Dealing with Ignorance

[Scotus]

Since you are an American, I'm not sure why it would upset you that people would be ignorant of what you had on. In fact, even if someone was very familiar with Scottish national dress (the kilt), they might wonder what you were wearing when you have on a UK.

The heckler's second comment betrayed the fact that he knew exactly what the OP had on. It wasn't ignorance. It was breathtaking rudeness.

C'mon. You know that.

Believe me, I deal with comments often. Sometimes people are being mean, as it makes them feel superior; e.g. "Look at me, I'm wearing pants; I'm a man." There are mean people out there, so whenever one is wearing something out of the ordinary, in my humble opinion patience is needed. And, I agree the the second part of the comment was very, VERY rude. I've had some people say some pretty horrible things about my manner of dress, but I've always tried to be patient and off it up.

BTW, I'm not saying patience wasn't used in the store; only that one shouldn't be so upset about these things (although it is understandable). Again, mean and rude people are all around, unfortunately.

Often i do let it roll of my back. When ppl are genuine about the comment. as if not visible able to discern what i am wearing. but when they have been leering at me for the entire time i was in the store, and coming up to my back to make there rude comments, or Pointing, laughing, being a spectical, than at times i do Stand up for what i am wearing and my choice to wear it.
