Rude tourists

[Dirk Skene]

While my nephew was visiting from Orlando around the date of his birthday we had ourselves a kilted outing. We met his cousin Dirka & her husband Kilted Menace at our favorite pub for darts & brews. This was his very first time in a kilt.

A lively, seemingly friendly group at a table near us got up to leave after we have been there about an hour. After all others at his table had left, one rather short fellow came up to me and asked an extremely rude question that I will not even repeat here. I gave him about a full 10-second stair down & you could see his expression go from a big smile to flat. I asked loudly “Are you some kind of pervert?” My nephew, who was sitting down talking to his cousin and had his back to me, heard my comment and stood up and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Now keep in mind, the kid is 6’and 210 of solid muscle. No flab on this boy. He joined in the stair down. I turned & took my turn at darts. After I had thrown 2 of my darts I heard the fellow nervously say “you gentlemen have a nice evening” When I turned after pulling out my darts he was gone.

My cute waitress came over & asked “Dave, what did that fellow say to you?” I told her could not repeat it because she was a woman. “No! Tell Me,” she demanded. So I did. She huffed, rolled her eyes & said “Some of those tourists are so rude. Need another beer, Honey?”

Sorry to hear about the experience. It sounds like you really did handle it well.

You must know, though, that people are going to want to know what the question is, if only not to be taken unprepared should it ever be asked of us.

I can just imagine what she said, You seem to handle it well as did your nephew. But now you got me wondering What exactly did he say?

[sharpdressedscot]

Maybe it's best if we didn't know what he said.

You got a PM

Well Dirk
It sounds like you handled the situation the best you could, wish I had a Freelander my first time kilted. Your nephew looks great.

Man, way to build suspense.

Kilts are magnets, but sometimes they're just a bit too powerful. Wish their was someway to turn off their attraction to rude idiots...

I just hope the rude tourist wasn't from Scotland.
