I've had almost identical encounters while shopping myself.

Hey Rigged,

Was browsing Tartans by Air last night and noticed that Safeway has a corporate tartan. Wonder what would happen if a Safeway employee wore a Safeway tartan kilt to work??

Can't get it to show here, but you can go to

A nice tartan, actually.

It looks to me like the tartan image is generated similar to the way House of Tartan does it rather than displaying a simple image file.

Hehehehehehe....reminds me of walking home to the subway from jury duty when I heard this woman tell her daughter, "Yes, but that's not a skirt. It's a kilt. Men wear kilts."

I grinned ear to ear for the rest of the day.

When I was on holiday last year, I got "I'm a laydee!" from a 6 or 7 year old girl wearing jeans. The parents laughed like it was funny, and carried on walking. Suppose one of the bad things about being young (20) is people don't seem to care about what they've said to you.

Had a similar experience at the YMCA yesterday. Took the girls upstairs to play on th eindoor maze/jungle gym and was wearing my gray, lined PK (its been below zero the past 2 days). A little girl saw me walk in and I could just tell she was not sure what to make of it. She turned to her Mom and said, that man is wearing a dress. Why? Then she came over and asked me why I was wearing a skirt? I told her it was a kilt and she asked me why I wore it. I said because I liked to. Her mom then explained that while they were not seen often in the US, they were more prevalent in other parts of the world. She then just looked at me while trying to come to grips with the whole concept. I winked at her and said "Kind of wierd, huh?"! This seemed to help her categorize it a bit. She then went to play.
