Spinach Teeth, Bugger Nose, Random Hairs

**jcasey** · June 1st, 2010

Although Im sure that this has been addressed here before, I have a question for you folks. The other day, I ate a frantic lunch of spinach salad then rushed my son off to kindergarten. I chat with the other moms whom Ive become "close" to. I get in the car, look in the mirror, and low and behold I have a rather LARGE piece of green spinach hanging from my teeth. Now its not like it was kind of hidden, it was front and center and totally obvious. And these women are supposed to be my friends. So here is my question for you....

If you are a friend, do you say something or just pray to God the dim witted moron youre talking to will eventually figure it out?

What if the "friend" has a bugger just hanging around their nose? Would you just rub YOUR nose to alert them?

And lastly, how about that random wirey hair that sneaks out of the side of your "friends" face that you know she trys to pluck when it appears, but "ooopppsss!!! there it is again!"

So do you tell? If it was me, I hope you would!!!

In the case of the spinach, I might wait till after lunch to point it out...maybe.
I also might wait till later, and ask you if you found it..actually, that's probably most likely

The booger on the other hand, I feel I'd have to mention it out loud at the table, and comment on the pride one must feel, you know, for having such an outstanding booger that it deserved to be openly displayed...and framed no less

..yeah I know, how rare is that?!
Oh, and that wild hair (of which I'm very familiar

), the best thing I think I could do, would be to just snag & yank it when you'd least expect it, kinda like that band aid thing...well, that's what me & my wild hairs are told at any rate...actually, it ain't hardly ever anything like a yanked band aid I'm here to tell ya

!
Come to think on it, I don't actually have all that many friends

I would definitely, (discreetly) tell my friend, not let them walk around the entire day carrying their little passenger!.......hey if it were me I'd want to know.

If you consider it as an act of kindness, then by all means do mention/ hand signal about the spinach or booger. It can be done in a gentle way. The facial hair- I'd let ride. She'll see it eventually and it isn't doing any harm.

I would tell them... unless I was annoyed with them, and then I might point it out in front of a group of people.

Yep, tell them right away in a discreet way.
Why not?
I`m blunt that way sometimes.

Just like I`m blunt to say that this thread should be in CT.

Freakin' Eureka!
Well hell of course, it's that I'm always annoyed

!
Don'tcha just l

ve a high quality epiphany after a good breakfast, but just before lunch

?

Yep, I'll tell them..... I don't want a friend looking like a fool....
and I certainly expect them to tell me....I don't want my friends to allow me to look like a fool either.

Pat we all love you(in a platonic or plutonic or platinum way of course)...
Any-old-hoo, since I usually tote a toothpick around behind my ear to quell the "oral/smoking" craving(though it's hard to draw on the damn things coz they smoke so little), I'd quietly suggest they might want to acquire one and(for a small price)they could use mine-sure it's prechewed on-but this IS spinach for God's sake-it always looks to me like it's been pre-digested anyway

The nose luggage? I'd be like "Hey, you got summpin' dangling out of the old snot locker!"-yeah, I'm THAT crass-but the point gets across. And that wild hair(that I've always got up someplace)-let it ride, it's no biggie(he who has plenty of facial hair)-but if it bugs you that bad, break out the Barbasol and the straight razor and have at it...

**jcasey** · June 2nd, 2010

LOLOLOLOL!!!!! Seriously though, you need to reconsider the stray hair. Nothing is more embarrassing to me than looking in the mirror after being at some stupid meeting or something, and seeing that damd hair sticking out of the side of my face.

Now what do you say to the guy/gal that has the fly unzipped? The skirt tucked into the underwear?

Im hoping to have not annoyed The Mangler by this point!
