The arogance of snooty women in Jeans

Well Bear, you gave her a wakeup call.

**MDR-V300** · 12th October 04, 10:59 PM

I can see the whole thing: old nag lips off to guy with newly shaven head and kilt.
Surprise! She finds out she's not your mom!

Oh, to have been there! Here's a tip of the glass to you

Sweet Jesus in the morning! What's my mother in-law doing in Vancouver?

I know that look...I ran into to quite a few times when I was working in the genealogy section at the public library...I was the youngest in the department, and that was the biggest mark against me (along with my Bachelor's Degree) -- it really burned some of the "experts" that a young fellow "knew" as much as they did, especially when it came to coats-of-arms and tartans! :mrgreen:

The ones that really got in my craw were the ones that talked over you after THEY asked YOU a question -- they wouldn't let you finish your answer, because it was obviously wrong!

Not all of our patrons were like that, but there were a few...

Okay, stop venting now...no longer work there...

Cheers,

T.

Like most of you most of the comments I receive are from drunk frat boys. However, most of my experiences with women have taken on the form of them wanting to lift my kilt. Now one may say whats so bad about that? I wear my kilt as a badge of pride in my heritage not entertainment for others. I don't mind people asking the usual questions but I draw the line of lifting my kilt for others entertainment. I generally respond to these women with a question "Would you be offended if man you did not know walked up to you and asked if he could see up your skirt?"

WELCOME LRPDDrummie

Glad you posted.

It is funny that just because you are kilted they think that they can personally cross the line and try to lift your kilt. Life is strange.

AS for Bear's comment, not my choice either, I try to treat women with respect, even if they don't deserve it, and for sure this lass didn't.

I might have said "don't worry darlin', you're in no danger from me!!"....that's if I'd thought quick enough.

BTW Welcome LRPDDrummie, I see this is your first post.

With that kilt you'll fit in right well here, can you tell me more about the kilt?

I'm a pipe lover too, all kinds of pipes, Irish, Scottish, highland, lowland, I love them all.

if a woman mouths off at me I tell her
" you are only jelous 'coz I look better in a skirt than you"......" you wish you had legs like mine"
shuts em right up

There are times when we all are not ready with a snappy retort and fall back on the old standards. I've only had one woman think about lifting my kilt, and she just asked. My wife was standing there at the time and took care of that one. I didn't have the chance to say a word.
Welcome LRPDDrummie, good to see you joining in.

I try to treat everyone with respect, unless they don't deserve it.

People get respect from me right from the start. Only those that ask for it get my bad side. I don't care if it's a man or woman. Good manners are not a gender issue.
