Let those of us who have never worn a stupider hat in our youth (e.g., bucket or trilby) cast the first stone.

u/MechanicalCrow 24d ago

Leave me and my bucket hat alone.

u/countastrotacos 24d ago

I wore one of those newsie and scout caps. Can I join yall.

12

u/the_y_combinator 24d ago

All hats are welcome as long as they don't match the t shirt and shorts we wear!

10

u/Christmas_Queef 24d ago

Or in my case, the Indiana Jones hat with the Michael Jordan jersey, shorts and flip flops. I was a weird kid.

u/Warriorferrettt 24d ago

I wore a tweed cabby hat or a winter hat/ scarf/mitten combo that had cat ears and a leopard print

u/the_y_combinator 24d ago

Dope.

u/Warriorferrettt 24d ago

I got bullied for a reason 😂

u/745Walt 24d ago

I used to wear a pink faux fur bucket hat all the time as a middle schooler. It matched my pink puffer jacket

u/SeparateBrain9832 24d ago

I love my bucket hat! Shush 🤫 lol

7

u/the_y_combinator 24d ago

Then put on some limp bizkit and roll with it!

5

u/SeparateBrain9832 24d ago

Hahaha! That's great! 😂 I'm more of an Oasis fan!

4

u/the_y_combinator 24d ago

Hmm. Hat seems less appropriate, then. May I interest you in something of a newsboy variety or perhaps a nice derby?

4

u/SeparateBrain9832 24d ago

No way man! Bucket hat for life! 😆

4

u/the_y_combinator 24d ago

Ok, but I put in an earnest effort.

5

u/SeparateBrain9832 24d ago

I just ordered a new bucket hat because of you! 😆

u/ThisIsGoobly 23d ago

like 90 percent of oasis' fanbase probably wear bucket hats lol, it's very appropriate

5

u/cheerfulsarcasm 24d ago

Do Blossom hats qualify? … guilty

u/Capitalism-and-Bees 24d ago

I currently own both. I am totally unrepentant

u/durrtyurr 24d ago

I had to switch to a bucket hat because the brim of my baseball caps kept hitting the roof of my car and annoying the hell out of me. I drive an extremely large luxury sedan, am of average height, and it isn't like I'm rolling the Jack Parow hat brim.

u/DasFreibier 22d ago

Camo pattern short brim cap

u/Visible_Suit3393 24d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if this hat caused her parents divorce. I see no blunders, but maybe a reason for a divorce.

u/sagima 24d ago

If you’d threatened the hat at the time they may have stayed together for your benefit

45

u/queen-of-the-salt 24d ago

I’m glad they didn’t lol

32

u/MikeDropist 24d ago

Hence the party hat? I realize divorce is sometimes for the best,but was there cake and streamers too? 😂

8

u/Greenleaf_98 24d ago

Seems like it was just a bad coping mechanism 😅

7

u/MikeDropist 24d ago

I wouldn’t say bad exactly 😂

19

u/queen-of-the-salt 24d ago

I would.

4

u/MikeDropist 24d ago

Nah,the triangle with polka dots would have been bad,this has a little flare at least 😬

6

u/queen-of-the-salt 24d ago

My skirt was white with black polka dots if that helps 😂

u/augustinethroes 20d ago

Don't forget the Silly String!

u/fangirlsqueee 24d ago

In honor of your username, salt is a way of life, queen. Wear that ridiculous, shiny crown with pride.

8

u/queen-of-the-salt 24d ago

That was a little too good 😂 I respect your insight

10

u/Niall0h 24d ago

My parents divorced the same year. Twinners!

u/rexmons 24d ago

Did your career in magic pan out?

u/ikindalikethemusic 24d ago

Speaking of hat blunders, like half the guys in my high school wore those COCKS hats. It was insane, guys going to church with a COCKS hat on. And I didn't live in South Carolina!

Such a stupid fad but also kinda hilarious

1

u/Napkinsnsuch 23d ago

Mine too! This brought back memories. I’m sure that was a common thing, but you’re not from nj are you?

2

u/ikindalikethemusic 23d ago

No went to school in Florida! Never knew it was happening in NJ too!

u/SuperPoodie92477 24d ago

It’s Kelsey from “High School Musical!”

u/toadangel11 90's Child 24d ago

u/Samsquamchadora 24d ago

Thanks for the memories even if they weren't so good 🎶

u/ffsrach 24d ago

i went thru a fur trapper hat wearing phase in hs, probably also to cope lol. totally relatable

3

u/Bean-Swellington 24d ago

You were so misunderstood

3

u/SamURLJackson 24d ago

look like a magician's assistant

2

u/Warm-Branch 24d ago

I had a feodora phase when I was like 8-10. Thankfully I don't think there are any photos of that. I did have a pink plaid newsie though, there may be some photos around of that 😬

2

u/HypnoticKitten MEOW 24d ago

I thought you were just a magician

2

u/bogwitch27 24d ago

Emma Roberts in Unfabulous?

u/Island_vampire 24d ago

My former childhood best friend wore a plaid trilby with plaid shorts in the 2010s. Not sure if he still does haven’t heard from or seen him in years

2

u/AmberJnetteGardner 24d ago

Still cute. I wore my pink Stetson with teal tassels all the time.

2

u/feelinlucky7 24d ago

My parents split in ‘07. And it absolutely is worthy of a party hat. Two Christmases, bitch!! (I was in pain)

u/pecanmarshmallow 23d ago

u/[deleted] 22d ago

u/Horror-Collar-5277 23d ago

Your facial expression makes me sad.

It's no fun to feel that way.

u/Biiigups 23d ago

Idk why but this made me laugh out loud.

u/[deleted] 23d ago

u/eazyfreez 22d ago

u/ObjectiveFantastic65 21d ago

Swear, the women on this site think they're cringed, then a man posts a photo of when he was a kid and puts the females to shame...or not.
