Wearing a baseball cap backwards

[Fanta Grape]

Seriously? People still do it? That totally baffles me. I thought everyone stopped when they were ten years old. Yet I keep seeing people wear their hat sideways and backwards with board shorts and singlets and those huge impractical sunglasses. Really?

they totes look gangsta

Meh, baseball caps backwards don't look any more stupid than baseball caps in general look on the people who wear them. Sideways and tilted crap where its barely resting on their head at all do look especially stupid though.

I hate wearing baseball caps. I wear fedoras every day of the week.

It depends for me. If I just want to wear a hat so I don't have to worry about my hair, I might wear it backwards. Sometimes I don't wear it backwards. It really just depends on my mood.

That would be one time I wouldn't wear my hat backwards. But hey, that's just me being crazy.

Nice.

Personally my complaint isn't with the people who wear their caps backwards, my personal gripe is with the people who wear caps on the top of their head i.e. resting on top of the head such that the area under the hat is void space.

Where I'm from (at the very least) the people who have this look going on are invariably African or Asian.

YOU'RE MAKING IT REALLY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO NOT BE RACIST.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH-

Seriously though, the man needs to just stop for a moment and seriously reconsider how he's spending his time on Earth.

 

[UnmotivatedSlacker]

It's just a hat. I don't really care how people wear them.

 

[Drakmeire]

I think it's useful. if you see anyone who dresses like that, you know they they are too dumb to be allowed to reproduce, so avoid sleeping with them at all costs for the betterment of humanity

There are a few justifiable reasons to wear a cap with a directional brim backwards (I'd say baseball caps, but most of the ones I've worn are actually patrol caps... fuck baseball, our national pastime is actually war).
1) I'm traveling up a hill, and I need to look up further than the brim allows. I'll turn it around while I climb the hill, then put it back to block wind/rain/sun once I'm on flat ground again.
2) Underneath a helmet to keep rain from going down the back of my shirt while laying in the mud with a rifle. Seriously, it works.

...and that's about it. To anyone who wears a brimmed cap for fashion: fuck fashion. Get your priorities straight, poser.

I don't find that NEARLY as annoying as this newer form of douchebaggery

 

[sneakypenguin]

It looks good in some cases to wear it backwards.

 

[Thaluikhain]

There are legitimate reasons for wearing a cap backwards.

...

Ok, this one time in an episode of Stargate, Colonel O'Neil had to turn his hat round backwards, because he was using a sniper rifle with a big scope.

I consider the day you first wear a baseball cap to actually block sunlight a vital step of growing into an adult.

 

[socialmenace42]

Hells yeah I wear my cap backwards, I'm a Pokemon trainer!

O.T. yeah, I honestly don't feel that strongly about this. I recall a couple of years ago watching an English politician being crticised openly for wearling a baseball cap and I just thought 'my god this is news?!?' So personally It's not a look I go for but if anyone else wants to indulge in looking like a 'too-cool-for-school' teenager, well who cares...

 

[annilator666]

i only wear my hat backwards when ive got something like a paintball mask or welding helmet on otherwise no its on straight and normal

 

[WolfEdge]

But... but how will I let people know I'm in a Pokemon battle if I don't turn my hat backwards? It's critical!

I hate baseball caps. I wear fedoras every day of the week.

Man I would too, but I feel like I'd be under-dressed all the time. Fedoras are for CLASSY people, which I am not.

Two things:

1. Epic Derpy Hooves avvie.

2. All you gotta do is feel like you should be wearing it. Other people will feel the radiance of your confidence and bow down to you!

What in the world is that? Why would you ever do that?

That's half a cap... And it's not even being used right... That's like... Completely useless in every way...
