Your zipper is open

My niece shared her experience when she was on her way to the mall this morning. She rode on a jeepney. She seated in front of a guy and noticed that this guy's zipper was open. She just kept quiet and pretended that she didn't see what she saw. She was just too shy to tell the guy. I told her that, the next time she sees a guy or even a girl on that situation, you must have the guts to tell, so that he/ she will know. He/ She will thank you for that. If you were in that situation, would you have the guts to tell the guy?

That is something that could be hard for someone to do. Ha, your pants are unzipped. If that was me I would have to let the person know that there zipper is down. That is not a good way to be out in public and your fly is open. I wonder how many others say it and said nothing to the person too. That happens also, they will see it and say nothing. I wonder why?

Yup, maybe because they're too shy, feel awkward or just don't care. Glad you responded. Good morning.

It depends if I know the person or not. If she/he is somehow familiar, surely I will inform him/her. More of the topic, I had this instance with me when I was under training with my Principal. And holy cow, she was the one who told me. ANd as a newbie in the school, I got embarrassed and flamed with anger to my own gag.

Well, I guess that's just an initial reaction. Did you thank him/ her?

Well, i may not have the guts to say that. But i think if i were in that situation, i would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me that my zipper was open. Its a litlle ironic i think that i don't have the guts to do so but i still want others to do so for me. Maybe just for the reason of saving me from shame when people would see my zipper open.. hehe

I'd just say "Um, mister..your zippr's open." And then he wouldn't have to be more embarrassed.

I don't have the guts to tell the guy. I always tell my husband to do it. I might tell a lady if her zipper is down though.

You can try telling next time when you will be in this situation. Good evening and glad you responded.

That depends on the mood of that guy. Laughs. Telling this thing to a person may offend him/her and they might do something violent in response. You can't avoid that. So I guess I better shut my mouth. I don't give a malice to that, and there's nothing wrong when your zipper is unzipped. That's completely normal.

Hi there! Oh I don't think I can too. The guy might think that I am looking at him thats why I saw his fly open. I'm also sure that the guy would be embarrassed of me. But there was once when I did tell a guy that his zipper is open. I wasn't shy at all infact I even laughed at him. Well the guy is my cousin so its ok. Maybe I can tell if a guy's zipper is open when he is my friend and I can make a joke out of it so he won't be embarrassed. Ciao!

Oh my god,that was really an awkward situation...i've experienced not in your niece's place but from that guy's place!! I'll always get up late in the morning and i have to catch the bus to go to my school...Due to urgency,i forgot to put my zips!!!!! i have to go a walkable distance to reach the bus stop,so when i was on my way i will look at my own dressing to see whether i've dressed neat....I sometimes have found my zips open....But i can surely tell,nobody would have noticed this,because it is a rural area.... And in my school,i find many of my friends come all the way to school without putting the zips!!! i don't know their case...we friends will make fun of that guy and skip it... And if i see any third person in that position,especially women,i will rather move away than telling them as some will take it wrong!!! Why taking risk?Thats why!!

It's ok. You did not mean it. It really happens sometimes that you forget some things, and that includes zipping (LOL). Good morning.

It would be awkward, but i think being upfront is good. Telling the guy would be a challenge, embarrassment is just only short lived if you save him from further embarrassing situation. It helps if you dont stare at his fly open. LOL

I would definitely tell the person if their zipper was open because I would want someone to return the favor for me.

I would really hesitate and argue with myself about telling the guy. But I know that I would still end up telling the guy because I just can't keep my mouth shut. LOL! But if I am the in the guys place, I would really appreciate somebody telling me about my zipper. It happened to me about twice already and I was very grateful that somebody deemed to tell me about my open fly.

Ha!ha!ha! If it's a woman, I would immediately tell her it's open but if it's a man, I would be too shy to tell him. I would perhaps let another man do it for him. He might just be so embarrassed also if a woman would be the one to call his attention on his opened zipper. But the moral of the lesson... always keep your zipper closed no matter how in hurry you may be.

Yeah some guy told me my zip was open. I was slightly embarrassd but its nice he mentioned. But anyway, I think after a while people do realise their zip is open, all they need to do is look down :o. But yeah, maybe its a good idea to tell ppl. It's actually embarrassing for both people :o but it does save them some embarrassment later i think!

I am not sure what I would do. I would hope that I had enough courage to very discretely tell the person. I don't want to cause them any embarrassment, certainly, but how much more embarrassing would it be to get to where you are going, and then discovered that you had been unzipped the whole time?

That's the point. He'll be in a more embarrassing situation if he reached his destination like that. So save him. Look him in the eye and he'll understand. Glad you responded. Good morning.

That's what most people say to me. You should tell the "victim" about his/her zipper even though it is very embarrassing. At least the "exposure" will end through you and as soon as you told the person. But personally, I have only done that to people really close to me. I'm too ashamed to talk to a random stranger. Hehehe

Whenever I see a person I always tell them. Except if its a pervert looking guy. He might have been doing it intentionally. I've had a lot of instances too that my fly was open and im glad thatb people are honest enough to let me know.
