jlynne: This was a question intended for the guys, only ???
It did get a chuckle out of me!.. It just struck me funny that you threaded it toward "guys only"..
Oh well!..
What do I know?
Because the problem is that other men would take offense at another man noticing that (see Boban's post) and it used to be kind of a brotherly bit of advice, so the one with the zipper down doesn't find himself humiliated. (I was at a professional conference and a very educated, dignified young man was at the podium. The speech was ruined; no one (could, really) help him out of this bad situation. His fly was W I D E open.) It was a terrible, terrible situation. He was in tears, and was suspended from his job over it. That's what I'm talking about. And, to respond to why another man would be "looking" there, gee, give it a break. One can't help but notice. Come on, folks.

I hear you!.. No offense intended.. I can see how that would be embarassing, but, the people I've known my whole life, in that situation, would mention it, the guy would turn quickly to the side, zip up, and no big deal.... It's a human error... To be suspended from your job??? Give us all a break! That was way over done and to extreme.
