Wearing a baseball cap backwards

[flim.geek.chic]

I have absolutely no problem with it. If it's not my head, it's not my buisness.

 

[Chatato]

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

"When wearing a Baseball cap, a bro may position the brim at either 12 or 6 o'clock. All other angles are reserved for rappers and the handicapped"

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.

This. Sometimes there can be legitimate reasons, and these are two great examples. Plus, sometimes the webbing inside of a kevlar just sucks and it's nice to have a little extra padding. Also helps to be able to keep track of it on jumps when you've got 120lbs in-between you and your pockets.

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

Likewise, though hate is probably too strong a word.
If we're free to express personal taste through the wearing of a stylish hat, others should be free to do the same with headgear to their taste.

But I still think it looks daft.

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

Watching sports, by the look of it.

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

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...

Maybe he's trying to catch and carry a small quantity of rainwater.

Damn, ninja'd.

Yeah, I generally don't wear hats, but I find it irritating when people wear hats incorrectly.

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!

1. It is my pride and joy, and I love it so.

2. Maybe I could work my way up to it, start out small like and build my confidence. I could start with a mean pair of boxer-shorts, something snarky and sarcastic to bring out my biting wit. Hopefully, the effect will sort of snowball; I'll bust out the ol' aviators, get a nice tribal tat that you can just barely see underneath the sleeves of my shirt. Then, it's all just a matter of getting my hands on a trench-coat and a Tommy gun. I'll be the talk of the town!

What were we talking about again?

Meh, I worded it wrong I'll go fix it now.

There's a few practical applications to a backwards cap. Here's some of my reasons...

1. (Personal) I have no goddamned depth perception, and I sometimes tend to slam into doors. A forwards cap pops off and draws more attention as I try to get it. Backwards gives more cushioning to the impact spot.
2. More aerodynamic. This is probably more notable on rollercoasters, you wear that forwards, you're gonna lose it.
3. More comfortable, well this is just personal opinion.
4. More peripheral, sometimes gotta see if anything's going on above you.

As for the sun argument, yes you can flip that thing right around, though this is nearly negligent as where I live has far less pollution than most major cities.

And yes... I gotta agree, this has grown from a tendency of watching Pokemon. The interest in the series has waned, how I wear my hat has not. A backwards cap pretty much means nothing these days, just an area of comfort.

Now that freaking popped visor thing? That deserves a razing-the-earth.

 

[BlueMage]

It's not as bad as wearing it side-on or lopsided. Seriously, that's grounds for the biggest cock-punch of all eternity to ensure you can never breed.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh...that is just PRECIOUS.

That's it, you're on the right track. Although Tommy guns are a little outta date. Try a silenced Desert Eagle.

I would, but a d'eagle would disintegrate my measly chicken-wing arms, like a nauseated fat man going through a roll of two-ply.

...silenced... desert eagle.. Whyyyy would you DO THAT?!?

So you can hear their screams.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

Who the fuck wears hats?

 

[Ambi]

Keeping your hair in place in the same manner as a headband, keeping your head warm or protecting your scalp without limiting your scope of vision... I don't find it attractive, but having it on backwards isn't entirely impractical. Back in the day my brother cut the brim off entirely so there was no backwards, haha.

Or are you asking because it's not as fashionable as it used to be?

But this guy, lolololol

... yeah I laughed a good couple minutes at that, well done.

 

[Kortney]

It's too nineties for my liking.

 

[MisguidedTerran]

You'd hear everyone else's screams for sure, not sure someone getting shot by a deagle is gonna have much of a reaction other than "BLEARGH GURGLE!"

...unless you shot the toe...

My point was trying to silence a loud attention caller is kinda hard. More so when it makes the thing far more unwieldy.

But hey, whatever floats your boat. I gotta agree with mister tommy gun. That thing has a great profile, great bullet size, and a drum magazine meaning fewer jams? I'm sure I can jab some italian in my veins, get me in the mob, man!
