A Matter of Some Delicacy

#1 Post by tlynn78 » Wed Apr 03, 2019 2:54 pm

Bored Gentlemen,

What is the preferred method of being made aware of an open fly, before one, say, goes into open court to address the judge, et al?
Secondarily, wth don't ya'll check?

Simply tell the poor guy, "Your fly is open" as discreetly as you can manage. Ask for a word in private if necessary to deliver the message discreetly. --Bob

That's my normal course of action, but today's situation did not lend itself. Small room, three other women of varying degrees of familiarity, ugh.

Probably better not to say anything in open court. And definitely don't point. Just make eye contact with the guy when they say "all rise," then let him see you glance down there and then hold both palms up and kind of arch your eyebrows -- the universal gesture for: "Well... ?"

That ought to take care of it.

From Twitter:
a pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his crotch. the bartender says, “that must be very uncomfortable.”

“yarrr!” replies the pirate. “it’s drivin’ me nuts."
