Pet peeves... Let's see here. My biggest peeve is when people borrow their wives skirts and walk proudly as if they're actually wearing kilts. I have actually seen that- slit in the back and all! Way to research things, gentlemen!

Peeve #2- people who wrap up in table cloths and pretend that they're kilts. I met a guy who was wearing his buddies great kilt, and had it wrapped around himself like 4 times, not a pleat to be seen, and couldn't figure out why it was so hard to walk! I actually told him to take it off so I could show him how to wrap it properly! Right there on the lawn at the Colorado Renaissance Festival, I gave a demo on properly pleating and wearing a great kilt.

Peeve #3- 4 foot tall kids dragging 6 foot long swords. Seriously- who the heck thought that was a good idea? Couldn't these people get their kids a dirk? My son has one!

Peeve #4- This one applies only to Scottish/Irish/ Celtic festivals. Ren Fest goers showing up in Ren fest costumes, like it's the two types of festivals are the same thing. It's annoying. I show up in my Ren Fest clothing because I'm with a living history group called the Renaissance Scots and it's appropriate for me, as it's part of our represented time period. But if you're a festival goer... it's just plain silly.
