Hello Jamie

The complainer probably has no real opinion on kilts - I get the feeling that they simply wanted to hurt you, and to show their power through their manipulation of the establishment and environment you work in.

I'd put money on their real aim being to get you to give them a show of just how angry and upset they have managed to make you, so I can only advise that you stay cool, calm and collected if/when the subject comes up.

I can't believe that anyone wanted to wear jeans to work so much that they would make such a fuss. Perhaps they have a problem with authority and dress codes.

Do keep it firmly in your thoughts that it is someone else who has the problem - you might even commiserate with the supervisors who have to deal with such petty 'office politics'.
