How very annoying!

Had something similar happen. Was in a bar and I know a couple were having a muted conversation about my kilt. Don't think they were saying anything disparaging but when they saw me looking at them (not scowling) the guy stopped talking and looked away. I found it rather amusing.

I must admit that I haven't had that happen in a mighty long time. However I have thought of saying something like "you look lost, do you need help with directions?"

Yes it is frustrating.

My wife and I were at a Columbus Crew game and the lady next to her kept staring at me and trying to talk to her husband about my kilt. He, for his part, apparently looked at it and said something like "huh. Cool." She was apparently not of the same opinion, because she kept looking across my wife's front at me for the entire first half with a disapproving look on her face (I didn't notice... I was watching the game).

Finally my wife looked at her and said "you know, if you take a picture it'll last longer." Apparently she stopped after that.

My wife rules.

I think the only thing that annoys me these days is when I'm asked, "why are you wearing a kilt?" and "do you play the bagpipes?". Its always women that ask the first question, because the men know damn good and well why I'm wearing a kilt. I've started responding to the latter by just saying yes or why, of course.

At the risk of being called rude, I'm calling BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it bothered you when people asked why, then you wouldn't wear a kilt out in the first place.

Not to worry..no more rude than the fellow in Graham's post. Some get annoyed at kilt lifters. Graham gets annoyed at people who whisper and smirk but are afraid to say something out loud. But its not going to keep them from wearing the kilt just as the same old questions are not going to stop me from wear it.

Not entirely true. I personally am not that bothered when someone asks why I wear it, but it really ticks me off that people seen to feel obligated to know the state of my undewear (or lack therof). It hasn't stopped me from wearing a kilt, but it is annoying.
