Here's my friend doing Civil War Reenactment, he's on the left. It's a pretty good costume and he's not creepy or socially crippled, but jesus christ, that facial hair and those glasses.

I'm 99% sure I know those people. If so, I got alcohol spilling dude suspended for bringing in a bullet to middle school to try to look cool once and he threatened to "bust a cap in my rear end" another time, he's exactly as much of an awkward loser as he looks in that picture.

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.

His glasses also seem to be lorgnettes, so he's pretty much just full on peacocking. This painting is so loving great. :allears:

Nope, Japanese TV is just heavily annotated all the time. On talk shows and variety shows, one of the corners usually keeps the topic at hand, often accompanied by the show logo. If it's a special episode one of the corners usually houses a banner for that. Other than that you can expect some spoken things to pop up as writing on screen, especially from the narrator. Pretty much all Japanese TV is like that.

EDIT: Want me that 'Easy Feet' though, drat that looks convenient.

What amuses me is that he has a great GPA and qualifications and experience but because he's completely socially braindead no one he sends that to is going to actually read them. I mean, maybe someone might glance at them as the resume is being passed around the office to be ridiculed. But at that point it's much too late. Only one chance for a first impression and all that.

Seriously, your qualifications don't mean poo poo if you have no social skills.

Hahaha my brother majored in rhetoric, which I suppose is a baby-step above majoring in "persuasion". Then again, my alma mater isn't exactly known for its adherence to the classics, academically.

What? Rhetoric was one of the most important subjects a student was expected to study at universities before the modern major system. If anything they're adhering too closely to the classics.
