These certainly do appear to be 6 impossible things, whether before or after the morning meal.
OMG!!! You work in this office??
I don’t have advice on how to tell someone they are exposing themselves but I do have a story! I went to karaoke about a year ago and a woman was called to the stage for her song, which was Proud Mary. As she walked from the back of the room towards the front where I was sitting I saw people either laughing or reaching out to try and get her attention but she didn’t notice any of it and I soon found out that the reason for this was that her skirt had gotten folded up on itself and her bare ass was hanging out of her dress. She proceeded to sing and twirl and kick her way through the song, oblivious to her situation. Finally the DJ reached out behind her and pulled her dress back into place since she wouldn’t pay attention to all the people trying to tell her that her butt was exposed.
Just call me the “doctor”.
I don’t find corkboard’s story odd. I used to be a lifeguard at a pool where all of my coworkers were female. On a day I wasn’t scheduled, one of the guards’ tops apparently exploded. They all teased me for missing it. Granted, we’re talking about 17 year old girls, so I suppose it’s likely they WERE channeling their inner 14-year-old-boy, but nothing about corkboard’s story sounds fake to me.
What would you like if that were you? To me that is the question and only you can answer it.
What’s wrong with “Excuse me, you seem to have a problem with your skirt.”
I’m a teacher and ended up having this situation in class. A student discreetly told me and I fixed it. No problems.
I would definitely go tell her, discretely.
The other night I went out to eat with my youngest son, 11. A lady came to sit at the table next to us, hugely pregnant, and her tank top had slipped down beneath her bra. So her whole bra was sticking out, with these huge preggo boobs popping out. I didn’t know what to say, or if she was doing it on purpose, or what to do, so we just hurried up and finished eating and left.
It seems some of the women showing off their butts are doing it on purpose and I’m always afraid to say anything. I have helped out a sister at a bar with her dress tucked into her panty hose. After a few drinks we tend to get forgetful of zippers and panty hose.
I was walking Percy and stopped on the train platform to watch the train and a woman was sitting on the bench with a very short skirt. We were chatting and she spead her legs and I could see her undies. I looked away and moved down the platform. I don’t know what that was about and I think she was either being vulgar or just forgot she was wearing a mini skirt?
I met a gal named Cahuenga, who was speaking at an AA meeting in front of about 300 people. Right before she took the stage, she came about of the ladies room with her skirt tucked I to the back of her pantyhose (and she was not a slim woman). A stranger grabbed her & explained the situation. Cahuenga laughed her not-insubstantial ass of, and opened her pitch from the podium with the story.
I’d tell because I’d want to be told.
Walk over and poke her in the butt. The cops will totally accept that you were just trying to help.
You could just pull the dress out of her panties for her. If she acts offended, obviously she wanted it that way so you should put it back the way you found it.
Write a post-it note and stick it on her buttcheek.
Anything that can be corrected quickly should be warned of. A quiet but urgent “Pardon me, I think your dress is askew in the back” is a good way of doing it.
I keep a stack of dollar bills to slip into the waistband for just such [del]opportunities[/del] occasions.
Excuse me but your ass looks fat, and it’s not your pants. Why don’t we see how it looks in pants.
Yes, but after. As in realize to her the situation, don’t walk up and announce. I have encountered the dillema several times…The first, an office manager obviously unaccustomed to wearing a skirt verging on mini, and no privacy screen in front of her desk. And wearing hollywood knickers. I let her know when I exited by the early request of a sticky note, and put it on the back of her chair before I walked out. Second time was a cycle rider in a cotton pleat, and was showing a lot more than I believe she intended. Happenstance, we stopped at the same fuel station, and I asked her if it was a new way to avoid tan lines…She bought a pack of safety pins and pinned the hem to the top of her chaps. Could be they want to, in some cases…so watch out.

Take a picture with your cell phone and show it to her.
