Enough is Enough

[Freedomlover]

While I find such people annoying, and tell them so, I find them far LESS annoying than people who tell me what my attitude about something needs to be.

I'LL decide what's enough for me, thank you.

My, my. Touchy aren't you? And without reason since I did not presume to instruct you about attitude. I simply asked a civil question.

[Bob C]

Nonsense. You set yourself up as the standard and challenged others to defend themselves for thinking differently.

I simply challenged your authority to do so.

What I would like to know is why men who wish to be taken seriously permit that sort of behavior. Think about it.

Client meetings are the only times that I demand to be taken seriously. Once the meetings are done, I am all about fun and games. I have done to enough business and social functions to say that people know when is good time to do kilt checks. Most people will wait until the functions are over before they attempt anything. Inappropiate questions are seldom when I am talking business.

Life is too short to be serious all the time. If I want people to take serious of me the whole time, I will be in Grey Pinstripe Suit all 24/7. Life is about having and get into adventures.

If I demand people stop lifting my kilt in the pub, is that mean I wanted to be treated like a lady? Man, I don't want to be treated like a lady. Being a lady is not something I want to be. I want to be a man.

Male Bodies are cheap and most of us just don't have the modesty like women. A little cheeky fun time in the pub never hurt anyone.

Now, I am Curious. What is your own experience in Kilt Lifting?

Now, I am Curious. What is your own experience in Kilt Lifting?

I assume this is directed to me?

I have worn the kilt here, there, and everywhere for more than 40 years. And never--not once--has anyone been so gauche as to attempt a peek. Comments? Oh, yes, lot's of those, but nothing more.

Now I don't want to stir anyone up, but I strongly suspect that many, if not most, such stories are pure wishful thinking.

[Schultz]

When some twenty-something woman wants to know the answer to the question, I will usually as, "How warm are your hands?" If she tries to peek, "I asked how warm your hands are, not how big your eyes are!"

I think the original poster was venting some steam regarding people who don't ask and just peek. Of course wearing a kilt is going to illicit some sort of questioning. As someone pointed out earlier in this thread, it goes with the territory, so to speak.

But the actual laying of hands on someone without asking?

Not acceptable no matter what you're wearing.

That was the general thrust. It slid by some folks.

But the actual laying of hands on someone without asking?

Not acceptable no matter what you're wearing.

And that is the entire point.
