To this day, its so engrained in me that I actually feel extremely uncomfortable wearing at hat while eating a meal at the dinner table. Somewhat like driving without wearing a seat belt... or better yet, driving a motorcycle without a helmet on.

But then again, when I was young, you actually dressed up for special occasions... ie. going to church, going out to dinner, going to a wedding, etc.

Now people go out wearing ratty blue jeans and a t-shirt to all three of those examples. People take a lot less pride in their appearance than they used to.
