    Angry Situation at Walmart -- or Clean-Up in Aisle 3

    So my wife and I are in Walmart this afternoon. I am wearing my demin kilt from Alt Kilt. I am waiting with a cart while my wife has gone to use the washroom. She comes walking up to me and she is p.o.'d to the max. Seems that unbeknownst to me, two highschool aged girls, you know the type - Abercrombie clothes, daddy and mommy both SUVs, more money than brains, are making fun of me (queer in a skirt etc) and conspiring to take a picture with their cellphone camera. We walk away as my wife explains to me what is going on. The two girls begin to follow us sneaking down aisles and hiding. I catch the one trying to take a picture and she immediately puts the phone up to her ear and pretends to be talking to someone. I give them a stern warning that they are invading my privacy and harrowing me and that if they continue I will have them thrown out of the store. Of course you know they continued to follow me and persisted. When I turned around and almost caught them again, they ducked away. I then notified a clerk and explained that they were harassing me because I was wearing a kilt. The clerk in turn called security and had them removed.

    My wife was ready to grab the girls by their neck and slap 'em silly. She said to me, 'I get very defensive about any one harassing you for wearing a kilt or just being you.'

    First negative reaction in 1 and a half years of being kilted. Personally, I consider the source

    Teen girls will be teen girls and often try to sneak candid pics of the guy in the kilt on their mobile phones. Two girls aged about 14 kept following me around today when I was out and about in my Utilikilt. I just assume that they are too shy to ask for a posed photo. Consider it flattering that old guys like us can still attract the attention of teenage girls.

    I'm the same way about my husband (and he's very protective about me, too).

    People like those girls really cheese me off, especially considering that particular store and a rather obnoxious website that encourages taking photos and making fun of people.

    You wouldn't like my 3rd period class: 24 ninth-grade girls.

    Yes, they can be obnoxious. I understand why their parents send them to school for 6 hours a day: peace and quiet!

    I dread the very few trips I need to make to W/M each year- usually for something nobody else carries anymore.

    Clearly, Dante hadn't fully explored all of the Inferno. It is my firm belief that the 10th circle is reserved for those dumb enough to go there of their own free will.

    I gather from your avatar and name that you're a music teacher, or at least a musician. So we all know that you can count. Don't use the fact that you're not a math teacher as an excuse. My mother is a music teacher so you can't fool me.
