What is up with guys named Rob and their hats? I was in a bar this week, where me and my friends Jen and Stephanie met up with some other folks, including a guy named Rob, who was wearing a hat.
Alcohol was consumed, as we were in a bar, and at one point Stephanie got it into her head that she wanted to try on Rob's hat. So, she does, removing it from his head unannounced.
He practically freaks out! It's not like he was bald underneath, or looked to be having a bad hair day. And he didn't really seem the type to be freaking out about such things. He was a frat boy, so perhaps somewhat prone to freaking out, but he also studied and liked stoic philosophy so you'd think he could be a little more rational about such things as someone borrowing your hat for a few minutes.
But it got me to thinking that there was a Rob I knew in Paris who was sensitive about his hat, as I found when I touched it one night. That Rob did seem to thinning on top, so maybe that was some of it.
And my cousin Rob used to wear a cap 24/7, or so it seemed. Don't know if he wore one in bed. He also didn't seemed to be thinning on top, so I'm not sure of the reason for his hat behavior.
But he has stopped wearing hats quite so much. So, perhaps there's hope for all the other Robs out there.
I mean, it's just a hat, man.

Yeah, well what about Doug? Whats his story?
Ummm, who's Doug? The Coupland guy? My cousin Doug (who's Rob's brother actually)?
ha! Well, as you know, I am married to a Rob, and the only time he wears a hat is in very cold weather. And it always comes off inside.
