One of my pet peeves is attire. How can kids and young adults be expected to dress appropriately for any event if their parents run around like slobs all of the time?
When our daughter entered Nebraska Wesleyan University, a Methodist school, part of the matriculation process involved a ceremony that was billed in advance as a religious service. I wore a coat and tie to the service, and was appalled to see fathers of other matriculating students attend the service in T-shirts with questionable slogans, and didn't even bother to remove their greasy baseball caps.
And that's another part of this peeve, males who don't remove their headgear indoors, even in restaurants, etc. I grew up in an era when a gentleman always removed his hat or headgear when in the presence of a lady. Plus Marine Corp regulations prohibit wearing any headgear (cover) indoors unless armed and on duty. Most officer and Staff NCO clubs in the Corps have a sign behind the bar, "He Who Enters Covered Here, Buys For All A Round Of Cheer". And it's enforced on any luckless Marine who forgets himself.
So, the headgear issue has stuck with me. I, personally, never wear any kind to headgear except a straw hat on a hot sunny summer day and a winter cap in cold weather.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
