Most questions I get are sincere, and folks wanna know the answer.
Most common is probably, "Are you Scottish?" or "Are you from Scotland?"
Being I live in a tourist town I take them as friendly conversation starters.
When I first wore kilts to work a lesbian coworker asked me, in a scathing way, how I went to the bathroom kilted. I responded that if I'd asked her that question about the skirt she was wearing I'd be fired and arrested. She was not a nice person and fortunately, she's moved away since.
I just look upon the questions as part of the sport of kilt wearing. Usually fun to deal with and a great way to meet people.
I have developed a very direct response to "the question," but it is not suitable for this board. Even a hint is too much.
