That the button on your shirt is undone. Not just any button, but the one that gives the world a birds-eye view of your bra and the deepest center of your cleavage.
It's not like I just get in the car and go to work, I've now flashed the following:
The passengers and crew of NJT
The lovely E train passengers
The staff and patrons at Starbucks
The guys at the deli
The staff and patrons of Duane Reade
The front desk security guys in my building
I hate when days start like this..... |

And was anything more showing than you'd see in a fashion mag or on the beach? Don't worry about it! |

Speaking from way too much personal experience, this is the real reason that you should always wear clean underwear. Not that "accident" stuff your mom told you about. Make sure that your bra and/or panties fit well and are becoming on you. |

That's happened to me at work a few times. Of course, NONE of the guys I work with were helpful enough to point it out. |

No pictures. No demo. You missed the show this morning fellas. Hopefully (for my sake) no repeat performances.

LilLB, while your situation was certainly problematic, it was fixable. It is better than discovering, once you get to the office, that -- and this is, of course, purely hypothetical -- you are wearing one black shoe and one navy shoe.
This why, hypothetically, I never buy navy shoes. |

In order to properly evaluate if this is a problem, a picture is in order. Now, if you are embarassed to take the photo yourself, there are some of us who are willing to bring our cameras to help you. |

ess - I actually showed up to work in TWO TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOES one time.... I was working in one of our regional offices at the time and I walked from the hotel to the office (about a 10 minute walk). Got to the office, and realized about 1/2 hour later that I had a black slip-on flat on one foot and a lace up brown show with a slight heel on the other foot.
I blamed it on jet lag, but I can't be too sure... |

John - I think there have been enough "boob" pictures on this board to last a lifetime (re one of Las' posts). No need to add any more to that....
P37 - I'm covering up now.....just not in the way you mean it... |

Lillb's wardrobe malfunction brings up a question.
Should a stranger approach another stranger in public to apprise them of a similar wardrobe malfunction?
Does it make any difference if the strangers are of the same, or opposite, sex?
How say you Lillb?

How can there be enough boob photos? Last month, as you might already know was designated by a group of concerned men as, National Breast Awareness Month.
They constructed a slogan, "We Look Because We Care."

LilLB - of course it was jet lag!!!!
Allow me to weigh in on the wardrobe malfunction question.
As a woman, I would feel almost obligated to another woman to tell her that her, er, wardrobe was malfunctioning. I would expect the same in return.
If it were a man with the malfunction, it would depend on the severity of he malfunction before I told him, and also with my familiarity level. However, if a strange man were to inform me of a malfunction, I would probably die on the spot of embarrassment, or fear for my safety. |

Well, as a former struggling student who worked her way through high school and uni (college) by working in dress shops, I can't help but fix sticking-out labels, twisted collars or belts, or alerting to undone buttons. Most people seem surprised but grateful - a couple have been really rude and abusive. Personally I'd rather know if the back of my skirt is stuck into my knickers or pantyhose...!
I've got to work to realise that the demure, one-colour shirt I chose is totally see-through under the office lighting, and the lacy bra doesn't help matters. Bought only granny-bras for years after that. (Now back to lace and colours, thankfully!) |

I did have a man point out to me that my dress was stuck into the waistband of my knickers once.
I very much appreciated it, since I was wearing granny panties and ranting at the attendant at the Denco at the time. It's hard to intimidate someone when you are wearing granny panties. |

GT - I seem to recall the Denco story - Very, Very funny. Granny panties and all!
I agree with ess on what to do with the wardrobe malfunction. I feel an obligation to say something, but depending on the situation and gender of said offender....it depends.
I would have appreciated it if anyone had told me about the button mishap, but would have preferred it be a woman. |

I once found out about a button-gap problem only after viewing the videotape of the 4-hour training session I'd just completed. Unfortunately, it was still being used a couple of years later. |

Sorry I asked.
One poster would die, on the spot; or be in fear of her safety.
Another poster agrees with the first; but would have appreciated it anyway if anyone had told her.
What's a stranger to do?
Try to be helpful, and hope the other stranger doesn't die, on the spot or elsewhere? Take the risk that the other stranger is a looney and will start screaming for the police?
Consider me a stranger in a strange land.
TomR
P.s. to Ess: In response to a question you asked elsewhere; I think its due, in large part, to the fact that people don't read the posts to which they are purportedly responding. |

lilb,
well misery loves company, so maybe you'll feel better knowing this:
One day I went to lunch with two of my friends from work. As we got up to leave I was the last one walking out. A group of construction workers held the door open for us. My friend Michelle heard one say "Did you see what the short one was wearing?" I'm 5'1", so she knew they were talking about me but didn't give it much thought. We all get in the car - I'm still behind Michelle and Amy. I go to put on my seatbelt, look down and realize that somehow my shirt had unbuttoned itself to right below my chest. I started laughing hysterically- because really what else could I do? My only consolation was that I was wearing my favorite, prettiest bra. On the way back to the office Amy and Michelle said they wouldn't tell anyone if I didn't want them to; but within 5 minutes I gave them the go-ahead to tell. Because, honestly, if it had happened to one of them I would have hated not to be able to tell. |

I'll never forget the day i finally flirted with my office crush (this is going back at least 12 years). Diet had been going great, so I was wearing verrrryyyy fitted pants and a shirt that came down to my hips. I was walking back to my desk from the girlies room and he was walking to the mens. As we crossed each others paths, I gave him my sexiest "Hi!" and he smiled back, almost to the point of laughing. When I sat down at my desk and looked down, I noticed my zipper was WIDE OPEN!!!! Needless to say, the only thing that happened btwn me and the crush was A LOT of strategic avoidance on my part.(20/20 hindsite.......THANK G-D!!!!) |
