A good example of level headed threading. I've been lifted and wind-tossed. Oh, well!

...it's a woman, lifting the front of your kilt.
...it's a man, lifting the back of your kilt.
...it's a man, lifting the front of your kilt.

When women lift the back of my kilt, I don't personally get too bent. I do make a mental note of who did it, though, because I don't particularly want to spend any time with them or give them any positive attention.

I do get pretty PO'd when someone tries to lift the front, or if a man tries to lift the back.

I was talking to a woman tonight, keeping the mystery alive when asked "the question", and much to my dismay a good friend of mine who couldn't handle his ale thought it would be funny to simply hoist my apron up over my chest and give her a full view. I was fuming mad. I think if this had been any of my Tier 2 friends or lower, it would surely have been a brawl. I'm still trying to sort out if I ever want to go drinking with this guy again because of this.

I guess someone must have told her, "Good girls ask. Bad girls find out for themselves."
I looked down and asked, "OK?" She gave me a thumbs up and reply with a cheeful, "OK!" Then, she and her group disappeared into the crowd.
My wife thought it was pretty funny. I wished I knew about kilts when I was 18.

What if she says she doesn't have a man?....
Then you say, "Aaahhh!" like she's just explained a great mystery. "So you're desperate!"
? 1: Go with the moment. It could be fun.
? 2: Get with the moment. Don't lose your head.
? 3: In a moment someone may lose his head.
? 4: Explain to the officer that you didn't mean to cause "too" much grief or long-lasting pain!
