Whatchamacallit 178: BVG Hat

BVG Hat

I’ve never worn this hat.

This was a giveaway from the BVG – Berlin’s public transit agency – during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) several years ago. Which year, I cannot recall.

The hat folds up tightly and neatly into the yellow bag on the left, along side the whistle in front.

I was standing on top of a guardrail taking photos of the parade when the BVG float came along – I begged one of my friends to grab one of the hats for me when they were being handed out – thus I was able to keep taking photos while getting this cool trinket.

Yet I’ve never actually worn it – I’ve put it in a drawer and promptly forgotten about it until I started cleaning the drawer earlier this month.

Holy cow, there was a lot of crap in the drawer.

Not that this is crap – it’s fun, but it’s also not something I would wear that frequently – even though I have a small hat collection. It’s pretty yellow, not a color I wear.

Maybe I would wear it if I happened to have it with me when it started to rain.


During the Covid-19 crisis, I am going to try and make a point of writing a blog post about an object in my home.

We’ll see how long this lasts.
