Is it still considered rude to wear a hat at the table while eating with friends or family?

[@NiftyWhite it should be, but every restaurant i've been in has people wearing hats.

Doesn’t make it less rude. Dining is usually a social event. it’s rude because hats shut down communication at the table.When your head is down eating there’s limited eye contact and communicates that the person you are dining with can not be bothered to connect even though you dine at the same table. Kind of like “i’m here but i don’t wanna talk to you.” @DuchessOfMapleSyrup

@NiftyWhite i get it. to clarify, i meant that it isn't considered rude by today's low standaRDS. I STILL THINK PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE OFF THEIR HATS.

i tried once to eat with a hat on. felt wrong. even more odd that eating with a coat on indoors @DuchessOfMapleSyrup
