I was getting coffee one day and sat down near a "hat guy". He saw I was wearing a flat cap and started a whole conversation about this tyrolian hat he was wearing and how nobody these days understands a good hat amirite, and what's my favorite hat?

I almost felt bad telling him that I just hate getting sun in my eyes.

    I am usually a very honest person but this is a situation that gives white lies a right to exist.

    Yeah, I'll fib a little here and there if it'll make someone's day a little better. Hat Guy doesn't need to know that I just like wearing hats, not so much that I like choosing hats to wear. It just needs to feel good on my head.

    I talked myself in a corner today making it seem like I was a yo-yo aficionado to someone who used to love yo-yos. As he was walking away he went “Duncan! That was the dope brand!” And I had to go “Oh hell yeah, Duncan!” even though I had no idea.

    I tried to be hat guy once. Bought a quick silver trilby about 15 years after ska had kinda been played out.

    I saw how people looked at me while in line for coffee and pretty quickly discovered that I was not hat guy.

    I’ve discovered that nobody gives a shit what you wear and what you think they are thinking is more of a reflection of what you think about what you’re wearing so I just rock beat up piss stained nuthuggers these days and life has never been better.
