Do we shoot ourselves in the foot?

[Magnus Sporrano]

Well sadly one of my chums is in trouble with Human Resources. He made a colorful comment that would have been rude if it were from anyone else, but we are the types that exchange sharp barbs all the time in good fun. His "Pretty skirt" comment was clearly in good fun. A lady at work, who is part Scot, claimed offense and filed a complaint. It doesn't matter that I wasn't offended because she was.

I'm all for workplace diversity but sometimes people get a wee bit too sensitive. I think some folks like to add drama to their lives when they are bored and require entertainment.

Well the guy that took my picture at the front door and called me to say "nice skirt" is still at it.

He posted the pic online for everyone to see.

Nice one Magnus. Read the comments which seem good natured - and you give as good as you get.

Oh Boy, I can relate to this Magnus. In my job, diversity regulations have pushed things way beyond common sense. I hope this isn't going to be the end of your kilt wearing at work.

I never got defensive when people called my kilt a skirt because they are right for most parts. Kilts look skirts. I can't fault people for that. AFter all, kilt is not a every day word for most people.

Just approach the question with a sense of humour. you will live longer.
