Is it ever acceptable to wear someone else's jacket without permission?

It depends on WHO.

If it is my wife, then GO AHEAD! (she supports Jacksonville Jaguars, I support Pittsburgh Steelers)

If it is my son, then GO AHEAD! (too big for him anyway)

Anybody else, I would approach that person and politely explain that it is rude to do that, and to demand that jacket back.

yes it is rude and disrespectful and wrong to take somebody elses stuff without asking unless there is an agreement that it's ok to borrow stuff. Otherwise in my opinion it is wrong.

yes Cheri has continued to give us update on his father's condition in thread called Bad News. I just looked back at OP's post and I realized that she made it a very general with some omitted details. I think I stepped out of my boundary and spoke too much :Oops:
 
Sorry guys. Maybe if I had some different choice of words for my question; maybe there wouldn't be any misunderstanding. My apologies for any misunderstanding. Yea, that's the whole point of why this thread was created, just what Jiro had stated.

It's okay. :hug:
 
A prized possession? Hell yes, it is RUDE and just plain mean to take it without permission, especially when that person is fighting for his life. That is just so wrong of that brother-in-law on so many levels.
 
I find it rude and disrespectful totally. If the item is not yours and your have no prior permission to use it, then keep your grubby or clean paws off.
 
Those details are a different situation than I envisioned. In this case, I definitely think that it's rude and disrespectful. :(

I'm seeing a lot of misunderstanding in here. Let me remind you - Cheri's father is still in hospital which means he's no longer in charge of his company. The family members including in-law have been taking care of it since then. He's obviously not dead and he's still fighting to regain the control on most of the his body and brain due to bad stroke.

Now - the son-in-law rudely took out his PRIZED collection from his office and wore the jacket like he owns it - a Nascar jacket in a MINT condition under plastic cover and Cheri's father has never wore that jacket. The son-in-law's wearing it like the father's dead already thus disrespecting him and it's so wrong in so many ways.

It doesn't matter if it's just a jacket, pen, car, or whatever but it's the sign of respect. Don't you think it's disrespectful to go around touching somebody's prized collection without his/her permission and acting like you own it?

OH that changes everything. I'd say that was very rude - not to mention appalling.
 
DS said it well.

This changes everything and puts the situation into perspective.

I find this very appalling and morally wrong, Cheri. You have my sympathy for having a cad of a brother in law.

I sincerely hope he puts the jacket back and apologise to your father for doing this.
 
Wow.... any time I'm feeling deprived, all I have to do is look at that picture and my loneliness will immediately scatter to the plains.

Rockdrummer (hugs tightly) (sniffs) thanks man

It depends on the person wearing the jacket and the setting.

If we're at an outdoor event and it's a bit cool and it's my significant other, then sure fine, I have no problems with it.

If I'm at any event indoor/outdoor and it's someone I know but not close to, then no, it is rude. I would walk up to them and ask for my jacket back.
 
Anything that's yours should not be touched without your permission.

Do you go to someone's house and suddenly turn on the television to watch for yourself? Do you go into their kitchen and grab something to eat for yourself? Do you go into their bedroom and pick a jacket for yourself?

If you don't have that other person's permission, then don't bother doing it.

It's a matter of respect.

Even if someone gave me 100% permission, I would still let them know what I was doing. For instance, if my roommate gave me 100% permission to watch his DVDs... I would still let him know which DVD I was planning on watching. Who knows, he might plan on watching that DVD with his date and it would suck if he came home to see that it's gone cuz I'm watching it.

What about a jacket? What if my roommate was planning on going to the bar with his friends to watch the Cowboys game and wanted to support the team by wearing his jacket. He already gave me 100% permission to wear it anytime I want, but I would still tell him that I was borrowing his jacket... which he would thank me for telling him, and say no cuz he needed it that one night.
