Um, Miss Manners sez if you don't like the way others eat,
don't watch them. Also, it is considered a far worse gaffe
to point out another's lack of politesse.

Back to social lubricant school for you. I'm sure you live
in a world *full* of people who make you uncomfortable.

Thanks, a very useful characterization of politesse.

You really are too dense to understand even the first level of humor and
irony, correspond with any alacrity or wit, or even realize how rude,
impolite and embarrassing your post are to people with a normal level of
civilization.
You are not even the most basic of trolls, capable of engaging interest
or stimulating spirited discourse, but merely someone that should
shunned or hushed like a recalcitrant child.

Is that plain enough for you, self defined, rude arsehole. FOAD

You're so unfunny here it can't possibly be the same person.

Why would you think I would be "funny" in a newsgroup? Part of my job is human

No, he is not sufficiently talented or sophisticated in his humor to
sustain his self aggrandizing statement of "Part of my job is human

He is in fact too stupid to realize how dumb he is :-)

He is also on the kill list.

manners, breeding nor any idea of how to behave in polite society.

Thats because your mother never taught you any manners. BG

Manners are intended to help keep people from inconveniencing
one another. Why is it unmannerly for a man to wear a hat while
eating? I am not arguing that wearing a hat indoors is considered
bad manners, but why?

Interesting question, Stan. I wonder if it has any basis in a hat
being worn as protection from the elements -- wind and/or rain on one's
coiffure. (Yeah, I know, umbrellas are for keeping the rain off your
head, too.) When you're inside, you no longer need that protection
(barring faulty plumbing upstairs) so you remove your hat.

I think women's headcovering has always been regarded differently -- a
hat may well be part of the ensemble, part of the costume, and as such
is not removed when indoors (usually).

Are men now considering their hats to be part of their costume rather
than protection from crappy weather? Or is it just a general rebellion
-- "nobody's gonna tell ME what to do, by God!"? I'll vote for the
latter.

Where's Miss Manners when you need her?

I am not sure. Hats really are not that common, at least in my circle
of acquaintances, for men or women.
