Another Unexpected Kilting Hazard
So I'm at work in the office, wearing my Douglas Modern USA Kilt casual.
Head off to the records room to get a client's file.
Open the file drawer, third one down, pull the client file, and sort of turn around and close the file drawer all at the same time.
Go to head back to my office and I can't.
Somehow, as I turned, the hem of my kilt swished up enough for the closing file drawer to catch it... and there I stood, pinned, with the hem of my kilt latched in the file drawer.
And of course there were three other coworkers in the records room to laugh and point.
Was able to do a backhand reach to unlatch the file drawer and free myself.
No apparent damage to the kilt.
What next!!??

Your pride will heal. At least you didn't damage your kilt - that would be a disaster!

I believe the proper response to a file cabinet grabbing your kilt is to beat it into a pulp...reducing it to a little metal splotch on the carpet.
File cabinets have no respect for the kilt. Not one bit.

I agree!
A Ball bat works, but a lead pipe is also fun.
Hands is the most fun, but not as energy efficient and risks damage to hands.
I'm glad the kilt is fine.

Ah, but I bet it was a very fine 'swish'!

You're lucky it wasn't a locking filing cabinet!

Pretty bad when a piece of office furniture gives you a kilt check. Can you get compensated for harrassment from a file cabinet? :rolleyes:

Yes...the corporate lawyer agrees to settle out of court.
He then directs you to a door leading out of his office.
He opens the door for you, and before you is standing the very filing cabinet in question....with a new 35 inch baseball bat leaning against it.
oh, did I forget to mention that there was a sign taped to the front of the cabinet?
it reads.....
"I'm sorry"
(please be gentle)

Since the kilt wasn't damaged, just chalk it up to one of life's ways to keep you humble.
