It's not like he was wearing his sunglasses indoors at night. Now that is the one that looks absolutely stupid to me.

Even if you're Jack Nicholson and you are wearing them because you're stoned out of your mind and in the front row of a Laker game thats on national TV? :laugh2:

My Dallas Cowboys cap is part of who I am. I'm identified with it so much that it's become famous among my circle of friends and acquaintances. You will rarely see me without my cap on although there are a few exceptions. I don't wear hats to church and formal events such as college graduations. But do I wear it inside a restaurant? Sure do.

I wear caps inside all of the time although I know I shouldn't...

Everyone knows a doo rag is the only appropriate indoor head covering...

If you go to a 5 star restaurant and wear a hat, well a crappy hat like a cap it is just uncouth. I guess you could also go to a funeral in your ski outfit or just a thong, be ok too huh.

I doubt his wife and her girlfriends are slugging down cosmopolitans at a 5-star restaurant.

I keep my cap on during trips to the grocery store or McDonald's, but if it's a sit down restaurant with a waiter or waitress, or if I'm a guest in someone's home, off it goes.

When were you ever a guest in someone's home?

Sometimes your imagination runs a bit too rampant... :rolleyes:

Update - fiancee? Yes. Ball cap? Forwards.
Forwards tells us he was at least trying to lay low.

If it's a nice place, wearing a cap is a bit toolish, but not that much so. It's fairly common these days, and it certainly doesn't harm anyone. It's a bit superficial to even be concerned about something so irrelevent...but it's all in good fun.

I'm not sure what the cut-off would be. A middle of the road place that has waitresses? I know if you walk into Mi Cosina in Highland Park on a Friday or Saturday evening, there will still be 7-8 (or more) people with caps on. And many of these guys are as comfortable in a tux as they are in jeans.

Something tells me that Romo was not eating at the Olive Garden. Look at the photo of him proposing. Do you see him wearing a cap when he is on his knee proposing to Candice?

If you went a very fancy restaurant and drop say 200 bucks on an entree, you wear a baseball cap to it? Logically the most stringent mores still hold in those situations.

Nice restaurant? Take the damn cap off. Those "silly etiquette rules" are what prevent middle-aged fat men from wearing thong bikinis in the middle of the mall. In other words, they may be arbitrary rules, but people need to abide by them.

Etiquette will pop up in the strangest places. Do not believe for a second it doesn't factor into interpersonal networking, which can take you places you would not have access to otherwise.

Oh, I'm fully aware that it does, but that's because people are stupid and have to whine about something, so they worry about the most asinine and unimportant things.

One gives people nightmares, the other does nothing except to stuck up whiners who think they're better than others. Not even close to the same thing.

People advocating basic manners = stuck up whining? Interesting.

Its an extra piece of attire. I can chose to be offended by a tie or a watch if I want, it doesnt make it right.
