Questions people ask

[MacFett]

The one I get the most is "Are you a Wallace (or MacGregor)?"

I have a Gunn and a Blackwatch... Neither of those look like a Braveheart kilt.

Neither of those look like MacGregor either.

My favorite question to be asked, while kilted, is: "Are you Irish?"


...I feel a little more sad, every time I hear that one.

Someone asked me if I worked at walmart. I was wearing a red shirt and black kilt. I was also clearly shopping.

I also enjoy "that doesn't have a zipper? How do you pee?"

5 minutes into a conversation: "Are you an exchange student?" (apparently the total lack of an accent wasn't a clue)

The second time I wear a kilt around people I know I inevitably get "You wore that again?" as if I was just going to burn it after one use.


There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Wore a nice pair of kahki shorts and a button down short sleeve shirt when we went to Disney last, and got more questions for directions and times that day. Didn't even have a nametag or anything LOL.

I've had that happen to me plenty in the past, usually when I am browsing/walking the aisles at a store and don't look completely lost like the general population. Must be the look of knowing what is going on that gets em.

Well it's pretty obvious why she said that. It's because you looked exactly like the former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop:

I usually get asked if I work there whenever I go to Trader Joe's, since I almost always wear aloha shirts (with my kilt! and a pith helmet!).

So, you wear a pith helmet? In broad daylight? Right out there in front of God and everyone?

I'm inspired.

The talk of people being mistaken for employees reminds me of the Improv Everywhere prank where 80 people went into Best Buy in blue shirts and khakis.


Dang youtube thingy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utkkXCF8ZVc



I have never been mistaken for an employee while in a kilt but I have been mistaken for an entertainer. I showed up at a Christmas party for my hunting club and some of the members that didn't know me thought I was a performer and asked who hired me. After I told them I wasn't a hired performer and I was a member they asked if I would play anyway then seemed baffled that I didn't play bagpipes.

I just love these questions !
