I think people over the age of 18 shouldn't wear baseball caps. However, I bought one last weekend at a spring training game, when it was 95 degrees, to save my scalp from being burnt. But everyday wear, no way.

:confused:
Why should there be an age limit?

Oh, that's just my opinion. I think wearing a ball cap makes you look like a kid. If you are a kid, it suits you. If you're 30, it makes you look 16.

For me at least, it depends on the hat. Some hats I have look / feel better being worn backwards, and some forwards. And I can invision myself wearing them the rest of my life.

I wear one when my hair is all messed up and I don't want to deal with it... I usually wear it backwards because it looks better on me.

What if I'd rather look 16 than 30? :p

I wear hats a few times a week.. Gotta support the team(s).

I will flip it around sometimes, but usually it is on straight.

i used to wear them religiously when i was a little kid. when i got older i realized they were a clear social symbol for "douche" and i stopped wearing them.

yes i wear a hat. we call them hats here. plain and simple, a hat is a hat. unless it is a toque or some other specialty hat.

i hardly ever wear one backwards. that denotes douche for sure.

for the record, nerds always look weird in hats. geeks can rock a hat fairly decently, but they never look right on nerds.

When I used to run cross country and I had longer hair, I wore my hat backwards. Why you ask? Well since I had long hair, I preferred my hair to stay out of my face when I ran. So I wore a hat. Well while running, I would get sweaty. Wearing my hat normally blocks attempts by me to wipe my sweat on my shirt. To fix this predicament, I would wear my hat backwards.

Yeah sometimes. I wear it backwards and forwards. Backwards just cause, no reason.

Me too and I'm 53.

Screw the "Age Limit"! ;)

But NEVER back-wards unless it's getting temporarily in the way when I'm doing something close up. As soon as thats do though it gets turned back around.

And as far as the BALD thing goes, hell that one of the main reasons I WEAR THE DAMN THING. To cover up the curse my Dad dropped on my ass! ;)

I wear a hat sometimes when my hair is long and I don't want to mess with it or when its bright out. I never really wear it backwards.

I think the latest style of wearing a hat thats too big and covers up your ears looks stupid, even more so than the crooked style.

Yes. Sometimes I wear it forwards, sometimes I wear it backwards, and sometimes even forwards maybe an inch or so off center. Why do I sometimes wear it backwards? Sometimes for the "style" sometimes because it's practical (i.e. if I'm running and I don't want the wind to take it). If you don't like that I sometimes wear it backwards or slightly off center because you think that style is lame, that's fine, I personally don't care what you have to say about it, but it happens.
