One good turn deserves another

So have you ever had a piece of tissue stuck to your shoe, food in your teeth or your hair sticking straight up on your head? I sure have and I have found it rare for someone to actually be nice and let you know, so you don't look stupid. Someone at a football game told me that I had something stuck in my teeth, and he had to be the 100th person I saw by the time the food was "noticed." Why do we have such a hard time telling people when something is wrong with them that can be fixed even though it may be embarrassing for them and for you. Is it really embarrassment or do we feel like its none of our business, or someone else will tell them. Since the guy at the game filled me in on my cruddy teeth, I have tried to make a better effort to help other people in their appearance ignorance, cause sometimes you just don't know. Like the time in 8th grade when I walked to the bus stop with my hair bonnet on. No one said anything to me and it was only until another classmate came to the bus stop and looked at me funny, did I realize I had my hair bonnet on. Oops! Tee hee hee! Today, there was a lady in my training class whose hair was sticking straight up and made her look very sloppy. I got up during break and brushed it down. She may have been slightly embarrassed, but not as much as if she had gotten home tonight or went on a date right after work and realized that her hair was sticking up all day and no one bothered to tell her, but clearly SAW it sticking up. Sometimes I believe people hate on you and don't tell you on purpose, maybe because they think its funny. Whatever the reason, let me know when I'm looking jacked up or I have a giant "boogie" hanging out of my nose, TELL ME!! I won't be mad....unless you don't!
