Answer 1

definately tell. do it privately and discretely. It's appreciated.

Answer 2

Yes. It's only an issue if YOU are too embarrassed to let them know. People always appreciate the reminder to zip, wipe off the cream cheese, or put away the tag that peeks out under their shirt. I'm always glad when someone kindly (and quietly) points it out.

A "stray facial hair" might be too picky. If it's a close, close friend, you can brush it back in shape for her as an act of kindness. If it's a "stray facial hair" that is a whisker on a woman, I would leave it alone....she already knows it's there and has decided not to deal with it. Similarly, if it's a wart with hairs growing out of it (eyuu)...leave it alone. Same reason as above.

Go for the pieces of cream cheese on the lip, a fly or bread crumb in the hair, an unzipped zipper, a tag showing out of a shirt, etc.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If it's something they can fix quickly and easily I would tell them- eg at a wedding fair I told a woman when she drippped choc from the choc fountain down her chin, but unless I knew them well enough to guage their reaction I wouldn't tell them something like they have facial hair- they peobably are far more aware of it than you, and even then I probably wouldn't unless I felt I had a positive solution of some sort that I could offer them- it's just rude

Answer 4

Yes.

Yes, Small things as you have something in your teeth, the zipper , but I wouldn't tell ppl about a hair on their chin or anything like that unless you are very close to them. Women specially are very sensitive about their appearance.

I had a friend that has a mustache and she wouldn't was it or anything. I mean sometimes that was the only thing I could stare at. I didn't feel comfortable enough to tell her that she would look better if she did something about it. She still has it . :) :) :) lol

Answer 5

YES!!!! Think About this, if you were going out on the town, you got some new shoes, beautiful dress, nice hat, diamands on ya wrist, but had brocoli all over ya teeth and a make up smudge on your cheek, wouldn't you want someone to tell you instead of going all night having fun, meet someguys or whatever just to realize when you got home that you had a smudge and broc-teeth? I would consider it common courtesy. xxx? kisses?

Answer 6

I would tell them about the undone zip and the food in teeth but not the hair on the chin.

Answer 7

I tell people if their flies are undone because it's something they can change right away, but if it's something like saying they have a hair or something in their teeth I wouldn't because they'd just sit there awkwardly waiting till they can get to a bathroom to do something about it. It also depends on how well you know them, I wouldn't tell a stranger on the bus about his flies.

Answer 8

I absolutely do tell!~If I know them. The fact of it is that I would appreciate if someone told me if something was going on, so why not tell them? The only time I don't say something is if I din't know them and I don't think it is that noticeable. But if it's sticking out like a sore thumb....absolutely!

Answer 9

I always tell people. If you don't you are basically letting them wander around and have people secretly laugh at them when you could have helped out.

And don't worry about them getting upset! They'll be more upset when they finally realize it.

For the record, I have never once had someone be upset (even a stranger) that I told them. They have ALWAYS been relieved and thanked me.

Answer 10

Yes I tell people all of that but the hair thing I would only do with a friend.

Answer 11

It is a custom to keep that between you and your family and real close friends.

If it offends someone that you did that to, "you think you are friends with", that is a sign your friendship is weak or null.

If you tell a stranger, they may be offended because you seem to be being rude, and that is natural. And also, if you tell a stranger, they also, may, get the wrong impression, that you want to be friends.
