I understand why someone can be offended if you are wearing a coat indoors, especially if you are invited.

It signals that you are uncomfortable, that you intend to leave soon, essentially that you don't enjoy being here with me.

I remember some people being quite insistent that I should take my coat/jacket off, they say something like "make yourself comfortable" but I understand it more as a polite way of saying "take off your coat, you asshole". I guess the same can be said of hats.

Interesting. Never in a million years would I have taken that meaning from it. I would just think that the person is cold.

Even if they are cold - they are your guest, why is it so cold and why haven't you turned the heat up? I think was the implication.
