Hat Backwards Guy, or HBG for short, is a guy that lives upstairs from Ricky.
He revels in causing Ricky more discomfort in his life than Ricky already has (yes, I know, hard to believe any more discomfort could find its way into Ricky’s life).
We think he is unemployed, that he is still going through puberty (as he cannot seem to flip his hat forward any time soon), and prefers to greet any poor soul unlucky enough to find themselves at his door, in his underwear and backwards hat.
We believe this to be his son. Note the emblazened skull with backwards hat logo on his coverhalls, possibly symbolizing some cult like club of sorts.

Further searching revealed this old army photo of Hat Backward Guy’s Father, who is rumored to have pioneered this whole backward style of living…

According to a post made on this page, and I quote:
———————————————————————————
“people who wear backwards hats are to be feared. They are rebellious and somewhat mysterious. They are to be dealt with very carefully because you never can tell what’s under the hood of a backwards-hat wearing soul. They do things differently, they do things that are possibly harmful to their bodies, and they definitely, totally — are kick ass mofos”

Be afraid, be very afraid.
