The accidental flasher
| 
Jul 29 17:08 UTC 1994 |
You're in the check-out line at a store. The cashier
bends forward to get a paper bag and you suddenly find
yourself looking down her scoop-neck jersey at her left
breast, nipple and all. It's obvious that this will
continue to happen for the rest of the day every time she
bends forward to get a paper bag. What do you do?

(Ignore it. Even if she didn't plan it that way, it's no "worse" than,
say, breastfeeding in public. NBD.)

I think I'd ignore it. Even if I thought I should say something I would
probably be too embarrassed to.

This was a lunch table story at work. The person who
told it is female. She herself didn't hesitate to
caution the cashier - she said she asked her, "Do you
know what happens when you bend over in that?" and that's
all it took. She was convinced that no mere man would
have said a word, either because he was too embarrassed
or else because he was enjoying the view too much.
That's why I wanted to enter this here.
If it was someone like the cashiers at the local Kroger
that I see all the time and am on buddy-buddy terms with,
I guess I would say something. Otherwise, no. Which
bothers me, because if I were in that cashier's place I'd
want to be told by the very first person who noticed, no
matter who it was.

Being male, I would feel embarassed and possibly
the cashier could consider my pointing this out
something sexual and possibly harassive?

Maybe I should wait for female Grexers to answer the question before
making this judgement, but I would imagine people are proably far more
likely to point out something like that when it is somebody of their own
sex. I think I would probably be far more likely to point out that a male
had his fly unzipped or something.

I don't know about other female Grexers, but I think I'd try to tell her, as
discreetly as possible. It would be a little embarrassing, but it would be
even more embarrassing for *her* later on if I didn't. I agree, though, that
it does seem like it would be easier to mention something like that to a woman
(that is, someone of one's own sex.) I'm not sure I'd have the courage to
say something to a man in a similar situation.

I'd not make a bit deal about it but I would let her know how
exposed she was. I'd let a man know about a fly being open.
It would be more fun letting a man know about his fly than a
woman about her chest. ;-)

This has come up, obviously. I'm inclined to be shy & timid, & I chicken
out. If it's someone I know, I'm much more likely to say something.
(This all goes just as much for the your-slip-is-showing and you-have-a-
button-open-in-back scenarios as for the one at issue.) I once had a
stranger (female, at that) tell me that I had a seam coming unstitched in
a location invisible to me, & I appreciated it - but I'd find it very hard
to do likewise.

I think I'd be too surprised and embarrassed to say anything.

(the scenario still gives the impression to me that the person in question
planned for her clothing to expose her in such a manner, and thus is fully
aware of it.)

re #1 -- if by "no 'worse' than" you mean "no more of an
immodest display than" (or equivalent), then your generalization
is certainly inaccurate. Or do you think that breastfeeding is
inherently immodest even if nobody (except mother & baby) knows
it's going on? (pardon my drift)

(I meant that it's only an exposure of skin, and it shouldn't be
embarrassing in the slightest.)

(FYI, given an experienced & cooperative baby, & suitable clothes,
breastfeeding can be conducted so that the casual observer will
probably not see any skin)

(however, I'm sure the pervert would get off just imagining a bare breast,
even if it was used the way Mother Nature intended. I think it could only
become sexual in the mind.)

I'd probably only tell them if they were someone I could identify with
in some way, or who wasn't physically threatening. Don't know why. But as a
knee-jerk response, it would probably take a while for me to work up enough
courage to tell them. I'd probably end up not telling them in the end. As long
as they remain unaware of it, they won't be embarressed... I supose it would be
trying to decide if they would rather know now, and just have to worry about
all the people that morning who had seen her, or if I should just hope that she
wouldn't notice and no-one would tell her, or assume that someone *later* would
tell her so I ought to tell her now just so that she would know of a lesser
number of people who had seen her. ....

This reminds me of one Price is Right show... Bob Barker would definitely
say something. In fact, one show a fine young contestant came bouncing down
to contestant's row in a somewhat skimpy halter top. Sir Bob made a special
point to caution her regarding potential pitfalls in celebrating bidding
victories, advising her that a few years back (from that show) a similarly
clad (and built) lass had shaken herself right out of her halter top in
her excitement, right there on national television. No kidding!

Well as long as it wasn't that busy at the store I'd casually let her know.
Believe it or not *laugh* humans have subtle gestures they can use to "say"
things to each other.

How do you "casually" let someone know her tits are exposed to the elements?
