Get rid of those caps

What's with grown men still wearing caps?
I've got a client who walked in today wearing an old baseball cap backwards. This man looked in his early to late forties. What's worst is it seems his mouth always hangs a bit open as if he was constantly in search of words. Could that be the side effect of the pulling of the skin from the baseball cap? Either way, this man has children which means somewhere down the line a woman forgot that a man with a cap hasn't grown up yet and decided it was in her best interest to have kids with him.

Seriously, it's one thing to wear a cap approprietely, it's another to wear it backwards. The idea is to block out the front of the face from the sun not to get burnt. That's it, that's ALL. It doesn't provide much heat to the head, and it doesn't provide much cover from the rain. As a matter of fact, caps aren't waterproof.

What's even worst is the importance caps has had in our culture. It still lingers on to this day and styles have changed as to which side the flipper goes! Now you've got the straight model which people wear facing upwards at an angle from the face. Everytime I see these wannabes I feel like grabing the flipper with one hand as a pull-in for my other hand to break his ugly face in.

It could also be that these men are having a mid-life crisis and get the delusional impression that wearing a cap will make them cool again. Orleans is cap city, btw. My dad always gets so offended... he thinks it's ridiculous. Canadian Tire and Home Depot customers are the worst offenders.
