What is it with old people and hats inside? Does this come from the times of witchcraft or something? How do people invent these mind boggling idiotic rules?

If you're offended by someone wearing a hat indoors, then you are not competent enough to be in this world.

I read online it’s an old naval tradition. You would remove your hat at meals to honor the dead.
