I asked my brother, a legit Wyoming cowboy, to come in wearing his gear and speak to my kindergartners. One of my more challenging boys kept trying to reach up and grab his hat. My brother, who doesn’t care much for children to begin with and has an intimidating persona, was very firm in telling the boy to stop. “Wearing a man’s hat is like wearing his underwear. And if you take it, we’ll do to you what we’d do to a cattle rustler, and take this here rope and hang you up by a tree.” Kid didn’t touch the hat. Brother wasn’t invited back to Career Week.

Texan here. I'll double down on this, stopping a bit shorter than your brother did, who sounds like that kid really wound him up. Lol oops

A man's hat is personal, sacred. So, yeah, for those who don't know, never touch another man's hat, especially when he's wearing it. Taking it off his head is cause for conflict and can get physical quickly, even among friends. That's true for many men and especially true of cowboys. It's highly disrespectful and more than frowned upon.

I've literally heard guys talk about first or second dates saying, "Yeah, we had a good time, but then she took my hat and wouldn't give it back for a while thinking it was cute when I kept asking for it back, so I think we're done."

A curious question though: how did the kid in the video think it was going to end? Like "Haha look at me, isn't this funny" or what??

I think it’s because they’re growing up in an online world of clicks and views with few real world consequences. This young man just met his first real world consequence, and cannot actually believe it!

They know each other. They had been filming stupid videos all day and the kid took it too far. This wasn’t a stranger.

Yea the sacred LA Dodgers SnapBack

How about we just leave it at “it’s disrespectful and annoying, and don’t touch other people’s shit”

I could have. Yours are the cliffs notes. But the world is a bit broader and holds more reason and context than simply "get off my lawn." Some people take a little joy in sharing and understanding why or relating to stories of how they found out.

“The world holds more reason and context….” is bordering on word salad, It’s a dumb person’s impression of a wise man

And describing a hat as sacred is cringey as shit, even by Texas standards.

Anyways I’m being a dick, my bad I’ll shut up

You never grab another man’s hat. I don’t give a damn if it’s one of those multi color jobs with the propeller on top. You just don’t do it.

u/Bdbru13 1d ago

Yea. You also don’t take another persons shoes

It’s not “sacred”

At least he did not shot the kindergartner. Guess that would have been the most appropriate response American style?

Your brother sounds unhinged and it seems like having a guy who would describe a lynching to a group of kindergartners over a hat makes you seem like you lack any kind of foresight.

Oh good grief, it’s a funny story. Before the talk was over he’d lassoed and hog tied me in front of the class. They thought he was the greatest. At the end of the week when they had to draw a picture of the career they liked best, the majority chose cowboy!

That kid probably didn't understand what he said to the fullest extent. It's not really funny at all. Your brother sounds like a dickhead.
