    it never ever fails.....

    ok...so i've had my choco-brown workman's UK for well over a year (getting close to two actually) ...and in the begining, I wore it alot, at the very least once a week. And without fail, I always get a compliment on it. It doesn't matter if I wear it with an old t-shirt or a button down shirt...it ALWAYS gets me a compliment. I don't even think it's my fave causual kilt...but one thing for sure.....it really makes me feel good to wear.
    I've actually made friends with people because of it.


    I think from now on I am gonna make sure I try to comment on people's clothing (kilts or not) that I like. If I can make other people feel that good..then why not.

    I find myself commenting on unusual outfits when I'm driving my bus. I especially like the girls who wear the cute hats with the animal ears. I always try to compliment them.

    I've started doing that myself. You just have to be careful how you might compliment a lady, especially at work. The last thing anyone wants is a sexual harrassment suit over a well intentioned compliment.

    Not likely being that easily sued in this neck of the woods - eh Norway (and Finland too, I guess)... :rolleyes:

    I wish it was like that here. Honestly you probably would be alright if just nice comments were all it was, but the stigma of the accusation would be enough to end your career in most places.

    I have a couple of friends of mine in law enforcement in the US, and sadly enough I have been told the situation you describe is not all uncommon.

    Still, nice comments from nice people certainly mustn't become extinct, and back to the origin of the thread:
    It's not only nice receiving compliments, it also feels good to give them

    I must agree about giving compliments. In my experience, a nice compliment does as much for my attitude as for the reciever.

    Again, the power of the kilts shows itself. Amazing is how much a simple compliment can do for a person's attitude and mood.
