I'd prefer something like "Often real life interferes with a hat's ability
to perform their duties".

What do you think ?

It looks like "Oftentimes, real life ..." was meant, but, while it
apparently reflects the writer's meaning better than "Sometimes", it
probably sounds too egg-headed, at least when used in an attempt at
humor, as it is.  (The comma is probably optional.  I'd use one.)
