In the past I've had no worry in telling someone if something was wrong. I don't like the thought of them being laughed at or worse.

I remember one very beautiful young girl/woman was walking across a road in busy Chatswood in NSW and she was dressed beautifully too. As I saw her step onto the kerb I noticed what every woman fears the most, she had been "caught short" and the telltale stain was on her skirt.

I just very quietly caught up with her and said "I don't mean to be rude but your have a fresh stain on your skirt" she was at once both mortified and very grateful because she was going to an acting interview (what ever they are called) and needed to be impeccably presented. She was able to fix that before it turned into a disaster.

But everyone else walked behind her staring and laughing. I thought that was just an awful thing to do. That girl is now a regular on a TV show here in Australia and I smile every time I see her because she had time to go home and change and got the job.

There is cruelty in just letting someone walk away in an embarrassing situation, I can't understand it, but to each their own decision.
