In all seriousness, the only time I wear a ball cap is when I have bed-head, or hockey-head, before I get a shower. Don't really like wearing hats in general...but when I do wear a ballcap, I prefer it backwards. Sue me.

Nope. Business is buiness and hats are hats. One doesn't have anything to do with the other in my mind. If I respect you enough to discuss business matters, I probably don't care what your taste in fashion is at that point.

I think I would be fired if I wore a hat to work. We're barely allowed to be seen not wearing a full suit (which sucks). Personally, I'm not a fan of the backwards hat thing. I very rarely wear a hat, but if I do it's facing front...and straight.

I have worn them backwards, but it's usually if I'm fishing and the sun is destroying the back of my neck...

A fully backward baseball cap does make for a slight ding in credibility in my perception, however, the sideways/diagonally backward or forward cap makes one look absolutely retarded IMHO. Case in point:

I have a big collection of fitted hats and 9/10 I always wear it backwards. Straight backwards, not crooked, not sideways, just backwards. It's comfortable to me and I like it.

Why would you base someones credibility off of how they wear their baseball cap? That's ignorant.

The same way you base someone's credibility when you look at pics on peopleofwalmart.com. It's far from ignorant. It's called perception. And it's reality. Now if you were to base someone's intelligence, on how they wear their cap, that's a different story.

See I disagree. I think it's very ignorant. Someones credibility has nothing to do with how they wear their baseball cap. The two are in no way related to each other. To say that someones credibility is in question because of that would be like saying if you wear slacks and a jacket with your collar open at a business function then you can't be trusted.

I appear to have misunderstood the question...

Baseball caps were not meant to be worn backwards.... Shade your face not you ego.

Well, we'll have to disagree, then. IMO, credibility is subjective based on perception and if you are percieved as looking goofy becuse your hat is backwards, then that perception is real. Try going to a job interview at a bank dressed in a tank top, shorts, and flipflops. The perception is that you don't give a crap about the job or dressing appropriately for it. You may, in fact, care very much about the job and intend to dress appropriately. But it won't be an issue because you won't get the job. Perception is very real.

I agree perception is real. However to assume someone is not credible because of the fashion they wear a baseball camp is ridiculous. If you're that judgmental based on something so small, you're going to miss out on a lot of good people in your life both in the work force and outside of it.

We can agree to disagree.

I'll tell you what...I am more comfortable in a ballcap (the small percentage of the time I ever wear one) worn backwards.

If anyone thinks I am not credible, or not intelligent because of it, that is your right.

Just don't be offended when I think you are shallow and suggest you take the stick out of your a$$.
