Would you tell a stranger their jumper was inside out???

I've let a stranger know her top was inside out, she thanked me.

If it was obvious I'd be happy if someone told me.

This happened to me. We went out for lunch with friends and I was wearing a top that's exactly the same inside out. The only clue was a small label at the back. When we were leaving DH and his friend went to pay and it wasn't until we were home that he showed me a note that he'd shoved in his pocket. It was handed to him by the waitress and said,

'I think I'd better point out that your wife has her top on inside out. I didn't say anything to save you (and her) embarrassment.'

To say I hit the roof was putting it mildly. Nobody sitting at our table noticed, I wasn't on a day out from the local loony bin and why should DH be embarrassed???

When I'd finished yelling, 'Do people like that ever get over themselves,' I remembered I'd left a jolly good tip.

Hey Ho!!

I was in a restaurant and a woman walked past me with her skirt tucked in her knickers. I agonised as to whether to tell her but I thought she would die a thousand deaths if she knew, she was obviously waiting for friends and was seated very quickly.

Atqui Designer labels are worn on the outside, so you probably got away with it anyway!!

Yes Mini Mouse.. Age does have its advantages!!! Needless to say husband didn't notice!

Could have been worse Atqui - skirt-caught-up-in-knickers syndrome wink

I'd like to think that I'd tell someone that they were having a jumper malfunction, I know how I've felt when I wore a cardigan inside out and it wasn't until much later in the day, when I met up with my son, that he pointed it out!

One of the advantages of 'maturity' is that I just laugh things like that off, at one time I would have just crawled away . . .

I have told a stranger that exact thing but it depends on the stranger - if they looked in a bad mood, I'd leave them to it wink
