Ok, I just need to vent to "my people."

I had a bad experience tonight. I was at a local business expo a few miles from home. One of the vendors asked me as I walked by, minding my own business, where my bagpipes were. I told her that though I have the utmost respect for pipers and have even hired one for my upcoming wedding I do not play myself. "Well if you're not carrying bagpipes, you are just cross-dressing aren't you?"

Now I know this lady was obviously just ignorant of the long and honorable tradition of the kilt, but it ticked me off. If she had made her "jokes" and let it be I would have been ok but when she kept going and going, showing off for her co-worker in the booth with her...well you know. Then to top matters she showed up at the restaurant where my family, my fiance, her mother, her nephew, and my daughter, were having dinner. She did not continue her attack because of the lack of audience.

Sorry but I had to vent.
