Negative remark when least expected

Excellant response from a kilted gentleman!

just not worth the time....

I've confronted people who've made remarks like that. It's always ended on a positive note. The reactions are usually just due to ignorance and people not being very observant.

Once they've see my kilt up close, it doesn't look so much like a woman's skirt to them. And when I explain that it's a kilt, that puts things in context for them. Then I get the usual kilt questions about whether or not I'm Scottish, what I wear under it, and all that.

I once situation, I had a couple of hard-core gangsta types comment on "the guy in the dress" at a gas station. I just walked up to them and after a few minutes of conversation, they'd both taken Utilikilts cards.

Your mileage may vary.

Good job!

What do you think you said that sold them on the idea?

I very much agree, and had my own experience been with someone speaking sotto voce instead of up in my face, I likely would have ignored the comments, too.

Whenever I get a rude, crude or just plain simple remark, I just say oooh, I 'll have to remember that one. I'll add it to the list. May I use your name when I quote you?. That usually stops them dead in their tracks. Kilts are a thinking man's wear. Jeans are for the rest .
