First negative reaction in over 1 1/2 years

[Geoff Withnell]

I have had, in the just about a year of kilt wearing, only one really negative comment. While walking past a restaurant with outdoor sitting, one fellow in a group of college age people shouted out "Looks like we have a DRESS code violation here!" [his emphasis]. I turned and said "Children have dress codes, once you are a man, you will be able to wear whatever you like, including a kilt if you are man enough." A couple of the girls in the group almost fell out of their chairs laughing.

Hee Hee. Good response. If you can get the females of the troop to laugh, the alpha monkeys put their tail between their legs!

The occasional negative response is a side-effect of kilt-wearing; have a laugh, brush it off, and don't give it any more thought after the initial encounter.
