Well you see as a righteous Christian woman an unplanned pregnancy could never happen to HER because she's not a dirty sinner.
And even if it does, "It's okay for me to do it this once, my situation is different from everyone else's because..."

That's "The Irritating Gentleman" by Berthold Woltze. She really captures the timeless correlation between awkward and Fedora.

"Most superb Livejournal, this after-noon I witnessed a most horrible thing, as a young lass cried herself silly with fear over the location of her deceased mother's supposed 'immortal soul.' I tried to console her with logical proof that a deity such as 'God' is only a lie told to control people of lesser intellects, and thus that her mother was in fact moldering within her coffin, but still she maintained her heartbroken demeanor and said the most untoward things about my parentage. Even my most carefully crafted up-picking phrases failed to woo her toward my bedchamber, thus leading me to conclude that she surely must be a brazen harlot."

Amazing, even without the "imitating a classier era" factor, it looks like facial hair, ugly accessories, and the ignorance to wear hats indoors transcends time as the hallmark signs of a douchebag in any century.

The painting is correct regarding hatiquette. (However there's a notable exception in this painting). Other indoor allowances included a public bar, saloon or a hotel lobby. Generally if it's public, keep it on. With a formal establishment, like a restaurant, you'd check it in with your coat or hang it up nearby. You wouldn't wear the hat if you were going to a ball or dance - you'd arrive wearing it, but leave it in the lobby.

The picture is also a lesson in social guidelines - however this is German not English so I'm not sure how mourning etiquette crosses over at the time.
The fact of the bloke leering over the seat is made worse by the woman being in full mourning dress. Being in mourning she wouldn't be available for social engagements - a widow wasn't allowed to leave her house for a year; so it's easy to assume this might be a daughter on an errand in lieu of her mother. Also his hat is clamped on, no regard to social politeness, he is trying to woo her by status alone and is using every item at his disposal (look at that bloody bow tie!).

It's message is strongly suggesting that despite her appearing both vulnerable and available, she actually isn't, and you're making a fool of yourself should you try. The old bloke is the background doesn't want to watch this scene play out.

I think she's probably meant to be an orphan teenager (hair is down, so she's young) traveling to another family member who's taking her in. She's in full mourning and has both a carpetbag and a box (across from her on the seat) so is either moving or paying an extended visit, which wouldn't be appropriate unless absolutely necessary while still in full mourning.

Also, that guy is a loving rear end in a top hat who needs a big punch in his fictional, long-dead face.

2005 awkward nerd checklist:

[x] Mountain Dew that never leaves the somehow-skinny-though-always-eats-junk-food kid's side (bonus points if it's belayed to his belt loop).
[x] Cheap jacket/coat meant to bring an image of old-worldness or toughness (Imagine Richie Cunningham just throwing on a cheap leather jacket and assuming he's the fonz)
[x] Sneakers for no physical activity because gym is only fun for jocks.
[x] Jeans of the wrong size and fit that do that funny crotch thing
[x] Bigger headphones not plugged into any mp3 or CD players at any time.
[ ] Belts on any pants.
[x] Forgetting that your t-shirts can clash with the image that your jacket and hat are supposed to evoke.

I was personally guilty of #2 (had a kickin' rad leather jacket, but at least threw punk patches on it), #3 (worse since I wore skateboard shoes years after quitting), and #4 in high school.

If it's the guy with the moustache I'd say he's doing the right thing hiding from the public.

I find it funny that the few places where hats would be appropriate inside, you're unlikely to find a modern nerd in a fedora...except for a hotel lobby during some kind of convention. And let's face it, you're unlikely to find them outside for much length of time anyway, so when else would they be able to show off their dapper fashion?

That's a bucket hat. It is nothing like a fedora. Your analysis is correct; bucket hats are something that fishermen wear and Navy enlisted uniforms have a hat kind of like that but with the brim turned up.

It's not a super classy hat but it doesn't have any of the negative connotations that a fedora does.

As Sagebrush said, this is nothing like a fedora. It is, however, the type of hat elderly English tourists wear. Congrats.
