  • Don't EVER try something like that in my friend's pub...

    Jesus, this happened a few hours ago and I'm still feeling pretty damn riled about it.

    JUST been to the hospital to visit my grandmother, I'm not feeling particularly fantastic, so I go to the pub (my local - I know the owners, and I know the bar staff. We're all pretty good friends). I'm having a few games of pool with my girlfriend, and there's this old drunk guy sitting near the pool table being abusive to her, just foul language, while I grab my cue from the bar. Annoying, and grounds to have him kicked out, but we figured we'd ignore him, and he'd get bored and wander off like most drunks do.

    Next thing I know, I'm hearing him (in between his chronic bouts of foul language) muttering under his breath about 'cross dressing' and 'is that a fscking guy or a girl?' I've been used to this kind of thing for years, ever since I grew my hair long, (oh, and I've recently taken to wearing skirts) so again, it's beneath me. I just think, yeah, guy in a skirt, it's called change. Get used to it and stop wearing yourself as a hat.

    Anyway, I'm about to take my shot when my girlfriend, looking past me yells at the guy. I look up (I'd seen him move from the corner of my eye) and he's standing behind me, muttering again. I look at my girlfriend, and she tells me the guy went to kick me.



    Seriously? Is this guy so insecure in his world that his masculinity is threatened by the fact that I'm comfortable wearing a skirt?

    So we get the barman (M) to throw him out (he was counting his till at the time and didn't see it happen). Turns out the guy's been warned three times already for talking shit at other customers, but every time before he's calmed down after a talking to. M's had enough. Tells the guy to drink up and get out. Guy starts mumbling, saying he hasn't done anything, so M tells him forget the drink, just get out. As I'm taking my next shot, I'm keeping an eye on the guy, and lo and behold, as he walks by while being escorted out, he jumps on me. M dragged him off almost before I could react (not that the guy would have been capable of anything anyway, he was old, barely came up to my shoulder, and off his face) but I'm still grateful to M for having my back and for just doing his job properly.

    Needless to say that guy won't be coming back for a long time.

    What the hell was his problem? There is nothing wrong with someone enjoying wearing skirts. They are fun. It's good you've found a place like that where they take care of problems. What a jerk.

      I'd rather wear a kilt, but that's just me.

        A Kilt IS a skirt. Or am I wrong about that?

          Try telling a Scotsman that and see what kind of reaction you get.

            Almost, I think the real noticeable difference is the length, the pleats, and the fact that you don't wear undies with it. My cousin is always flashing ppl to prove it's a kilt he's wearing and not a skirt.

              It's also usually a specific tartan. Although they do make Utilikilts in various casual patterns, including camo.

                I once seen a guy at a convention in a leather kilt. He let me follow him around for about an hour before telling me that they were being sold at the convention.

                mmmmm, leather.

                  If you're familiar with the Devil's Panties (written and drawn by Jennie Breeden, who also draws CS' very own strip), then you may also be familiar with her "Men In Kilts and Leafblowers" series of calendars. You should check it out, if you like that sort of thing.

                      Well, nowadays there's the whole tartan thing. But originally, the tartans were started so the Romans could tell which clan everybody was from.

                          Especially if he's carrying a caber! (Or any Scotswoman, for that matter, whether we look like we're armed or not.)

                          Um, actually, no they weren't. The Romans took note of the striped and brightly colored cloth that the Celts used, but never gave enough description to tell which clans they might have been.

                            I have never understood why men can't wear skirts when women can wear pants. I shared this sentiment with a coworker once and her reply was "because it's WRONG."

                              That's one of the reasons I started :P

                              Women were met with pretty much the same reaction when they first started wearing trousers anyway.

                              So much for equality eh?

                              Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, I don't wear what I'd consider 'women's' skirts, just as I wouldn't wear women's trousers. They're full length, fitted to me, and covered in various straps/buckles. Not what I'd consider overly feminine anyway
