Life's to short to worry about such trivial things.

When walking on a sidewalk with the wife, I'm always on the traffic side too.
There are just lots of things I think men should do. I still don't understand men wearing ball caps as their normal, go out attire.
I bet some of you don't even take the dishes out of the sink before you piss.

In a place where you head does not need protection from either sun or rain, the hat should come off.
Wearing a hat for any other reason is nothing more than a fashion statement. If you are so obsessed with making a fashion statement that you chose to defy common courtesy, you are most likely not someone I would want to spend a great deal of time around.
When either of my sons got in my truck with their hat on, it was always the same question "Are you expecting to rain in here? If not, please take your hat off." Why does this not apply to footwear and clothing?

Mine comes off for the National Anthem, the Flag, usually meals, and to sleep.
What about sex? No thanks. I'm straight.

I wear baseball caps- mostly in the summer and they're normally worn as a sweatband during things like hiking or working outside. I also wear them on sunny days to help block sun from above the rim of my sunglasses. I'm not the cowboy hat type. And unless you're in a Cabela's around here you'd be hard pressed to find a cowboy hat on someone's head.
I do wear my bright red MAGA hat more and more. Fun to see who smiles and who gets pissed. That one I wear for the sake of reactions.
ETA: As to indoors/outdoors- it comes off to eat. Period. but may not come off in a restaurant until I sit down. It does not necessarily come off indoors. It always comes off to pay respects.

My boys know how to wear a hat and when not to wear it. I don't care if I'm going inside Walmart, I take my hat off. I also open doors for females (if I can recognize them as such.) My boys also know enough not to start gobbling their food until everyone is seated, grace has been said and the lady of the house starts to eat. You and I are from the same world Sir.

The traffic side would also be the side the chamber pot contents would land when they were emptied out the window.
That was why the man walked on that side, I was told.
NOW, that would be a good time to have the head covered.

Never in someone else's home.
Damn sure never as a kid at the table, and only occasionally now if dining with a bunch of buds at a camp or some such.
Sometimes indoors at a big meeting hall, gymnasium or similar.

I'm not gonna knock anybodies hat off (outside my house), except my kids...outside of McDonald's maybe.
Grew up that way (take hat off indoors, especially if eating out). Good reason, I don't know. Probably not. We would at least put on a button up shirt and clean pants as well.
Lot's has changed. Has it been for the better? I don't think so. Still think anyone who wears a hat at the table is a bit of a low-life. Good reason? Maybe, maybe not. But will say abandonment of all the 'stupid' values of our past is often not as good a deal as cracked up to be.
In other words, take off ya damn hat at the table.

if someone asks you to remove your hat at
their residence, common courtesy would dictate
that you do so.
a related aside - don't wear spurs in the store.
contractors don't wear their tool belts, and
doctors don't wear surgical masks and stethoscopes
etc.
anyway, if you have a horse that you need to use
spurs with it wasn't trained properly or needs to
be taken to the packing house.

There are lots of old useless traditions that are no longer observed. Many started for practical reasons, but once those reasons were no longer needed the tradition dies. There was a time when men and women sat on opposite sides in church. There was a time when not wearing an undershirt under your regular shirt was not allowed.
And I don't always wear a ball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes. The right type will keep my head warm regardless of the direction it is worn. And backwards is less likely to get knocked off when moving through brush or riding an ATV.
That said, I won't wear my hat or cap in church, during a funeral, prayer or during the National Anthem. But otherwise indoors is fine. I'm not going to walk around in the grocery store, mall or sporting goods store holding my hat/cap in my hands. Yeah, pretty much this. I learned long ago that there is a difference between doing the right thing and just doing stuff this way because we always have. If it's an empty tradition then the hell with it. If it means something or honors someone or something I follow with the locals.

Middle school orientation, the principal told the kids "if you have your pack and your hands full, wear the hat to your locker, then leave it there". I was impressed, as a kid I remember teachers standing screaming at the kid's to take their hats off. In their most condescending voice. It seems we have reached a sensible compromise, manners vs common sense. I love wearing a ball cap into the school for functions, they can't screw with me now.  I physically can't wear a hat at the table. If I forget I feel guilty as heck when I notice and move it to my knee, or set it on my wife's purse, she won't let me forget it.

It would seem that there are a lot of rules that I should be concerned about for which I have little regard. Those that would remove the hats of others have probably not actually done that..... twice.
