Yeah, it harkens back to the days when hats had a more practical purpose. It was considered disrespectful and unhygienic to bring all the soot and grime from the workday to the dinner table.

As hats became more of a fashionable item, it's understandable that opinions on the matter vary now.

Personally, in a humid climate like mine, hats get sweaty fast and so I still consider it kind of dirty. Probably has a little to do with why I take mine off at the table, in addition to just being raised that way.

Sometimes weird etiquette rules actually serve a practical purpose or at least did so originally. What's the logic behind removing one's hat at the table?

I never wear hats so I have no dog in this fight, but I am curious. Seems kind of arbitrary

I think it started because of farmers and field hands and such . Folks who labor outside. They wear hats for protection. Those hats get dirty and sweaty and disgusting. You don't want that shit at the table when you're eating.

That and probably something to do with hiding from God in Church too or some sort of related nonsense.

Durd seems to be on the right track here.

It’s really interesting if look back at the history of common customs or phrases. Most of us go our whole lives doing / saying all these things and never know the reason why.

Bammer? Are you sure you're talking about the right guy?

Even in “liberal ass” Seattle, I go to a sporting event and I don’t really notice people sitting or keeping their hats on during the anthem.

Snatch where in the world are you getting this? Durd is absolutely correct here.
