you can leave your hat on

scribble tags: ,

HatBouncer please take your hat off

Wendy:  Can I put it back on when I get inside?

Bouncer:  No,  it’s for the CCTV

Sulkily I took off my hat,  walked into the bar,  put my hat back on…  …several other people in our party wore my hat during the course of the evening,  its a very sociable hat…

    I got asked to take off my hoody when I went life drawing recently at a bar in central Sydney (go figure!).

    I gave the bouncer a suitably grim stare (and probably just reinforced his opinion of guys in hoodies) and complied.

    But I’m glad that you gave the people (not) checking the cctv some work to do by sharing the hat about.

    But surely in life drawing you’re going to be asked to take off much more than just your hoody?
    Sx

    Hat discrimination is alive and well in Reading.
    I was asked to remove my hat in a pub in town. i thought by waring it
    i was adding to the decorum. Sadly not!

    As long as nobody caught any sociable diseases I suppose that’s ok.

    this hat seems to be a bit of a troublemaker . . .my kind of hat.

    Dan, I have to concur with Miss Scarlet that still life drawing does indeed require the removal of the hoody.

    Mary, quite right, your kind of hat and particulalrly useful for taming lions.

    Name required, the hat has been vaccinated against all green-card violating communicable diseases, this was necessary for my alien residency in the US

    Stephen, Reading does appear to be championing a movement in anti-hat prejudices, we must stand-up, or doff, for our rights.
