  one time I was at the mall, and you know how there are those people who stand at the entrance of the big department stores like the Bon, or Mervyns handing out little samples of things, well there was a lady handing out samples of chocolate...so I went up
  to get a sample of chocolate and she smiled at me and had this huge chunk of chocolate on her front tooth and I had to hold back the laugh.....I took the chocolate from her and walked away but then felt bad that I didn tell her, so I started thinking if I should go back, I would start to walk back to tell her, then
  think no, its not my place and then I thought oh yea, I would want someone to tell me, so I would start to walk back to tell her....but by that time, there was already a woman there pointing at her mouth telling her so I didnt have to tell her.

  I don't understand why it's such taboo for someone to point out that you have food in your teeth or toilet paper on your foot or your zipper is down...  Yes, I get the fact that it's very uncomfortable because you feel awkward by the fact that this is embarrassing for that person, thus making it uncomfortable for you...  But see, that's just it, it's uncomfortable for YOU...  The person, would really truely appreciate being told, I know I would!!

  I usually just tap my nose with my finger until they get it or ask me what I am talking about. But then I have been known to walk up to total strangers and pick lint off their boob or tuck that little tag back in that hangs over the collar. I think I may be OCD--Overly Conscious of Debris. Plus, I am a really nice guy. And when I get a black eye, it is hardly noticeable on a green man. Because some people actually seem to get mad when you tell them something like that. They act like you made the whole thing up or you are a pervert for even noticing. Sometimes you cannot win for losing.

• HalGal said on Nov 16, 2006....

  Well that's very nice, but there is a difference between telling someone they have lint on their boob and actually violating ones space to take it upon yourself to remove it for them...  Have to say, I'd give you two black eyes and then probably an extra knee to your manhood just for kicks...  If you picked the booger out of my nose I'd just have to move away to a deserted island with you and feed you ice cream from a carton...

  moonriver confucius say: hey halgal me volunteer pick booger out of your nose. but you have to do your part of deal. they say rangiroa lagoon french polynesia offer good coral reef dive. tahiti dancing n good kava tea. you did say feed me ice cream? me rather fond of ben n jerrys cantaloupe flavour. 100% worth it for being one-day booger-picker. did grosser things my life.

  I guess they were just too shy to tell you halgal.. But they should have. I was in a resto with some friends, confidently sitted in a corner and oblivious of my sorroundings. Until I got a note (whoah.. my heart raced, it must be from an admirer!). When I opened it, it said "your fly is open". Uhuh, I was embarassed at first, but I appreciated their concern, even thanked them for the gesture.

  Moonriver, I love it when a man wants to pick me...  Very hot....  Almost as sensual as a pumice stone flaking away the dead skin cells...  mmmmmmm 

• moonriver said on Nov 17, 2006....

  moonriver confucius say: yes that too. pumice stone too rough. me prefer loofa pads. softer touch, more flexible for hard-to-reach hole that need regular cleaning. me also plan to apply personal bathroom butler of uma thurman, give her chinaman's bath everyday, clean all orifices including ear canal. then hot towel and tea with rice rolls later. no hanky-panky, purely legit concubinage research.

   A while back, the moment my husband walked in the door from work, he turned around, lifted the bottom of his suit coat and showed me his butt.

  "Look!" he said.

  So, being the obliging sort, I looked.  And there it was. His whole underwear covered backside was peeking through the split seam at the back of his pants.  And I don't mean a tiny tear either.  (Thank God he didn't have his holey underwear on.)

  Well, I laughed and asked him how long it had been that way.  He said, "I don't know.  It may have been that way when I put them on this morning."

  You'd think somebody would have clued him in.  Poor guy, he was mortified.

  In my case, I'll make a sign, it's either tapping my nose too or bring the conversation relating to it. Sometimes, it pays to give a note to them as not to embarrass them. But, at least in private.
   
  I remembered, in one session of our lecture when our trainer has some ink marks on his nose (really black). And all of us are really giggling and laughing. Our trainer wondered why? And I stood up, told him to go to the CR, and gave him the tissue. And you know what? He's my boyfriend now! Just that scenario.

  OMG!  I'm cracking up.
  The first time my family met my father-in-law and step-MIL was over dinner.  My step-MIL is the verrrry prim and proper kind of lady.  I sat across from her, next to my sister and my Husband to be at the time.  She ordered a spinach salad.  HUGE piece of the leaf covered her big front tooth until she got home.  None of us had that had the direct view, had the guts or balls to tell her!  We were afraid of her!
  Halgal, I'm so sorry about the booger!

  Handing the person a note is definitely a good alternative to just tapping the nose, or moving the conversation towards it.  I wonder why I couldn't figure that out earlier.
  
  Of course, if I don't have pen and paper with me, which is most of the time when I find someone with a booger, I just pull him/her aside and tell him/her in private.

  oh man, I never though about handing someone a note to tell them they had a booger.....that would be the funniest thing ever. That would be rude actually.

• moonriver said on Nov 18, 2006....

  linzalicious say: "that would be the funniest thing ever. That would be rude actually."
  moonriver confucius say: not if it written in official stationery and memo format, like this:
  
  To: My tablemate on the right
  From: Me
  Date: Today
  Subject: Booger
  =====
  
  It has come to my attention blah blah...
  This coterie must maintain a modicum of propriety blah blah...
  Therefore, in the light of the aforementioned blah blah
  Go to bathroom with a teaspoon, and pick off those f*ng boogers before they fall and float on your soup.

  Oh man that's so sick and wrong, in a verbose and semantically gaudy manner. :P
