Snopes: "The hat wasn't backward."

[Jolly]

I've never dropped brass on a job where the guys wore their hats backwards. I have worked jobs where the guys liked full brim hats. And I worked with some old-timers who liked these:

@Mik said in Snopes: "The hat wasn't backward.":

They're both wearing it backwards.

No, the guy that Snopes points out as a comparison has the brim in back. You might consider that "backward," but the nape strap is, correctly, at the ...wait for it...nape of the guy's neck.

POTATUS has the nape strap in front. That alone should be grounds for impeachment, or at least invoking the 25th.

[Jolly]

So Snopes is wrong. Again.

IMO it's an insurrection. And I do NOT use that word lightly.

The funny thing is that it’s not really that big of a deal until Snopes “debunks” it. Now it’s a very big deal.

I dunno, I’ve seen plenty of fabrication shop floor welders wearing their hard hats reversed just like Biden. Same with yard labourers during rig ups. Matter of personal choice, really no right or wrong way unless there is stated company safety policy prescribing how the hat is to be worn..

Knob forehead.

Knob forehead.

You're almost there. One too many syllables.

[Mik]

But with the strap on the forehead?

[Doctor Phibes]

More importantly, why is he wearing a hard hat in a bar?

It's a Sconnie bar.

Only prudent.

Could be worse. Imagine if he wore a tan suit?

[Jolly]

[George K]

Good: Laughing at Obama for a tan suit.
Better: Laughing at POTATUS for wearing a hardhat backwards.
Priceless: Getting Snopes to retract their "fact" check.

As I said above… The hard hat being backwards wasn’t a story. Snopes “fact checking” and saying it wasn’t backwards? That’s a story.

Correct. Laughing at POTATUS for wearing a hardhat backward is just another ornament on the tree of his gaffes.

Snopes is the winner (?) here.
