So You're Going To Speak To Someone Who's Wearing A Kilt

[Cynthia]

I have come to the conclusion that if you can be singled out as being dressed 'differently' from the norm, no matter how mundane you think it is, I believe the general public sees your kilt in the same light as if you were sporting a Starfleet uniform! They are dressed "normal" you are dressed "weird"! They seem to then make the mental leap that you must be there for their entertainment in some way, and therefore feel entitled to ask you the most bizzare questions.

Actually, I've noticed that sort of reaction as well. Just about anything out of the ordinary from how you are dressed, to what you are doing. And yes, they seem to think you're the hired entertainment for that moment.

Glad it's not just me!

A lot depends on the situation. If the person is even a wee bit tipsy, I rarely engage. If they think they are cute or funny in asking questions they get no response. If I notice a bit of apprehension in their voice, chances are they are sincere in the conversation, and it usually turns out to be a grand conversation.
