Dioning with Morons

[Frank McGrath]

Off topic, maybe. The wife and I went out for dinner last night at one of our favorite restaurants. It's in a little town not too far from home, inhabited my mostly illiterate morons and neer-do-wells. I was kilted. There was a party at the table behind us. I had had 2 beers. I did not hear what they said, but my wife did. When we got in the car to go home, she told me some of the comments that were made about me wearing a kilt. Not only did they cast dispersions about me, but they were making rude comments about my wife. I just wish I had heard the comments they made. They had at least 3 generations at the table. Had i heard the comments, I would have said, At least i can go home and put pants on. You will be morons forever. Then I would have asked why they were teaching their children to be morons, too. Maybe it's better that I did not here the morons speaking. Anyway, I wear the tartan for me, not for any one else. But the waitresses liked it. Her mother even tried to take our table away from her own daughter.

Ugh, I know what you're talking about. Those people are everywhere. Sometimes they're in front of me at Food Lion. It's unfortunate that they couldn't contain their closemindedness simply to you. Talk about me; I'm a man and I'm wearing a kilt and I'm fine with that. Don't bring other people into it!
I'm sorry you had to put up with that. Or I guess you really didn't, but I'm sorry your wife did.

Yes, they're everywhere. The fact that three generations were seated at the table indicates that, for many, stupidity is hereditary!

Too bad you couldn't send your bill to that table. They ruined your dinner, it's the least they could do to apologize.

[The Supreme Canuck]

I could take the abuse if it were about me. But if it were about my (hypothetical) wife? Not a chance. What did your wife do to offend? Nothing at all. You, either, but then idiots don't see it that way.

[TheKiltedWonder]

for many, stupidity is hereditary!

I have also seen evidence of it being contagious. Far more contagious than bird flu and far more dangerous...

[ChattanCat]

Yes, prejudice is everywhere... and not just against kilts...

Unfortunately, as the comedian Ron White says, "You can't fix stupid."

Most people run into uncouth individuals and groups at sometime whether wearing a kilt or not. It is unfortunate that you could not have moved away from them. Might have to chose another restaurant if this place is their domicile.
