Stop stealing my f$%king hat

Grayson

I own loads of hats. everything from cowboy hats to fedora. I don't always wear them but I have them there in case I'm heading out.

The amount of people, especially women, who seem to think they can take it is amazing. Any pub or club I go into turns into an elaborate game of keeping the hat safe. It'll be swiped from a table or straight off my head.

I went to a pub last week and put the hat on the table. later that night when I was on my way back from the bar I saw a guy i work with wearing it. Someone was telling him how great it looked and he was telling them how some girl had given it to him. I got the hat back and then realised the rim was covered in sweat.

Please people, stop stealing my hats.

Unless you're one of the village people, or a 1920s Italian-American gangster, stop wearing hats.

Sorry about that Garth.

M'lady. I'll have you know it's a trilby not a fedora.

Or you could stop wearing hats which would benefit everyone....

the only men who can pull off hats are cowboys and famous people


I bought a hat in Rome on holiday because my head was burning, thought I was the dogs bollīx til I saw the holiday snaps.......

This ain't the 1930s. Unless you're in your middle sixties stop wearing hats.

Unless you're cold, never wear a hat.

Men in hats look like cnuts.

You have lice.

People who wear hats indoors are almost always massive twats.

You don't have a neckbeard as well do you?

Be thankful you don't wear glasses.

I wore a hat out a few times about four or five years ago. I think it is a nice look but isn't worth the hassle for the exact reason that the OP brings up. People wouldn't swipe any other item of clothing off of you but seem to think that they have carte blanche to take anything that you put on your head.

Happens every fricking time I go out! Drives me nuts as a lot of the time it's covering up a bad hair day.

For men it can be to hide a "no hair day". Girls can look verrry nice with hats.

Trilby hat....

The worldwide recognised calling card of the attention seeking ass hole.

Peaky blinders style arrangement of razor baldes should solve the problem

Might also be because I'm a shortarse so makes it easier to swipe.
So annoying though cos sometimes you don't want to spend an ages getting hair did, hat takes a second to put on, looks fab and hides a shocking barnet.

I can't offer a solution for people swiping your hats from a table. I see some potential flaws with the super glue remedy. But you can retrofit the hats which you did manage to retain with chinstraps. This will prevent them from being swiped straight off your head. And they will make you even more striking looking in the pub or club.

That's the reason I wear them. I'm bald. In the winter I wear beanies, in the summer I need different hats. they either keep my head warm or stop it burning. I started buying them after a trip abroad where my entire head turned dark red. I spent weeks moisturising my head after that.

Was in a hipster pub last week and the guy behind the bar actually had a neckbeard and a fedora.

Do hipsters do fedoras and neckbeards? I was always of the opinion neckbeards and fedoras were the domain of the MRAs.

World needs more hattage.

My excuse, no insulation on top and this country wavers between biting cold/blistering sun on an average day.

About the swiping, and it only seems to happen in this country...because people are surprised/jealous/amused, take your pick, that someone should dare to sport something different from the herd. 'Ay Jaysus I'll put yer man's hat on, shure I bet no-one ever has done that...He'll love it....It'll be great craic'.

Something which instantly makes you a figure of fun, like a hat, is naturally going to attract people who are drunk.

You know what you're getting at, you know the hat provides the perfect "in" to start a conversation with people, now it's backfiring, so stop wearing hats, you've been found out

bucketybuck

Hey man

Thats a nice hat!

For a CLOWN to wear!

To the circus!!!

RoboRat

Next time somebody robs your hat, just start laughing hysterically and when they ask, just tell them you like to rub your sweaty balls around the inside of the hat because you get so pissed off with people robbing them.

AnonoBoy

When people give out about people wearing hats I alwasy presume they mean fedoras.

I thought fedoras were the sole domain of 'Nice Guys' on dating sites.

An auld cap doesn't get counted as a 'hat' in my book.

I wear an auld cap or wooly hat a lot. Nobody ever steals them on me. Perhaps because of where I go out, perhaps because I'm a terribly intimidating individual (most likely the former reason).

Don't do it to attract attention, do it to keep the sun off or the warmth in.

I'm too long in the tooth to give a toss what other people think about my choice of clothes, head or foot wear.

The Backwards Man

What's wrong with wearing hats?

I wear a hat constantly whilst out of the house, the benefits are infinite. Looks good, keeps the sun out of me eyes, keeps me dry in the rain, warm in the cold, cool in he heat, hides my baldness, and stops my brains escaping.

When people ask what's wrong with the world today I know the answer.

Not enough of you are wearing hats.

Rough Sleeper

When my hair is in need of a chop I'll sometimes wear a beanie when I'm going out. If I'm dragged along to a commercial club there is an 80% chance that someone, almost inevitably a chick, will snatch it off my head at some point. Sometimes it's done in a flirty, "come and get it" kind of way but it's always enraging and a serious encroachment on my personal space.

I wonder how they'd feel if I snatched their necklace or bracelet and ran across the club laughing like a drunken goon.
