I don't think I would feel awkward in that situation unless it was me who had my zipper wide open and a cute lady making me aware of it, awkward and totally embarrassing. If I do find anybody with a fly unzip in public and is obviusly unintentional then I'll just be formal with it and tell him in the most polite manner possible without turning it into a big deal. I know how it feels so I have to be considerate in how he would feel, that is why I'll just have to act cool and not make a big fuzz out of it.

Well, at first of all, I would wonder why I had noticed such a thing. I doubt I would be the one who would bring it up. That would in fact be awkward for many reasons. Therefore, I would try and ignore the awkward situation. Still when noticed, it is like a horrific accident in many ways. You really do not want to look. You really do not want to look at all. Yet, you fell compelled to look and perhaps say something. But, it is hard to find the right words. I just hope that someone else with less tact that I have will be the one who says something first. That way, I do not have to be the one that awkwardly inform the person that their zipper is open.

It is not awkward situation at all according to me!!! I have seen the people around, laughing is such circumstances, moreover I often forget to zip the fastener, and I have never encountered awkward situation just because my zipper is not pulled.

Sometimes it could be. There are some people who find it awkward...

I think we all would respond differently to this. I my self would avoid telling them. I would not look there and let it go, if I did not know the person. I might tell them if I know them it might not be a bad idea. They may be thankful.

Usually when I see someone with their zipper down I usually wont say anything. The majority of the time I try to avoid looking in that area if I do not know them just to avoid having to tell them their fly is open if it is. I know that sounds weird but just as you stated, 'how do you tell someone that'. If I know you I will simply say 'your zipper is down! I do NOT want to see all of that and I'm sure no one else does!' In a jokingly manner. I believe this is the easiest way to handle these situations unless in fact you do not know the person. That can be a very embarrassing situation for some so I try not to be the one discovering such thing.

Yes, that's a good suggestion. I think that most of us are having a hard time saying this.Especially when we don't know that person.

Hi friend, ur discussion is very different. If i saw someone that his zipper was open then I try to tell him that your zip is open by action. if he was not understood then i'll directly go to that person and tell that matter.

I did encounter this situation. I was at a bus stop with a couple. The girl was hauty and such a snob. I accidentally had eye to eye contact with her boyfriend and it seems the guy is such a flirt. SO I rolled my eyes and just tried to wait for the bus. During the time I rolled my eyes I glanced upon his pants and that is when I saw that his zipper was open. As much as I don't like the girl I'd rather tell her. So what I did was to take a few steps back so that the girl and me are in line with each other, that is when I whispered that her boyfriend's zipper was open. She said her thanks with a genuine smile and luckily the bus came just in time. I did not look back at them I just went ahead and rode the bus.

There have been a few times when women have walked b;y ;me and their fly was open or partially open. I would walk up to the woman when she was alone and then turn my back (to hide her open fly from everyone else) and in a low voice that she can hear but no one else can, tell her that her fly was open. This can work for men also.

Hi, yresh12. If I don't know this person, I may feel ashamed to tell them this. They would probably would wonder why I was looking down at their fly.... And if I knew this person, I would tell them. I don't like telling others this because they may wonder why am I watching them for me to have to tell them that their fly is open..

This has happened to me before at college, believe it or not The person who told me (a girl, which made it slightly more embarassing), found it humourous judging by the expression on her face, so I said thanks for warning me and laughed along with her. What's the point of being serious in such a funny situation?

I just tell them, I see that more times then I care to admit. I usually clear my throat and just say your zipper, They take it from there. Its not to say I go around looking at peoples zippers, but, its right in front of you. And to be honest, I would like someone to tell me. I don't know its down, its more embarrassing to walk around with your zipper down, then someone to tell you about it.

I was actually in a situation where my zip was open and a stranger passing by whispered in my ear, "miss, your zipper is open". sure enough, it is for the whole world to see. LOL But I'm grateful to the stranger he reminded me coz it would be MUCH awkward when I'm roaming around without knowing my fly is open. So I would do the same if I encountered someone with the same situation, I would whisper to his/her ear and tell in a subtle and direct way that the zip is open. she'll thank me for that later ;) One friend of mine has her own way of telling someone her zip is open: by saying "XYZ". eXamine Your Zipper. :D

Depends on your repore with the person. Just simply say your fly is down. Or your button popped in a nice way.

I do not think that such a situation needs to be awkward. It all depend on how your zipper is opened, for example, and how many people , according to you, know about it.If you are not exposed to too many outsiders and the person who notices sometning awkward with you tel you that very discreetly, then there is no reason you should be embarassed. However, should you be in front of many persons and especially if most of them are paying attention to you, then definitely it's an awkward situation. Yet, one has to bear in mind that similar situations do happen accidentally and they should be happy that nothing worse happened - just a pretext to take it easy and be positive. Nayaz
