But what the rules for my monocle and gloves? And do the rules apply during my around the world balloon race?
If you must ask...

How to Wear Gloves
It is always necessary to put your gloves on in the convenience and privacy of your own residence. It’s often unnerving trying to figure out when to remove your gloves and when to leave them on, particularly with elegant gloves. The standard rule is to leave them on for greeting guests, but, unlike women, the gentleman should remove the glove as a sign of respect to shake hands. It is also worn while performing activities including dancing or posing for photographs. Contrary to that, remove the gloves while dining to avoid staining them, first at the commencement of the meal, followed by putting them back on at the end. In addition, keep all jewelry off your gloves with the exception of a bracelet or watch touching the cuff, but not over. For any other additions, a crest, monogram or icon is only acceptable when it has some meaning. As an example, often Freemasons will wear formal white gloves with a blue Masonic icon embroidered on the backside of the palm. When removing gloves, one should practice enough that they can be swiftly removed ideally in private. Like a bow tie, however, it is always suggested that they remain on through the entire duration of the event as a sign of respect to your host or guests.


Sadly, the bureaucrats have removed the gentlemanly aspects of balloon journeys...


That said, in my Gentleman’s Club zeppelin ownership is the norm.

Skeletor knew this at the bill's inception. The point isn't to get this passed, it's to submit to congress, watch it get shot down, then point the finger at the fascist Republicans who don't want to help the people. They're looking around realizing they're going to have a hard time electing Biden, so they're stocking up on attack ammo as much as they can before November.
This just in: Congressional members engaged in political grand standing. More at 11!

Like my grandmother told me, the only people allowed to wear hats indoors are women and bald men...
I'm surprised that this isn't more common.

My brother likes wearing hats. When we were growing up, my dad would smack it off his head (by hitting the bill of the hat) if he wore it indoors, and would throw it out if worn at the dinner table.

Yet I didn't find out you were supposed to wait for everyone to have their plate to start eating until I was 25.

The 21st century version of this is cell phones. Shouldn't ever be used at a dinner table for any reason, shouldn't talk on the phone indoors, and shouldn't text in the company of others unless it's to communicate with someone who is about to join the group. If you must take it, excuse yourself (but you probably don't really have to taie that call/answer that text immediately).
