The next worst thing I know is when someone tells me what to do. The worst thing I know is when someone tells me what to do in an unpleasant way. I have therefore difficulty dealing with police officers, janitors, teachers, security guards, parents and bosses. I am therefore very pleased not being in school, not doing illegal things, not going out clubbing very often, not being five years old and not having a boss.

When I was a school in Nyköping with my band the other week the principal came up to me in the cafeteria. He didn’t say please, thank you or anything like how fun that you’ve come to play at my school. He pointed with his whole hand at me and said:

- Take off your hat.

What followed can be read on the blog at navid.gp.se and is a long history. But I can reveal that it ended with me not taking off my hat, and also calling him "a big asshole", walking out of there with my tray, and sitting down in the teachers' lounge instead. It was a much more pleasant atmosphere and there were no adult males around that felt a need to pee on the walls to mark their territory.

So.
Never take your hat off.
For anyone.
