Would you tell him he has a price sticker on his crotch?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) November 23rd, 2015

Your in a local (pretty low traffic) store and you notice that the newest employee, an attractive young man, has gotten a bright white price sticker stuck to the crotch of his khaki chinos. You frequent the store a lot and at any given time there are about 6 employees.

Would you point it out to him, and why or why not?
How?

This is a real dilemma I faced.

Yes. You don’t have to say “on your crotch”. You can say, “excuse me, you seemed to have gotten a price sticker stuck on your pants.”

That’s it. It is no more difficult than telling someone. “you have spinach stuck on your tooth” or “you have ketchup on your cheek”.

People get much more upset if they find you didn’t tell them.

I would tell him as discreetly as possible, perhaps even hand him a note.

I would say something, and then just quickly move on.

The real question—was he marked down or was he at full price?

I’d stand about 4 feet from him and say, a bit too loudly, ”$6.99? That’s a bargain, cutie.” and then wink at him and walk away.

~And then I would ask him if his hand has ever inadvertently touched his dental technician’s voluptuous breast during an exam.

@Cupcake I wonder if he’d like the comment, or be embarrassed?

Cupcake's avatar

@Dutchess_III Well, that’s what I’d think about saying anyway. I wouldn’t actually say it.

He’d probably either turn beet red and avoid me at all costs or ask me out on a date.

I’d tell him he must be a wanted man, he’s gotta price on his penis head.

Crotch is one of the worst words ever.

I’d tell him his crotch should be priceless.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’d ask him if the price was per inch.

Simply look the other way while putting your hand on his crotch to remove the label. You won’t have to say anything thus avoiding any embarrassment. You can then give him a smile and move on.

Rather than reaching over and jerking it off?

Not sure. I want to say I’d say something, but I would also be slightly worried he’d think I had been staring at his crotch. However, letting him know would probably win out. After all, most people notice a splotch of color against another solid background, even if they’re looking elsewhere. It’s the same reason people notice spiders across the room, on the ceiling, when they aren’t looking anywhere near it.

If the store had low traffic and only 6 employees, then maybe I would give it a go. I would come close to him and said quietly something like “you got something on your pants”. It also depends on how big the price tag is. Is it too small to be noticed generally, or to the point that the employee looks like he’s actually a sold product? He could be pissed off and get the wrong idea that all I looked at the whole time was his pants, if the price tag was too small.

I totally chickened out, @DrasticDreamer, @Mimishu1995
I mean, he was working with 4 women of various ages, let one of them mention it to him.

I wish I’d thought of doing as @zenvelo said. He would have instinctively looked down and there’s no way he would have missed it.

“look the other way while putting your hand on his crotch” “Rather than reaching over and jerking it off?” literally made me LOL.

“was he marked down”, ”$6.99? That’s a bargain, cutie.”, “wanted man”, “crotch should be priceless.”, “per inch?”

Clever, clever people here. I was hoping we’d get some fun out of it.
And that’s why I included attractive.

I’d tell him the same way I drop a clue to someone who wasn’t zipped up.

I’d tell him I had a riddle. How do birds get around ? When he answers “Fly” I’d tell him to take the price sticker off of his.

A little humor goes a long way toward relieving embarrassing situations :)

rojo's avatar

Sure, why not. I might even mention that I think “that” (Pointing down) is a little expensive and ask if it was going on sale on Black Friday.

Dutchess_III's avatar

@Buttonstc One time, at church, one of the church members said to me, “The cow’s getting out of the barn.”
I had no clue what the hell he was talking about. He finally told me straight forwardly that my fly was down.
I still think that was a dumb thing to say to a female, don’t you?

Buttonstc's avatar

@Dutchess

Yeah, that was more than just a little oblique.

Do you remember the episode of Friends where a new guy was sitting on the couch wearing shorts which were rather loose fitting and revealed just a bit too much? They’re all whispering to each other on how to let him know. Finally the waiter (I think his name was Gunther) comes over and says to the guy, “Hey, Dude, the mouse is out of the house. Take care of it.”

I thought that was a clever way of putting it :)

Dutchess_III's avatar

That’s happened to me before. Back in the 70’s guys wore those awful, short, loose shorts, kind of split up the sides.
In 1996 or 96 I went out on a blind date with a guy my sister had set me up with. The second time we got together we went and played volley ball. He was a ball hog, assumed I didn’t know what I was doing, although I had told him that I played competitive co-ed. But I was a girl, see. As far as I was concerned that ended any future right then and there.
Anyway, we went back to his place for dinner. I took a shower, then he took a shower. I swear, I thought, “If he comes out in those nasty, short 70’s shorts, I’m leaving!”
Guess what….it was so gross. He had to have known it was hanging out. Maybe he thought I’d get excited.
I left right after dinner.
