Stop stealing my f$%king hat

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,166 ✭✭✭Beefy78


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    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.
