Kilt at work - reactions

[Graham]

Today I had to signwrite a large earthmoving machine with CAT graphics in a workshop.
The workers there are accustomed to seeing me kilted, but this particular job involved climbing all over the machine, straddling stepladders etc.

A number of young mechanics were working around me, I was pretty focused on the job but then became aware of giggles, looks and sniggers. One lad glanced up the kilt then remarked to his mate - "I couldn't help myself".

I just turned to the nearest mechanic and said I thought they were pretty immature.

I just felt sorry for them having to wear overalls.

This was the job:

wow you would think that they could be adults however it seems most grownups arnt well grown up.........

Sorry Graham, I'm going to be contentious.

For I do think there are some tasks more suited to trousers, and my reading of the story suggests that the lads were just being normal.

Here I'd suggest that the kilt will really have arrived, when it can be worn on a day to day basis without comment bo others-or thought by the wearer. Yet at the same time the wearer will on occasion accept that some activities are not suited to the kilt.

Yes James, the lads were normal, normal twits, but normal.
I agree, that 'day' has not arrived, nor will it probably.

There are times when I will change into shorts for a job, I keep a pair in my truck all the time for emergencies.
Today was not one of them.

Next time you have a gathering of twits, turn and ask, "Like what you see, lads?" Then you will really see immaturity as they squeal and scatter!

Thats a great story and pic.Now there are a few more people in this world who know what real men wear under their kilts.

In all honestly, I would have laughed if some coworker had done that to me.

Then again I have no shame, I would have said something smart *** back to him about checking out another mans 'junk'.

... One lad glanced up the kilt then remarked to his mate - "I couldn't help myself"...

Estrogen does weird things to a man!

[Riverkilt]

Such a waste of time. Can't imagine anyone having to look up Graham's kilt to see that he has a large set.

I always hope that those crazy guys are truely interested in kilts and don't make so much of a fool of themselves that they'd be embarassed to buy one themselves.

I like how ya stand proud Graham. You give me a strong role model for wallowing through such nonsense.

Graham,

Congrats on a new piece of work! And as for the shallow individuals who were watching you, maybe you should have asked them what their job was that they had time to be curious about you undergarments?
