Why are people ???

Just part of kilting.

Yesterday I'm in my bosses office and we're interupted by the big boss who makes a comment about dresses. I just told him the great line from this board, "If I wanted to dress like a woman I'd wear pants." Which flustered him and cracked my boss up...she's a lady and was wearing pants as usual.

I've been kilted at work for over two years, and full time kilted at work for over 15 months...still the comments come...

I'll take the FREEDOM and the comments over no comments and no freedom.

Amen to that; I'd rather have the freedom and confidence to answer any hecklers [though I haven't encountered any myself] that come along than to be stuck in trousers without heckles.

Perhaps the closest I have come to any jape in regard to my being kilted was a comment from a co-worker to my girlfriend, who replied that she wears the pants in the relationship. I responded with, "Of course; pants are for women. Men wear kilts." Other than that, I've never received any truly negative reactions.

I feel very comfetible in my kilt and really dont care about the people around me but you get looks and strange stares from people and stupid question from the kid at circuit city whats with the kilt and I said i just like wearing it

To quote from "Men in Black":

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals and you know it." - K

Once you wear it on a pretty regular basis, you stop thinking about it and being "conscious of the fact" that you're in a kilt. You really DO get used to it and forget (or not notice) that people are looking at you.

I have to agree with that. A couple of months after I started wearing a kilt to work, it occurred to me one day that I was wearing a kilt and hadn't given it a thought for the last 3 or 4 hours.

Life isn't about wearing a kilt, it's about all the things you do while wearing one.

That is one of the reasons why I like to hang around the Goth/Alternative Crowd. They don't care.

[MacTavishOfJapan]

Seems to me that people from all races and nations seems to stare and gawp at the unusual. I get it all the time here. It's rude and I for one will always try to keep it in mind in the future.

I was out in Gettysburg this past weekend in a kilt.

Rock...You were in Gettysburg, and we didn't have a kilt night?! ;)
