    More than she bargained for

    Visited my local pub the other night wearing my kilt. Unknown to me my neighbour, female, 32 years old, blonde - you get the picture, took a picture up my kilt. She found out that I was wearing it like a true Scotsman and I think she was more embarressed than me!

    The same was done to me at my sons wedding, I got a big pat on the back from all the Scotish men at the wedding for being a "true Scotsman" and there were a lot attending, as my son married a lass from Scotland ! and I dont have a Scotish bone in my body ! The same was then done to her father who is Scotish and well all I can say is, he was well clad in B/shorts

    I had a woman follow me around at a wedding and try to take pics up my kilt during the recption. Pissed me right off, she did. Once is funny..ha-ha. 45 minutes of it nonstop is just plain obnoxious.

    I wonder what she would have done if you had followed her round for 45 minutes trying to do the same!

    Sometimes turning the tables on people can and does make them realize that it may be "funny" but not really acceptable in public spaces.

    I really think she should be embarrased.

    A pub is often not a place conducive to better judgement. I guess sometimes you just have to bow to the absurd.

    Maybe you should have turned around and said, "Ill show you mine if you show me yours first."

    Well, she certainly got the answer to the question. She deserves to be embarrassed. It was done without your knowledge. What Alan was experiencing - a woman trying to take a picture up his kilt and following him around for 45 minutes to do so is sexual harrassment.

    I haven't been confronted with this situation yet. It's bound to happen. If done by a women I will probably point out the fact that if the situation were reversed, I could be thrown into a paddy wagon and halled off to the slammer.
