The whole backwards hat thing doesn't bother me at all. The backwards crooked thing, that's goofy. It doesn't "bother me" so much as I think it just plain looks stupid.
Never really gave it any thought till now.
The pants thing bugs me, and I tell kids to pull their pants up all the time. Once again, it's just stupid. I tell kids to get a haircut all the time, too. Can't stand to see a young man flicking the hair out of his eyes like a girl.
The hair flicking thing, I gotta admit, bothers me. :-)
"Hey, you kids! Get off of my lawn!" :-)

If anyone thinks I am not credible, or not intelligent because of it, that is your right.

Thank you, Tom.:-) No offense, Dave.:-)


No offense to anyone, but my biggest problem with baseball caps is the straight bill. I just can't stand it. How anyone can wear the bill of their cap completely straight is beyond me, but to each their own. I have to have my bill bent in a U-shape.

Around home most hats advertise tractors, trucks, or seed. In the fall the Ohio State caps will come out. When welding most wear a Kromer of the brightest loudest fabric they can find with a floppy bill and yes it is turned backward. otherwise unless riding something open such as a bike four wheeler or jeep a cap is worn traditonaly with a grease spot where the thumb and finger adjust the cap. gotta love a farming comunity. and the bill is bent and curved by the user for comfort. My everyday at work cap is hard yellow plastic with stickers and safety goggles.

I wear hats all the time and most of those times they are backwards. I only do it because I am so damn cool:-)

I wouldn't walk in to a job interview wearing one but that's the way I like to wear them. If I lose credibility because of it.....Oh well, I might shed a single tear:-)

I thought about it. I just don't care. Let's break it down based on my credibility meter:

Baseball Cap = +0
Backwards Baseball Cap = +0
Pants Down to Your Knees = -1 (safety issue)
Iggy Pop T-shirt = +1
Guitar Pick Necklace = +0 unless you're over 40 then -1
Misfits T-Shirt = +2
Ace Frehley Belt Buckle = +1
Cowboy Boots in the City = -1
Short Skirt = +3 on a woman/ -4 on a man
Blazer w/Leather Patches on the Elbows = -2
Blazer w/Leather Patches on the Elbows Worn w/Ramones T-Shirt = +2
Comb Over = -3
BeDazzled Denim Jacket = -3
Keep on Truckin' DayGlo T-Shirt = +4

Now there's a mental picture I didn't need. :-)

If I were smarter, I'd wear a helmet, but quite often ride my motorcycle with a ballcap on backwards so I can wear it when I get where I'm going, I can cover my blown out hair.

After re-reading my own post, I am thinking maybe people who wear their hats backwards might not have common sense.:-)

I don't really care if the person is under 20 or so. Past that you should know what the brim is for!! But in the end... I really don't care how you wear your hat!!
