Is there an appropriate way to tell a man that his fly is open?

Tracy said...: All you need to say is "XYZ PDQ."

Examine Your Zipper Pretty Darn Quick.

Or just get right to the point and say, "Your fly is down."; 9:08 AM
Unknown said...: Mom, do you really need our help on this one?

I guess I don't care if it's open if I don't know the guy. I would feel more ill -at -ease telling him than not telling him.
If it's someone I do know, they will get a prompt and to-the-point- "Check your pants" and that is all.; 12:13 PM
Unknown said...: And I am obviously not very appropriate.; 12:14 PM
MarkEC said...: I just say "hey" and point with my finger... oh wait.. that is for food on the face. Never mind.; 12:52 PM
Mom said...: Tracy, that works if the guy is someone I know and am comfortable with. Remember Dr J, my boss, I felt uncomfortable when it was him. I think he wold have been real embarrassed, but i was uncomfortable. Or an older, dignified man - no I'd rather not mention it. Friends and family just get told.; 2:19 PM
Simon said...: You could go the over-the-top response - Sceam "Oh My Lord!" And point at his groin as though it was giving birth to some sort of hideous monster. Or look down, then look back in his eyes and say "is that an offer?" I know one of my responses is usually "The cage may be open, but the beast is asleep" but then Im a nasty little Englander... hehe; 12:05 AM
Mom said...: Good answers, Simon.; 10:32 AM
