Wearing the kilt while driving

[O'Callaghan]

Can you imagine a woman in a pleated skirt getting up to these strange antics to keep her pleats straight? No, neither can I. If my wife did I don't think I could keep from laughing. So, how do your wives react? Can they keep a straight face?

As for the sporran, I'm with Jock on that. I put mine on when I get where I'm going.

No, we don't go through all that rigamarol! It would definitely be hard to keep a straight face if I saw a man using the towel or belt method!

First, we sit sideways on the seat, swing our legs around to under the steering wheel, then adjust our pleats.

A good fabric will shake out within minutes of getting out of the car. Women have been been dealing with this (entering and exiting a car) with pleated skirts, short skirts, tights skirts, flowing skirts, floor-length skirts, etc., all our lives, and it just becomes second nature to us.

Good luck finding which way works best for you!

If it's done properly, you'll never see it: We don't do it until there is no one in a position to notice.

There's a more surreptitious method, if one has a jacket or jumper (sweater) or some such: Use that instead. Looks like you're just putting it into the vehicle, but quickly passing it behind/under rather than over yourself.

That's just wrong on so many levels!

I dont think so. If you press the finest tartan under my fat ham for a hour in a car it's going to need to be steamed to release the wrinkles.
Just sayin'

I have never mastered short skirts and getting out of the car. Its always a choice between looking gracefulish or not flashing my underpants. I rarely manage graceful, but usually avoid exposure.
