    It has happened to me a few times, usually done by drunk women. I think most of us expect it, unfortunately, since the kilt does attract attention.

    I would guess since you are in a really nasty place right now your comrade "flipped you off" more as a stress reliever than anything. I'm sure your 1SG noticed and will deal with it.

    Always have a good supply of comments waiting for the next time someone does it.

    Stay safe!

    It happens all the time to pipers, when marching about in a crowded pub.

    Yes the culprits are always drunk women.

    Trouble is, when you're playing the pipes you don't have your hands free to fend these people off. Plus they tend to do it from behind so you never see who did it.

    But in 35 years of piping never has a man done that to me.

    Thanks for the replies, I guess I'll just have to be on the lookout for drunken women and the service men of the RAF.

    OCR, if some do it from behind and you never have seen them, how do you know none were men?
