I bet that not so many people even noticed.Juliahttp://etiquette-tips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34038096.post-63210307899114273212012-03-29T15:37:13.164-04:002012-03-29T15:37:13.164-04:00Dear Anonymous--Assuming the poor lass could someh...Dear Anonymous--Assuming the poor lass could somehow remedy the situation (pull down her skirt, tie a sweater around her waist, change her clothing) then yes, you should absolutely tell her. thanks for reading, and thanks for writing!<br />-sgSocial Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715242748755030957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34038096.post-67762306651461727542012-03-29T14:06:52.747-04:002012-03-29T14:06:52.747-04:00I remember walking home from high school and getti...I remember walking home from high school and getting home to realize that my backpack somehow caught the bottom edge of my skirt and held onto it, so I walked home (1.5 miles!) with my skirt held high and undies showing! <br /> <br />Now I'm wondering--is telling a woman that you can see it's her time of the month something that falls into the "graces tell" or "she can't do anything about it" category?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34038096.post-46460407383101657422012-03-29T12:27:22.577-04:002012-03-29T12:27:22.577-04:00I have been there, and it is mortifying. I was at ...I have been there, and it is mortifying. I was at church on Christmas Eve and, as the youth leader, was supposed to introduce the kids' nativity pageant. This meant walking up the aisle, standing before the congregation, speaking, and then walking back to my seat. Of course, taking communion later also meant the whole up and back down the aisle thing. It wasn't until we got home that my mother, who was visiting at the time, informed me of the hole in my skirt, right over my hind end, exposing lovely floral undies to God and everyone.<br /><br />No one has mentioned it, so I may have gotten away with it, or else they are all too polite to bring it up. Doesn't matter though, I was still terribly embarrassed when I found out about it. In retrospect, however, I am glad I didn't find out about it until I was home, because there was nothing I could have done about it at the time except stress, and since I didn't know, I didn't stress and was able to enjoy the service.<br /><br />I definitely think this one goes against the "graces tell" rule unless there is something that can be done to avoid or fix the situation. And if not, hey, maybe now they have something to remember you by!Cap'n Saltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174910755129274007noreply@blogger.com
