What would you do if a friend had something hanging from their nose, had something stuck between their teeth, their zipper was down, they smacked when they ate, had bad breath, needed a shower.....
Would you tell them or pretend the obvious isn't so obvious?
Me? I would always tell someone if their zipper was down but the others are harder for me. I might take some gum for myself and offer a piece to someone who needed it. Same thing with a tissue.
Body odor, smacking...I would not tell a person and make them feel badly. Instead I would hope they could catch on themselves. But what if it was something you had to be around all the time?
Dare to tell the truth?

That is a hard question to answer. If it was a family member, I would gently tell them. No otherwise.
Okay then, I am daring. My husband does sometimes with certain foods eat noisily. I CANNOT stand it. He also has a way of slurping if his tea is really, really hot. I CANNOT stand it. I do NOT tell. We have been married 20 years. I LOVE him. I must certainly have annoying habits also. *~*
Hmm, it depends on how close I am to that friend. I could tell them they had booger. I could tell them they had something in their teeth... but I could never tell someone they smelled. I have only told my mother when her feet smells, LOL!! Smacking, well, I probably don't know when theres smacking. Maybe I smack?
Yes and no. I would definitely tell the "easy stuff"....not the smacking for sure. I have told someone in a roundabout way about body odor (but it was someone in my family--not sure I would do that for anyone else).
Yep we would say something in private if we liked the person. We'd hate the thought of them making a fool of themselves. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Very hard question but sometimes you have to be hard to be kind!!!
hmmn truth is i am so sacred to learn to drive..i think i dont have that confidence..
love for you x
I would tell someone about the zipper...and if the person was my close friend, I would tell him/her about something stuck in his/her teeth and the nose thing. The others, I wouldn't say anything about. I feel that it would do more harm than it would good, so I would forgo saying anything to him or her about those (bad breath, smacked when they ate, body odor, etc.)

I would be hard pressed to tell someone they didn't smell good or had something stuck in their teeth--no I wouldn't tell them. I wouldn't want to hurt them and it might....
The zipper thing it would depend on who it was.
Merry Christmas. Hope it is a good one for you and your family.
Well, it would depend on which friend it was, and also where we were.
We would tell them the easy stuff also and maybe the hard stuff in private..depends on whether it will help or hurt, sometimes I have to remind myself of "angel unaware".

Mom tells them right out

That is a good question and for me depends on how well I know the person! lol
Ditto, same as you, but it does depend on you it is, Blessings Francine.
If a person needed a tissue of had something stuck in their teeth or tucked the back of their skirt into their pantyhose {yes this happened at at work to someone!} I would tell them. The other situations depends on how well I know the person. It is always better to be kind.
Your Friend,

I would tell them.
The first part, I have no problem telling someone, anyone, everyone. BUT, the B.O. is much harder! We have a family member who has that problem, and I can't imagine saying anything. I'd probably be told my nose is too sensitive!
Zippers and stuff in teeth I would tell about. but not smelling unless I was around all the time and I was noticing a pattern. then I would say something.
I doubt I would say much - unless it was a "safety hazard" or something...
