Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hipster hat wearing just looks so douchey to me.

Doesn't hipster-doing-just-about-everything look douchey to you?

I guess I'm saying it's a douche-signifier. Putting on one of those hats is like popping the collar and announcing to the world, "I am an enormous douchebag with attached douchenozzle! You may also call me a porkflopper! Scorn me now!"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

No Hats Indoors was a rule in elementary school, so in the abstract, it seems like it needs to be followed. In practice, I don't really notice if it's broken. But I think it's reasonable for it to be built into a dresscode, and dresscodes should be complied with.

Which hats count?

Does all collar popping count?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Which hats count?

Those stingy brim fedora thingies you see on Justin Timberlake. Straw ones, but also the houndstooth check.

Does all collar popping count?

Yes. Except for Elvis impersonators. They get a bye.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I googled "douche hat" and got this. And that's what I'm referring to.

That same search also turned up Megan Fox wearing one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting used to it. I think I also just appreciate when people put any effort into their appearance.

You know what I don't like? When the cafeteria doesn't follow the menu that's on the intranet! It says today's deli special is roast beef, but they had that yesterday! Woe.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Fuckin' hipsters.
