    I'm not easily offended, a kilt lift may be unwarranted, unwelcome and inappropriate but being offended by it would not be the correct term.

    OK Guilty.I'm one of the ones that voted No but didnt respond.

    Perhaps i should have voted Sometimes,because it really depends on where an when,and if i know the person or not,and it offends any bystanders looking on.

    Not to long ago,someone posted something about a girl and her boyfriend coming up behind him out in public,and lifting his kilt than saying Woohoo or something like that.
    Now that would Pi## me off and i would have chewed her ears.
    Thats what i mean by sometimes.

    Other times,if its only in fun,dose not embarrass me or anyone around,than i don't thing it would bother me all that much.

    But when it comes right down to it,i would rather no one ever tried.

    It offends me if it's a total stranger. (I don't know you-get your grubby paws offa me!)

    Friends usually kid around and then it doesn't bother me at all.

    Casey, I said "sometimes" only because a real jerk can make me a little PO'ed. For the most part I'm really not offended at all because it's usually in good fun. Rarely is my kilt lifted all the way up to the point where anything is revealed.

    If it's some idiot trying to show off, then I get all excited and start with the snappy comebacks.

    And the ladies are almost always welcome . . .unless my wife is there.

    Here's the only time my kilt has been lifted- There is this guy that I work who is convinced that I'm a cross dresser. He decided that he should put his hand up my kilt. THAT guy offends my because he's an a*****e and goes out of his way to belittle people. If it's all in good fun- as with my two or three friends- then it doesn't bother me. If it were a complete stranger, that would be upsetting. I've never had that happen, though.

    I was always sure I could keep my cool and just knock the hand away, until I found out recently how infuriating it is to be violated that way at a party by some dumb drunk. I fixed the guy with a few hard punches and shoved him into a gaggle of people. I didn't mean to blow up, but jeez, I hate being violated that way. I didn't imagine it would feel so bad.

    I gotta say that if a woman lifts, it's a thrill.
    If it's a man, that's as bad as throwing a punch, fight'n time.

    Sometimes, because it depends - who is it, why are they doing it, where are we when this is going on, etc.

    ALWAYS unacceptable. My friends know not to, and I expect anybody else to show courtesy. If they don't, I get angry.

    Yes, I find it offensive. Kilt lifting makes it a game. And to me, wearing a kilt is not "a game".
