Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
This week’s poll is about faux pas (*). You know, lipstick on the teeth, toilet paper stuck on the shoe, a run in someone’s stockings, skirt tucked into undies, a zipper down, you get the idea. I want to know if you see a stranger with an “issue” do you say something? Or do you feel weird telling a stranger? Â Or does it depend on what the issue is?
I can totally see telling a woman who just walked out of a stall that her skirt is tucked into her underwear, but telling a man in your office his zipper is down? Â That might be a little bit weirder. Â But still, I imagine someone should tell him…. Â So what do you do? Â Do you tell no matter what to save that person even more embarrassment? Â Or does it depend on the situation?
If it were you with the issue, would you want someone to tell you? Â I totally would! Â Better to find out sooner rather than later you know? Â If you’ve ever told someone they had an “issue”, how’d you do it and how did they respond? Â And what was the faux pas?
I have told a guy his zipper was down (of course was in a bar and had a few!) I would absolutely tell a lady her skirt was stuck in her underwear or if someone had toilet paper sticking out of their pants. Lipstick on teeth or a run in stocking I’d probably let it go. So big stuff and I’ll tell someone, little stuff not so much.
Definitely depends. If it was something really embarrassing like a skirt tucked into underwear or a blood spot I think I’d say something. I have a hard time confronting awkward situations though.
True story: This Spring I was riding the lightrail to school when the guy behind me goes, “Uh, I’m not trying to be a perv, I’m REALLY not a perv I swear, but uh, uh there’s a string on your pants, like uh, on your bottom.” And I looked back and sure enough there was a small white string right on my butt (I was wearing yoga pants.) I smiled and laughed and was like, “oh you’re fine thanks for telling me” but inside I was like “WHAT A PERV.” 😉
I’d say depends on the situation. I usually tell people when I notice something but I’m sure there are cases that I wouldn’t or haven’t I’m just not remembering anything right now. And yes I have told guys about their flys but mostly ones I know. LOL not sure what is worse noticing it with a guy you know or one you don’t. For a girl I always mention it if I notice since I would hope they mention it to me whatever it is.
I would so hope that someone in the same situation would tell me, so I’d like to think that I’d let someone know.
