Why the hell would Lurch use a clean plate each time through? For that matter, what's up with those glass "tents" over the buffet? Now he has to reach all the way underneath. And why is there a separate spoon for each dish...or even spoons at all...he should just lick off his fork, then take it back up to the buffet and load up with whatever else he wants.
Who put this giant fucking hat over the buffet?! |

This probably wasn't the intent, but I am now extremely fucking hungry. I need some fried rice and egg rolls, stat.

No, established in a time where people gave a shit what others thought...where they were self aware...before everyone starting thinking the world revolved around them.
Wearing a hat in Chili's is representative of a society in decline. This is how Rome fell, too. |

Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Since the practice of removing hats, meant as a sign of respect, predates most concepts of modern hygiene, what does one have to do with the other?

Removing your hat when you walk into someone's house is respect. Removing it when eating with other people is cleanliness. |

May I point out that Lurch is the fine fellow who, by his own admission, dines at fast food establishments ten or twelve times a week? So his concept of a restaurant and the norms associated therewith may naturally diverge from the mean.

Doubly nominated.
Interesting that you took twice s many words nominating a Noe post as Noe used in the original post. That has to be some kind of record. |

When do we get the part where women should be eating topless?
Seriously, I am guilty of not taking off my hat while dining, sometimes, but I do agree that it is polite.
On a related note, I tried something with the family at Thanksgiving a few years back: if one of the women at the table stood up, the men should stand up out of respect. It did not last long. I was trying to make a point. My mom has always done an enormous job of serving everyone. I wanted her to realize how often she got up to serve other people, but to also make everyone realize how much she was doing. I guess the point was made quickly, but little changed after that.

You should stand up anytime a lady leaves or arrives the table. You should stand up if a man is arriving for the first time or is leaving and will not return. |

Which is interesting as hair restraints would seem to lend themselves to cleanliness more than free and unfettered hair. At least the food handling folk think so. |

So do my pants, but if I take those off at Chili's, apparently that makes me a deviant. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden.

A perfectly fair point. My hat helps keep the sticky stuff on the underside of the playscape from getting in my hair. Chili's it ain't. |

The purpose of a hair net is to keep your hair out of other peoples' food. The purpose of a hat is to keep things you don't want on your head and face from being on your head and face, be that rain, snow, dirt, debris, leaves, pollen, tree sap or bat shit. I'm not sure why you're so ready to drag it across your dinner plate simply because you can. |

I'm not ready to do anything, and I remove my hat in just about all indoor settings, so go fuck your high horse. But it seems that disturbing the hair under the hat would be just as if not more unsanitary as leaving the hat on. Especially since 90% of the hats you're talking about in 2010 are baseball caps (except maybe during February in houston, when everyone thinks they're a cowboy.) And even then, the purpose of those chapeaus is not to keep filth out of hair. |

Good lord... does your hat look like this? I use my cap for the purposes of keep the sun out of my eyes and/or covering the catastrophe that is my head on the weekends. I agree that it is polite and appropriate to remove one's hat at the table, but I have never considered it to be a sanitary issue. Though, in fairness, I clearly don't walk through the same hellstorm of flying shit that you do. Also, if you're dragging your hat across your plate, you're doing it wrong. |
