I find to be never acceptable.
The only appropriate circumstance I can conceive is if the lifter is your spouse.

I have to admit that although I'm not easily offended, there are times when this can offend me, not because of public decency or indecency on my part. What does offend my at times is the ignorance of the person doing the lifting, I do try to go through my daily life as a gentleman and wish others would do the same.

I voted "sometimes". It all depends on the attitude of the lifter. Is it in good fun, or to piss me off. It all depends on the situation.

Casey I voted "Sometimes". Friends and family will "attempt" to do a kilt check 'cuz they know that I'll react to it and everybody gets a laugh out of it. Others-complete strangers-find out pretty quick how painful a properly applied come-along is when applied to the wrist or elbow. Last spring at a Highland festival I felt my kilt being lifted and since my hands were full the dude got to feel the outside edge of my leather soled wingtips as it slide down his shin bone before coming to a hard stop on top of his instep. When I turned to give this guy a Scotch Blessing, he appoliged saying that from the back I looked like a friend of his. My wife asked him "How many of your friends are here wearing a tan shirt and a kilt in a Cameron tartan?" I really ticked me off was the guy was kilted hisownself. On a side note-kilt hose don't provide much protection against a shin slide.

You don't have to be Scottish to be comfortable!

total Strangers YES! Drunk Women YES! Drunk Men YES!... friends not really because my friends know better, they may lift or threaten to lift but only joking,,,, not to embarrass me or them. Yesterday i wore huge big baggy boxers with Shamrocks and get lucky.. due to drunks at the parade/Hotel party. So if they did they would be disappointed.

on the other
I am a [B]kilt-wearing karaoke king[/B]

I had to vote yes to this one. For me, it definitely crosses the line about what is appropriate. It doesn't matter if it would be with friends, family, or strangers. If I'm in my own home and it's only my significant other and me, that's one thing. Anything else, crosses the line.
I've had people come up and say, "can I ask you a personal question." I always will say yes because I'm always interested in the question. Rarely do I tell anyone "that's too personal a question." I am at least given a choice in that situation. Too often, it seems, kilt lifts don't give the kilt wearer the choice to participate or not. I think that's the deciding factor for me.

It offends/annoys me when other people are overly nosy or flirty with Yeti when I am there, much less peeking. I need to put a sticker on him that says "Property of String"
