Accidental exposure

**Mel1721L** · 14th July 14, 12:32 PM

Today I learned that a kilt is not the best thing to be wearing when you fall down the stairs.

I was trying to go downstairs from my apartment with my three dogs. Not usually a problem, but there were two abandoned dogs near by and mine pulled so hard that I fell down the last three or four steps. Of course the kilt flew up and stayed up as I landed, but the worst thing was that there were a couple of kids who'd been making a fuss of the strays.

What was your worst kilt moment?

Is ther ever a bad kilt moment? Just be careful around large stationary objects when there is a strong wind.

An excellent reason to always don underwear whilst kilted! I never, ever go Regimental specifically to be prepared for conditions outwith my control.

I certainly hope that you are OK, as I know what it is like with dogs, both good and bad.

Last time I related a true story of dogs and kilts I wound up with a red card so gonna pass on this...

Also glad you're okay. There have been times when I was wearing underwear with the kilt where something totally unexpected happened and the kilt flew up but I was glad to at least have underwear on....accidently exposing tartan boxers doesn't seem much worse than the young men in low slung pants intentionally exposing their tartan boxers....

I just passed a kidney stone laughing so hard, Mel. I honestly hope you and the kids are okay. Hopefully, no scars physically, mentally or otherwise. I haven't had a bad experience as I'm still new to wearing the kilt, which is why I don't go regimental either. Playing it safe as it were.
Cheers,
KC

It may be worse exposing the fact you are wearing boxers.

Especially Iif you were in Scotland.

Thanks, only my dignity was hurt.

Amen on that brother! Even the Scottish Tartans Authority recommends underwear for several sound and practical reasons. Make the embarrassment that of the onlooker, not yours.
