O.K. , this may have been just a local fad ,but when I was 15 or 16 (many decades ago ) some guys would intentionally wear their  3/4 helmets backwards -- as a kind of protest against Florida's helmet law . It only said you had to wear it-not how....
They called it 'baby bonnet' style -try it -you will see why .

I swear I never did it !!

Yeah ,it did look just about as stupid as this guy .

I've always kind of liked this pic, too:

Especially since that looks like an actual motorcycle helmet on the handlebars...   ::)

Are grout buckets preferable over another kind?

A KFC chicken bucket would work about as well too.
