Backwards baseball caps - sly cultural statements

I spent 8 hours in traffic school once, the irresponsible kid in front of me spent the entire 8 hours rotating his baseball cap on his head in time with the hand of the clock as if it was a sundial.

The only thing that looks stupider than a guy in a baseball cap is a guy in a backwards baseball cap.

Some people are just so neurotic they get annoyed by almost anything.

If he was keeping the sun out of his eyes it was a sundial.

I always wondered if hipster Arab teenagers turn their turbans around backwards.

I’ll let you know, when I CAN’T wear a baseball cap backwards. Or when I can’t get tattoos, or can’t shave my head, or can’t pull my pants down to show the creak of my ass, or cant wear culottes that come down to within 4 inches of the top of my sneakers.

And that annoys you?

I’m not sure there’s actually a sentence in there.

Well, you know the ol’ saying: “Better a backwards baseball cap than a stick up your ass.”

Well, some folks are into that sort of thing.

About 20 years ago ( give or take,) it became a fashion statement to wear your baseball cap with the price tag still dangling down from one corner of the bill. The first time I saw it, I laughed and said to the person, “Lord, is Minnie Pearl making a comeback?” There was no recognition at all. Their expression was totally blank, then confused.

I’m old. :frowning:

Complaining about backwards baseball caps? Jesus, what decade are you guys in?

In college I spent a few summers on a road patching crew. All the college kids wore their hard hats backward. It was fashion/identity I guess.

I am not sure I comprehend this thread yet.

I don’t know what cultural backwaters y’all live in, but all the cool kids are wearing them Beaver Cleaver style.

And get off his lawn, people!

I was about 10 or so and saw this movie “Over the Top” with Sylvester Stallone. He was a trucker/pro arm wrestler that had some kid (his son?) with him while he was trucking and competing in arm wrestling tournaments. Anyway, he had a secret weapon… when he needed to turn up his power to defeat an opponent he would turn his cap around (proof: http://i.giphy.com/3oxRmpE9qph8XroPFS.gif). This always stuck with me, and now I tend to wear my hat backwards, because why not be at full power all the time?

And don’t get me started on flat-brimmed caps!

I thought berets were part of their dress uniform, and weren’t supposed to be worn in the field.
