Being the person in charge give one too much power. I took a girls Santa hat temporarily because she was misbehaving. The misbehaving had nothing to do with the hat so I was probably over stepping my bounds and I feel a bit guilty about the whole thing. At my other job working with a man with developmental delays who acts up in order to get attention you can take his hat until he promises to behave. This is perhaps more ethical but still doesn't feel right. Authority figures are just bullies. I wish I was brave enough to stand up even when my hat is taken, but alas I am not. That's why it works. Nobody really is we are all just people pleasers, and that probably helps make society work.
I have a vision of running through the streets knocking off hats of men from the 19th Century and doing this until I came to a beautiful man who didn't care that his hat was knocked off and just continued walking. I am not sure if this is the proper response. It certainly doesn't bode well for the man pocketbook. Also, he is letting me the hat criminal "get away with it". But what else can he do? Maybe I am just putting too much stock in being different. Maybe the every man is write.
I think this may be becoming psychotic ramblings so I will stop.
