    Now the really rotten thing to do would have been to say "Oh, wow...yeah...y'know, I just bought a kilt on ebay that came from the estate of some guy who must have only worn it for special occaisions...it was practically new and I got it for next to nothing. Keep up the good work and you'll make somebody very happy some day."

    Didn't I say rotten? ...but only if the guy had been REALLY obnoxious and really ticked you off...

    Gents,

    This is a bit of a double-edged sword, though, since finding fault with him for wearing a kilt for only special occasions is just as bad as he finding fault with you for wearing them casually. Different horses for courses...

    Be happy you met a fellow kilt-wearer, regardless of when or where he wears it.

    T.
