Embarrassing Situations

As much as I joke around on here, I would pull the person aside and do it in private. It would be embarrassing enough for the person to be told, even in private, so why would I add to that by doing it in public?

I would probably not tell anything. It is embarrassing to tell it and the earth will not stop if it is me and I don't notice it.

Nah, I may end up telling right there! Problem is I never hang out in a group, it's always me and someone else; so difficult to predict....

I wouldn't cause an embarrassing scene. That's just not me.

Ofcourse I will pull the person aside and bring it to her notice. There used to be a colleague of mine who did not smell good. As you know we do not get our own smell. I mentioned that to her when no one was around. She was grateful to me. Constructive criticism is rarely seen these days.

i think i would have to pull the person aside and bring it up that way so their not wondering whyent you want to talk better then embararesting their selfs

Hmm reading this I think I might need to be a little more tactful as to not embarrass them. I would definitely tell someone if they have food in their teeth, or their zipper is down, or they have a booger hanging out of their nose. I will make sure next time I tell them that I take extra care to take them aside and let them know quietly as I cannot remember if I do that for sure or not. I think I just try to tell them as soon as possible so no one else will notice it.

Guilty on many counts The very recent one - at the mall a few buildings away, there was a cute kid (maybe around 10-11) with his parents. He was quite active and we started smiling at each other. I realized, he was wearing his tee inside out (I dont know how to describe this, sorry). And he was all like look at my new tee, looks great isnt it. I signaled him to look at his shoulder and he realized he was wearing it wrong. He walked up to his mom and told her about it. She said, okay take it off and wear it the right way and that was more "embarrassing" for him. After a while, I walked up to him and took him to an empty corner where he fixed the problem. I have been told by many that it should not be my business but then, I do find it difficult to avoid.... I am tempted to do that

If i am close to that person , i would pull a tissue and give it to her and point at were she should use it , lovingly.

Haha yes we've all been there! If I know a person well I will just come right and say it, although not in front of others, but if I don't I probably won't mention it. I remember once a work colleague told me I had 'icing' on my nose, I took it literally and couldn't think how I had got icing on it but she meant a booger! In the end she had to tell me outright!

Nope neither would I embarrass someone. I generally draw them aside and whisper stuff. Once While I was at a meeting I had to send a note across table to tell a guy to zip up.

I would do the same as you, it's no good embarrassing anyone unnecessarily

hmm, i aint ne'er been in a situation such 's described. apologies, i've no way to respond honestly.

I would pull them to the side and tell them, and hope that one day if it is ever necessary, they would do the same for me. Or I would be just mortified.

I would pull em off to the side. Embarrassment is awful.
