Yes, because all of us that wear our hats backwards are stupid/ignorant and gay...
Seriously, people. Could you be any more ridiculous?
The true ignorance is that people in this world look at other people and judge them based on the orientation of their headwear. Sorry, but if your opinion of me is lessened by the fact that I wear my cap backwards, you're not worth my time or association, and your opinion means little.
I wear my hat backwards 90% of the time, and have done so for years. The reasons are many, but basically I got used to wearing it backwards during the summer out on the lake and driving in cars with the windows or t-tops down... It's pretty easy to lose your hat in those situations with it turned forward. I got used to being able to use all of my peripheral vision (which having the bill forward restricts) and found that I preferred the hat backwards. It also covers all of your hair, including in the back, which is preferable if you like to just throw on a hat and go without fixing your hair, or if you don't want the back of your neck sunburnt. Not to mention that it just looks better backwards than forwards on me for some reason.
And, let's face it - sunglasses do a MUCH better job of keeping the sun out of your eyes than the bill of a hat does, and keeps the UV rays out, too.
Like many of you, I think the sideways hat or the visors sideways or upside down are just plain silly looking... but my judgements of the people wearing them are made by observing their mannerisms and my interactions with them, not based on their headwear.
