What was your the rudest question

[Dirk95]

Hi all
My rudest question was. I was at a ladies night black tie dinner fully dressed, red Macgregor kilt, pc, white dress shirt, bow tie, dress sporran, ecru hose, dress sgian and black gillies, while at the bar with a good friend a wee guy came up to me and says why are you dressed like that you should not be dressed like that because your not Scottish, bearing in mind I had never met the guy before in my life, to which I replied do you know me, because I certainly don't know you. Then put him right about my heritage and being the son of a Scottish father, told him go away before I deed something I would regret.

I think that I met the same guy, or one that had the same mindset anyway. I too had the same question posed to me at a musial concert once. I guess it takes all kinds.

You are way more civil that I would have been. My NY brogue would have been in full force.

When we wear a kilt we do attract attention, unfortunately both good and sometimes not so. I once had a lady in her 70’s ask what tartan I was wearing and before I could reply she stated that it should be my mother’s at least in the Campbell clan, because that was the way it worked. I simply chose to smile and put her on ignore because she already knew the answer and likely wouldn’t have believed any correct response that I could make.

The one thing about that night I was among some good people, and I did not let myself down, took a wee while to calm
down with the help of a dram or two, plus my wife was there, made me think why is it always the wee guys, I'm not that big only being 5ft 6in, 12st 7 lbs but pretty well built and ex army [infantry], btw I was the only one in highland dress which always makes feel so good

I tend to ignore rude questions, but my wife on the other hand does not. Once while on vacation in Oregon some lady yelled across a parking lot a rude question and I had to actually pull my wife to our cabin she was so furious. But more often than not I get compliments. Just yesterday I was out and about shopping with the wife, getting ready for Thanksgiving. While at the store an older lady came up to me and asked what tartan I was wearing? I was wearing my Wildcat kilt. I explained about helping the Scottish Wildcat, she appreciated that it was raising awareness to preserve the wildcat. She was of clan Ross and born and raised in Scotland.
