Hell, Navy, you should know better than that! Wear your cover into a Fighter O'Club and it will cost you...

Everyone slams down their beer and orders a double single malt whenever some fool commits that egregious sin

Oh I know, it's my one rebellion.  Wearing a cover in doors and forgetting your challenge coin are two sins I learned early to avoid

Once you hit age 30 or become a father, hats should face forward, have curved brims and not be worn out socially unless you have come immediately from an outdoor sporting event (i.e. playing golf or attending a ballgame). If you're 30+ and/or a father, a backwards hat or a flat-brimmed hat tells the world that you're trying to remain cool even though you're not. Wearing a hat to a social engagement might as well come with a shirt that reads "I'M BALDING." Visors are never acceptable unless you're a female golfer.

It's really that simple.

I agree with this, but I'll occasionally flip my brim around backwards, on a temporary basis, if I need to get some sun on my forehead and face. Living in Wisconsin, our opportunities for sun are limited.

Eh, you have your plan I have mine.  I will say, the only reason my hat ends up backwards is because my brims are very curved and my AO Aviators don't fit under the brim.  As soon as the sunglasses are off, the hat swings around.

At the end of the day, whatever a person's style, that's their style probably shouldn't judge a book by the cover.  I dress pretty down unless I'm in a professional setting or some place that requires "nice attire" cause it's what I like, don't care what other people think(much to my wife's chagrin).

Baseball caps for me are usually for days where I don't work and I don't have time for a shower.  E.g. Going to a kids game and leaving at 7:00 AM or whatever on a Saturday and I wake up late.  Never wear a cap backwards, in my opinion. 

But once a cap goes on, it is meant to stay on, in-door or out.  I really dislike taking a cap off after it has been on for a while.

Wearing hats backwards is as acceptable as wearing a basketball jersey or ketchup on a hot dog.  it needs to stop after you hit 12 years old*.

*doesn't apply to black dudes.  except for the ketchup thing.  no man of any race, color or creed should put ketchup on a hot dog.

What about cheese on my dog?

Pretty much my stance

If it can't rain on your head (i.e. you are indoors), take it off.
If it's a Yankees hat, burn it.
If the sun's in your eyes, wear it forward (after all that is what it was created for).
Otherwise, wear it however you like.

Go to the Wiener Circle on Clark in Chicago.  You'll find it's perfectly acceptable for cheese. You should try their chocolate shake while you're there. It'll really stay with you.

I have a big green foam Marvin the Martian helmet which I got from Six Flags when I was little. Do I have to take that off indoors?

What's wrong with ketchup on a hot dog?  If I'm truly going to enjoy some ground up entrails and filler packed into some sort of synthetic casing, you better be damn sure I want some ketchup on that.

 real men only put ketchup/catsup on the ole tube steak ONLY if ya add HOT sauce to it-now that's a HOT dog-heyna? ;D

ok, if i had a daughter, say-18-21 years old and she comes home with a dude wearing a baseball cap backwards.  i'm showing him my knife collection and then taking him out hunting or trap and skeet or something.  disclaimer-it's ok to wear it backward while shooting-THAT"S IT !!! wait,  or if you are the catcher or while riding open air(boat or car or cycle or atv'ing) without helmits-then it's cool ;)

What if I have a sunburn on the back of my neck and the sun is behind me?  Is it okay then?  If I'm eating a brat with bbq sauce on it, still ok? 

What if I'm wearing a scarf in side the BC?  Can the hat be backwords?  Or if I'm a Hollywood director on set?

I have a 20 year old daughter.   If she brought home a guy wearing his hat backward....meh.   I trust her and her judgment.

This.  And please don't wear them in my house.  Legs Jr actually tried wearing one at the dinner table a few months back.  God, I've become an angry old man.
