You shouldn’t be wearing a hat inside anyway.
That, like opening doors for women or pulling their chair out for them, has not been taught in near 40 years.

Couldn’t agree more. But don’t trying saying that to all the farmers and truckers dining at your local Cracker Barrel or McDonalds. Do it and you’d be lucky to escape with your person fully intact.
I was listening to a friend talk to his junior high science teacher. The teacher was in his eighties. He said he’d gone to visit the school, and commented on how many men wore their caps indoors. I think he’d have stroked out if he found out about illegitimacy rate of the kids.
Agreed. And the damn bill ought to point forward, no matter where you are wearing it.
Last time I was in a restaurant, I saw at least a half a dozen guys with their hats on, seated at tables.
Men taking their hats off just because they are indoors, ain't going to happen in rural Florida where I live.
Times and generations have changed this old habit.
While a vast majority of men who wear hats indoors are just boorish yahoos, there are any number of reasons to wear a hat indoors which are perfectly valid. Two that quickly come to mind are:
1) Religious reasons. Orthodox Jews (like my late f-i-l) always cover their heads indoors and out. In his case, he chose a regular baseball cap to a yarmulke.
2) Medical reasons. Perhaps the man has a rather ugly looking scar on his head from surgery and wishes, for reasons of modesty and good taste, to hide it from the public.
