Would you say something

Ms_Taurus

just today i saw a lady in the city centre in a light fabric top and one of her boobs had slipped out of her bra and was on full display, she was not aware of this and i said to my friend if that was you would you want a someone to discretely say it to you to save any further embarracement, i said that i would not be able to bring myself to say something as who knows how she would react, if it was me i be delighted if a woman tipped me off.

Would you say something if you saw it or if it was you would you want someone to tell you?

I saw this happen to a girl on the street before and I told her, better to be embarrassed by a stranger telling you rather than being mortified later when you realise you've been hanging out for ages. It was in a small town and you can't go far without bumping into someone you know so I figured it might save her the embarrassment of meeting someone with her boob hanging out!

Same as if your skirt got caught in your knickers or you'd toilet paper stuck to your shoe - yes I'd be glad if someone told me.

highlights the importance of a good fitting bra

Yep,i'd rather be discreetly told ............

sam34

i'd definitely want to be told

miss5

I would prefer to be told, although it's impossible to know how a stranger would react.

I'd rather be told, it happened one afternoon that the hem of my dress rode up because my bag was pulling it upand a woman quietly pointed it out to me. I'd rather that than to have walked all over town showing off my knickers!

Omg I would definitely tell someone and want to be told myself. I once had a light cotton dress that had ridden up on the bus, flashing my knickers and I was walking up to college with loads of people behind me and a nice girl tapped me on the shoulder and let me know! Morto.

I've told women a couple of times that their skirts were tucked in...on one occasion the music was so loud, I just sorted it myself and then explained after the event...I would want told and I would definitely say something...

How do they not notice they have a boob out of their bra or top?!

I told a girl once, she was in my school so it would've been a good 5/6 years ago. Her skirt was on backwards and tucked in to her knickers. She gave me the biggest filthy and just huffed off.

If it was me though I'd prefer to be told.

Stewarding the mini marathon last year and there was a runner (don't think she might have been racing.. ) who was wearing a skinny spaghetti strap top that had just slid down and her boobs were just flinging all over the place as she ran (how you don't notice that is beyond me) I tried to tell her but she was in the zone, headphones in and focused so she wasn't paying attention. Often wonder how long it took for someone to tell or for her to realise.

I'd definitely say something, if it were me I'd certainly want to be told!

I told a girl in a pub once that she had loo paper stuck to her shoe (I've no idea how she didn't notice, must have been half a roll on there!:D) and she was incredibly grateful as she was on a first date

I was on an escalator in a shop just after visiting the bathroom and I felt a tug on my skirt. A woman apologised and she said I had tucked my skirt into my knickers and she didn't know how to tell me so she thought she'd just pull it out! Was funny at the time.

I saw a woman before and her handbag had caught her skirt and lifted one side of it up to her knickers. I didn't know what to say so I said nothing but felt bad for her.

SeekUp

Absolutely I'd say something! Sure, you'd never know how they might react, but more often than not the poor person would just be grateful that you saved them from further embarrassment.

If anyone ever sees me in such a state, please, please, please say something and help me out!

Giselle

I sincerely hope that if I ever, and all my fingers are crossed this never happens because embarrassent can last for YEARS with me, have a booby out, knickers on display, a zip open, or bog roll stuck to my shoe, that someone puts me out of my misery quickly.

The thought of walking through the city with knickers on show is the worst.

If it ever does happen, I hope its when I'm old enough to be demented and not give a sh!t.:)

Isit possible she was an exhibitionist? Theres lots out there

When I was about 17 I was walking up Henry/Mary st. in Dublin and didn't realise til some guy told me that my pants had split and my undies were on display.
So morto, we had walked from Capel st. so I shudder to think how many people seen my undies til that kind guy told me.

Definitely preferred the momentary mortification of him telling me than to walk around town all day like that

I think some people just get huffy because they're so mortified

Absolutely. I think how you say can actually help though. I think if you say it in a friendly, polite, and understanding manner I don't see how you could receive a bad reaction tbh.

Even if she did react badly though, I wouldn't walk away thinking that I'd never do that again. Because behind the bad reaction is just an embaressed woman. I'd be very grateful to anyone that gave me the heads up tbh.

Hate that sh1t - "I'm embarrassed with myself so I'll take it out on the person who has just saved me from more embarrassment".

rannerap

its happened me a few times,id much prefer being told than walking around like an idiot,ive gone up to a few people on occasions,wouldnt even think twice about doing it

lost in my own head

I would definitely say something, chances are she would be grateful, and if she isn't and reacts badly, you can always tell her that she can leave it out if she likes.

Futurecrook

I would definitely tell someone. I've been saved by total strangers a few times (the hem of my dress was caught up in my bag. Thank goodness for heavy black tights!) and I've always been incredibly grateful.

vicecreamsundae

i was walking around campus once when someone finally told me my skirt was tucked into my tights. the worst part was it had been twenty minutes since i'd gone to the bathroom, and i was doing research so i was approaching loads of people! argh so embarrassing hahaha.

i also OFTEN notice while im walking that my bag has sort of hitched my dress up at the side! quite annoying, but usually wearing opaque tights, so dont let it embarass me too much! but yes always tell someone!

Smallbit

I was on the train in London last year visiting friends and saw that a woman standing in the aisle had started her period. There was a large obvious stain in her khakis :eek: I didn't think twice, and just blurted it out. The poor girl was in tears as she'd felt it starting and was just frozen to the spot. I ended up giving her my hoodie to wrap around her waist. Never saw her again, or my hoodie

Maple

I'd definitely want to be told.

And I always tell people if they've got something stuck in their teeth, smudge on their face, underwear showing. I'd hate to think I was walking around like that so just tell people automatically.

I hate the bag hitching up your dress so your knickers are exposed scenario. Happened me while I was crossing the new bridge in the IFSC. Had bag slung across my body, was standing at traffic lights having pegged it from our office and felt a rather alarming cool breeze around my nether regions. I'd been striding across the bridge with one bum cheek hanging out. Thankfully I was wearing opaque tights and cover your bum knickers but still and all, I was mortified.

I would tell someone and Id like to think someone would tell me.

Same if there is something stuck in their teeth or smudges on their faces, I always tell them

Or when they're eye-liner has run amok! I always do tell a woman, yet only a handful of people have told me. God the amount of times I'd get to a mirror and see I've the panda eyes. You'd think someone would have bloody told ya! :eek:

tigerblob

I would definitely say something, female solidarity or something like that I would definitely want to be told too, although strangely I think I'd rather not be told than be told by a man. One day my skirt was caught in my school bag and a man told me and he wasn't creepy at all about it, he was perfectly nice and detached, but I was still a bit weird about it. It sounds sexist, but I don't know!
