Kilt Lifting
In the past couple of weeks I have met some of the rudest people I have ever come across. One female (I cannot call her a lady) lifted my kilt as soon as Iwalked into a bar, without even speaking to me. She lifted it so high everything was exposed. The head barmaid went over to have a word with her as she saw it. Then in the street on another occasion a girl of about 16 years lifted it after a short conversation in which I would not answer "the question" and I told her not to do that. She did it again !
I agree with you David, this is not to be counted as acceptable conduct from the female section of our community ( nor the men).
I find that I am becoming more intolerant of the females who just find out for themselves, and one day I will be using my legal defence of self defence when I whack one of them.

I would respectfully disagree with Chef about the costume. The invitation was that costumes were not necessary, only the wearing of a mask. This was complied with and the remainer was normal wear, a little fancy, but normal wear for RollerBoy. If I had the chance to take my lady out in a limo I might consider the wearing of my PC the right thing to do.
If the others there thought the PC and kilt were costume that is not any concern of mine, they have already shown their lack of good sense by wearing pants and asking the question.

I'm not defending the host and hostess their actions were definitely juvenile. My point is just that it was assumed in this situation that he was wearing a costume. The invite was costumes are not necessary. It didn't say no costumes. Rollerboy also states that this is a group that doesn't know him, so they don't know his proclivity for wearing the kilt. So I am sure they were under the impression he was in costume, even though it was not intended that way.
I don't think what took place was right; I think given the circumstances it made the incident more likely to happen.

I agree what took place was not right under any circumstances, and full expect that most believed that it was a costume. But what would have happened if Hamish had been invited. Does he own any pants, (may the gods of kilts forgive even the thought) would he have to turn down the invite.
I have lived my life for to many years concerned about other peoples expectations, perhaps thanks to my advanced years I work hard at dancing to my own piper. Under the circumstances kilt checks should have been expected and watched for. As suggested, perhaps an appropriate sign should have been in place say "No kilt check zone" or perhaps a 12 pound Haggis should have been placed under the kilt.
You are right under the circumstance the crowd thought it was a costume, but then again how many of us had people ask us questions in "normal" circumstances that would suggest they thought we were in costume? Such as - where is the parade.
We must be more aware of our surrounding than the non-kilted, we are different and most people do not know how to respect difference.

I've only had one attempted kilt lift, and it was by a preacher's wife.

I've been out with friends at bars and have had female friends slide a hand up my kilt discreetly to check. I didn't care. It was all in good fun and i wasn't exposed to the world. I think it all depends on you and whether you know them or not. Had it been a random stranger or a guy, it probably would have been a different story, though if she was cute.....

There's a young woman in my nursing school class who keeps trying to get an "upskirt" shot of me. 
I tell her if she wants to know what's under there, she has to at least buy me dinner, first.

Wore mine to a retirement party fulfilling a special request by the young lady that was being honored. She proceded to try to take pics up my kilt all evening. She never did get one
