Just say you were walking through the shopping centre behind a lady who had accidentally tucked her skirt into her undies, or had toilet paper stuck in her stockings would you honestly tell her? Or would you just ignore it and hope someone else had the guts to do it? I hope that I'd be kind enough to be able to do it but it would be so awkward and embarassing! What would you do?

I would definitely tell them. I feel bad for them because I have been in their shoes and I would have wanted someone to tell me too. Yes, it's embarassing but trust me, they are grateful that you have done them a good deed.

Oh, Of course I would tell her, I would feel embarrassed for her and I would be grateful that if it ever happened to me that someone would be kind enough to tell me.

I would and I have informed someone of that before. I think it is much better for her to know and limit the amount of people who witness her embarrassment. PLUS, when she finally realized what was wrong, she would wonder why no one, of all the people around her, did her the kindness of letting her know. That would be cruel to me, to not tell her. And the two times I have told someone that (skirt was caught in underwear the first incident & and second time, the woman had her skirt stuck to the side because of static cling and her slip was showing very badly) they both thanked me for it, very grateful. And I certainly would want someone to tell me. : )

Yes I would maybe with a gesture of some sort but if that didn't work I would say, excuse me but...then bring the problem to their attention.

LOL.. Yeah, I totally agree. I might not tell her about shirt because that would be too embarrassing for me and for her. But I would definitely tell her about the toilet paper. I think I would have the guts for that.. :)

I would teel them. As akward as it would feel for you, image how they feel. After you tell them, lets face it, what are the odds you would bump into them again.

Oh, i would DEFINITELY tell her! In fact, i have had to do this before. i am not afriad to be honest with people about these things. SOmeone needs to tell them, and ii might as well be the one. i know that if it happened to me, i would want someone to tel me. Sure, it would be embarassing for awhile, but at least it woud have been taen care of early on, right?

Yes, I probably would, although it would really take a lot of guts. What if she doesn't take it well? Would she blame me for her embarassment? Or would she be thankful? I wonder!

I would definitely tell her. I have done it before and I figure that I would want them to tell me as soon as they saw it. The further away from the bathroom I was the more embarrassed I would be when someone told me.

Hi there. To answer your question, I surely would tell that person, and I would also hope someone tells me, if ever Im in the same situation, because it would be embarrassing to walk around not knowing, that your hanging out or being exposed... I definetly have the guts to go up to a person and discreetly say something to them...

Sadly I think would have a little giggle to myself and just let her keep going! I would be too embarrassed to actually tap her on the shoulder and tell her! I would wait for someone else to let her know what was going on! Imagine how embarrassed she would be when she was finally told.

Yes, i would tell them.I wouldnt want to walk around the mall for hours and everybody notice me, i think it is only right to tell someone.It may be awkward a little but its not like you did something wrong, it would be a lot more embarassing for them to not know and everyone sees them, maybe even somoene they know.and not saying anything would leave me feeling guilty cause i didnt speak up.

I would tell her. I would say, "Excuse me ma'am but you seem to have some toilet paper in your stockings" I do not think she would want to keep walking around and have people poking their fingers and laughing at her. I have had people tell me that my skirt was up at the back, or my slip was showing and I sure appreciated it.

If someone had their skirt tucked into their undies, I would TELL THEM! I don't care if it would embarass me for a moment, but how would she feel if she discovered it HOURS later! I would run right up and tell them as gently as possible. Toilet paper trailing from stockings... same thing. I would tell them before they got embarassed further.

Considering that I was leaving a club saturday night after using the restroom and didn't realize that the back of my skirt was tucked into my underwear until I had crossed the street, waited for my friends for 15 minutes and, finally, sat down on a (cold) concrete wall... yeah, I'd tell her. :) (sometimes, life just hits you in the forehead and says "Dork!")
