WHEN TO SAY SOMETHING AND WHEN TO SHUT UP!! You are welcome!

HERE'S A SIMPLE GUIDE TO HELP YOU KNOW WHEN TO SPEAK UP . . . AND WHEN TO SHUT UP:


Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you weren't sure if it was socially acceptable or not . . . to tell someone they stink? Or that you can see through their shirt? Or that they have something dangling from their nostril?


--I have, and I'm guessing you have too. With that in mind, here's a simple guide to let you know when you should speak up . . . and when you should shut up.


--SAY SOMETHING WHEN:


#1.) Someone has food on their face or stuck between their teeth: Wouldn't you want to know if you were walking around with barbecue sauce on your chin? Of course you would. We all would. So go ahead and let them know.


#2.) Someone is making offensive comments: But be careful. If you don't handle this situation with a certain amount of sensitivity . . . they could get upset and turn on you.


#3.) Someone has bad breath: You know, assuming they aren't a complete stranger. And maybe give them a breath mint too.


#4.) Someone has something dangling from their nose: Just slip them a tissue and let them know which side it's on. They'll probably be a little embarrassed . . . but they'll appreciate the heads up too.

--*DON'T* SAY SOMETHING WHEN:

#1.) You think someone looks pregnant . . . but you're not sure if she actually is: Why? Because if she's not pregnant, you just insulted her. Good work, jerk.


#2.) Someone has B.O.: If you tell someone they stink . . . they're going to be offended. In other words, you can only tell someone they have B.O. . . . if you're already close friends with them. Otherwise, it's a no-no.
