Ok, it's not so much a dilemma anymore, because it's over, but I wonder if I should have done something differently.
I was at the checkout at IKEA about a month ago. (For the uninitiated, once you're at the checkout at IKEA, you've already had to wander both floors of the whole store--they put you on a kind of track.)
At the checkout, I looked at the woman in front of me.
She was wearing tight yoga pants. REALLY tight yoga pants. Even that doesn't explain. The yoga pants were so ill-fitting that the top half of her ass was hanging out of them (no underpants). I'm not exaggerating. HALF of her ass in the wind. And she didn't know. DIDN'T KNOW! (Though how she couldn't notice a breeze back there, I have no idea.)
I thought about stopping her and telling her (though, frankly, I couldn't puzzle out a nice way to say "Excuse me, half of your ass is hanging out of your pants."), but then I thought she's realllllly close to getting to her car. And maybe she could get to her car in blissful ignorance.
If I told her, she'd be stuck with the knowledge that she'd walked over a mile through a store like that.
HOW COULD SHE NOT KNOW???
So I stayed silent.
What would you have done?
Also, how could she not know?
