    The sun hurts you if you leave your skin exposed to it while doing yard work for 2-4 hours every day after work in June/July

        I have one of the big rice paddy hats that are pointed at the top. But I’m not Asian so it looks kinda silly on me, the legitimately Chinese lady across the road wears the same thing when doing her gardening and I just feel wrong wearing it in front of her lol

        Ever since I got myself a big straw hat I wear that shit every time I go outside. It’s amazing.

    holy fucking shit. Brian’s hat just got him in huge trouble in a meeting. Mr Andrews made Brian take off his hat. He said it was distracting. He said if anyone disagreed, he’d let Brian keep the hat on. Nobody said shit dude. Nobody said shit.

    When you realize the sun can fucking kill you and, if you’re of light complexion, very well may.

    These things save my pasty white ass at music festivals. After getting skin cancer this year, I’d wear one with a cape to cover my whole body if I could.

    After they cut out skin cancer out of your face for the third time you buy this hat. At that point you keep a tube of sunscreen next to the toothpaste and you put it on everyday even in February

    You go to a day-long BBQ and the back of your neck gets completely fried, causing you the worst migraine and nausea you can think of, cause you cooked your spinal column.

    At least that’s what caused me to buy one of these.

    My dad wears this when he mows the lawn because he’s had a few melanoma spots removed. So… cancer I guess.

    The trap is that you didn’t add a wet neckerchief which drips a wet trail down your dad cleavage like you’re a total gym stud

    I’m 35 and I have one. It’s great for cutting the grass and other outside stuff. Don’t feel like getting crispy on my ears or bald spot.

    Life is what you make it. Ever since people are going back into the office, the place is filled with pachyderms and smells like wild animals. You can’t tell me the hat is out of place.
