1. I would tell them because I would want someone to tell me.
Well then they would be thinking , why was I looking in that area anyway.

2. I would tell them.
Would try my best not to embarass them, but heck, things like that need to be mentioned.

3. Other. I'd see it and probably not notice. I'm not very interested in
the makeup (or lack thereof) that someone is wearing, their clothes, etc. They could probably be wearing their shirt inside-out and backwards and I wouldn't think twice about it.

4. I performed three songs onstage with my fly unzipped a few months back.
Never noticed until afterwards, haha.

6. I would have alerted you..
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 03:18 AM by Omphaloskepsis
The alert would have been tossing shot glasses at your genitals. I'm a good friend like that.


edit -- and I saw you ventured into Fuck Bush over on Last.fm. I was about 13 minutes after you. Geez. It is like I follow you all over the internet. WTF?

13. I was on the TV news with my fly unzipped in high school
I was in a cadet program and wearing a dark blue uniform too, so the white undies were clearly visible.

7. I most likely wouldn't notice
I don't spend much time looking at peoples' crotches.

8. If somebody told me, I'd ask them out on a date.
Oi, if they're going to get a free sample, I'd presume they wanna see more! :crazy:

Okay, that's just "bizarre response" mode.

I'd thank them politely, surruptitiously re-zip, and then think of Jim Nabors and Grace Jones together. There. That'll get that embarrassed red color out of my face.

"Boy, you're pretty proud of tha circumcision scar, aren't ya?"

16. I should amend this
Are they hot? Because it's easier to mock the unhot than people I might just want to undress with my teeth later, you know? :D

22. SNL did a great skit on sexual harrassment like that
an average looking guy asks a co-worker out and gets pepper sprayed. A good-looking guy in BVDs walks up to the same woman, gropes her, and she loves it.

27. you should put a list outside your cubicle of who can and can't honk
your hooters.

Guys are pretty dense. You have to spell it out for us.

30. Oh geez, I haven't had that problem in forever.
Okay, here are the qualifications for groping me:

-Must be at least a 7.5 on a 0-10 scale of attractiveness
-No corpsemuncher smell
-Must sign a release of liability in case that large guy that likes my boobs is irritated

Needless to say I don't get a lot of volunteers. :rofl:

18. This happened to me last week.
I was at the train station and my fly was unzipped. As we started to get on the train, a woman who was sitting on a bench came up to me and quietly told me of my predicament. I thanked her and that was that. I was a bit embarrassed, but as much as when, after my first day at a new job, when I got home, I realized that I had forgotten to take off the size sticker that runs down a new pair of GAP pants.

19. I've seen this........
And I find a way to tell the guy discreetly........

It's less embarrassing that way!

I mean, they know we all look anyway........might as well help if it's possible......

20. In such a situation, perhaps I should unzip mine
I mean, what if he's on the cusp of a new fashion trend? I don't want to be caught with last year's zipper configuration, do I?

23. I was going to say that was really stupid until I remember kids pants
hanging half off. I even saw a kid once whose jeans were hanging right BELOW his butt. I don't know how they stayed on.

35. Is this someone I know or a random stranger...?
I'd tell a random stranger, and I'd tell anyone that I liked or knew slightly.

But if it's someone I know who behaves like an ass on a regular basis, I might actually be inclined to let it go. Perhaps even point it out to others and point and mock behind his back. Yeah. I'm a bitch.
