i've often had the urge to tuck someones tag in their shirt. usually it's some girl dressed kinda slutty though and i chicken out.

That's cool---I've tucked in someone's tag before, or told them they had toilet paper stuck to their shoe....Hey, I'd want someone to help me out and let me be in the know if it were me. Maybe you're slightly the "Mother Hen" sort; which is a good thing!

I get the urge to walk up to the skater kids or the hip hop kids and yank their pants up their chins.

You should congradulate yourself on your boldness. I would definitely appreciate the gesture. "Whoa. Mary Lucia just tucked in my tag. Sweet." Is what I'd say.

LOL! I just had one of those moments on Saturday. I was running my booth at a craft sale and a very dignified older couple spent some time looking at my stuff. The gentleman's zipper was not zipped. After a few seconds consideration I decided to leave well enough alone, figuring his wife would point it out eventually.

I'm more likely to inform the person of something like that if it's a woman, I chicken out when it's a guy. I was quite grateful when another gal discreetly lets me know that my skirt is hiked up into the waistband of my pantyhose, or that I'm trailing toilet paper behind me at every step!

a number of years ago i buy a new pair of blue jeans and swore i'd taken all the tags & stickers off of them, but must have missed another sticker w/ the size tag on the back left leg.

a co-worker of mine said "so, size 34-30 eh?", and then pointed out the sticker i had missed.

i don't really get embarassed too easily, but you can bet i double check every piece of new clothing i buy nowadays just in case ;)

buy=bought, oops

I don't know how this is related to my original post but I used to live next door to this Ned Flanders type dude.
One day I was taking my garbage out and he struck up some neighborly chat with me all the while staring at my chest!
I was just about ready to school his bible study behind when I realised I was wearing my Johnny Cash t-shirt, with the famous shot of him giving the finger.
Oh well god bless you Ned.

Well, I guess it's all a matter of what you think is universal. There are many times that I have felt like telling people that they should burn every inch of clothing on their bodies, and many times I have felt the urge to include the suggestion that they remain in them at the time. However, that's a different topic. By all means, tell people that there's something wrong, if it doesn't jive with what they're doing. Just remember, chances are that they don't want your help. Why? Because, more often than not, you will meet a person who is so far from self-actualized that you'll be speaking to their defense mechanism instead of the real McCoy!

Three phrases should be among the most common in our daily usage. They are: Thank you, I am grateful and I appreciate.
