Friendly PSA

September 10, 2009

There is *no* minimum threshold to the level of friendship or relationship to another person that is required to allow one person to inform another about something stuck on a tooth or hanging from the nose. As repulsive as it may be, the viewer shouldn’t have to watch it for any length of time and the offender shouldn’t have to wonder how long they’ve been offending. Time spent tallying the number of people with whom the offender has interacted during the offending period of time could be better spent on other tasks – such as making friends who can inform them of issues like body odor or a propensity for raising annoying kids. Think of this as a public service. Tell them and move on saving everyone the awkward embarrassment.
