					My wife and I just returned from Target. While there I had to go to the lou. I walk up to the urinal and all the other guys stop and watch as I pulled up my kilt. I think I embarrassed several of them. It was a weird experience. This ever happen to anyone else? What is the best way to handle it?

					Use the stall.
 Personally, I prefer toilets to urinals...probably because when we were small my family was too poor to be able to afford a urinal...old habits are hard to break.
 
 ...and if you are using the urinal and someone starts laughing or making snide comments, just turn around and ask them what the problem is...if your aim is good you can at least get them in their shoes...

					It has happened to me. I usually just give them one of those eyebrows raised "What are you looking at?" looks and walk on out of the restroom. If you're feeling really mean, nervous glances at them while acting like you're holding your kilt down tends to put them in their place. (Talk about sudden looks of embarrassment and shame!) Either way tends to work.

					It's happened to me.  I actually have gotten a kick out of it.  Usually the guys walking through try to pretend like they don't see me.

					You handled it fine. If you kept your feet, hands and kilt dry and felt more comfortable when done, mission accomplished.

					I've gotten used to proudly using the urinals...no big deal.
 Don't recall any comments, but I have heard other men come into the rest room, pause, then leave immediately.

					If somebody stares at you in the restroom, turn and politely tell them that you are flattered, but you are not their type. 
 That usually causes them to flee in embarassment.

					I always say that it takes two hands to handle a whopper.
 But seriously, I tend to ignore anyone who wants to stare. Heck, I was a little interested myself the first time I had to go in a kilt. And we must admit that seeing a man in a kilt taking a whiz in the head is not something one sees everyday.
 
 Cut 'em some slack and give 'em the benefit of the doubt. You can always say that you prefer the lower urinal since the water is so cold . . . and deep, too.
