Odd feeling kilted

[Bugbear]

If they didn't like it, they will probably make comments to other family members at some point. Those comments seem to get back to you eventually, so you'll probably find out what was going on through the family grape vine.

Brings to mind a story.

I was to meet a gentleman that I didn't know, and we were working through an intermediary, I forget why, anyway, we had a time and place, and I had his name, and nuthin' else.

I'm at the location and time, and I'm looking around for someone else who is looking around, and I haven't spotted anybody. I’m beginning to wonder what to do – make a sign? Public address announcement? Start yelling his name? Start asking all the people there if they are the individual? I was about ready to try all these things when then this gentleman enters the room, glances around the room and immediately comes over to me and introduces himself.

Not “Hello, are you….” Just “Hi, I’m……”

Later I asked how he knew me, and he had been told to look for the guy in the kilt. No one asked me if I was going to be kilted, they just accepted the fact that I always am.

Neat, now that I think back.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the responses. This wasn't the first time they had seen me in a kilt, but the first time they had seen me in a kilt and not at my own home. What did they think? Was I only going to wear it around the house?
Well, I've been kind of bummed out about it this morning, but now I've decided not to let it bother me. We have a Christmas party coming up next weekend and I intend to be kilted all the same.
Thanks again,
David

Pretty cool story, man.

I don't think we will ever run out of the "haters," some just don't get it nor care for it.
