conversation you need to have while stuffing your face. Is your head going to get cold in a heated restaurant? People see you and think inconsiderate, jerk, idiot, douchbag all rolled into one. I don’t care if it’s the North, South or the freakin’ cayman islands on the last day of vacation…it’s RUDE and idiotic!!!! Please get a clue…such a Dallas cliche

Interesting. I wore my urban sombrero to CRD and didn’t have any trouble whatsoever.

I think fun hats such as yarmulkes, turbans, monk hoods, crowns, zucchetti, skufias, burqa, and anything with a propeller on it are off limits to Ms. Manners. It’s a Bobby rule!

Those aren’t hats, Reid.

On a more serious note, the foregoing post leaves me with a few provocative thoughts:

Does the unmannerliness of men wearing hats in restaurants extend to Hasidic Jews? And wouldn’t we be therefore banishing these Orthodox religious to the breadth of kosher ourdoor eateries here in Dallas?

Moreover, it is impolite to have an at-table conversation with your meal companions audible to others within such restaurant? (And what about the assessment of manners of the eavesdroppers to such conversations?)

Inquiring minds want to know.

Even a ballcap that says “75219″ was rejected?? Golllllyyyy.

I got a new ballcap over the weekend which was welcomed at Mama’s Daughter’s Diner: F.(emale) B.(ody) I.(nspector)

No ball caps?? No cell phones?? What is going on here people??? The return of manners??? It is impolite to wear a cap or hat in a restaurant. Gentlemen take them off. As for cell phones..can’t you go one hour without it? It’s rude to make other people listen to your conversation. We’re captive and we don’t care about you or your life.

Sounds great. I think making laws about cell phones are stupid, but if a restaurant wants to etablish a little class and make a policy against cell phones and ball caps…..more power to em! I’d welcome a place that didn’t try to look like an Abercrombie catalog.

MNS – Wow, you and your friends were able to use your cell phones during your meal without interference from the waitstaff? Aren’t you special. Your fellow R&D patrons – you know, the ones who were staring at you? – must have felt so honored to be in the presence of three people who clearly are so busy and rich that they can’t put down their phones for even one hour on a Sunday afternoon. Or maybe they were just amazed at your lack of awareness of your own douchebaggery.
