Did he know? (poss triggering)

if only I'd split some tea on it....!!
[Grin]
My thoughts too but it's easy after the event isnt it notinthemanual?

Chewbacca Maybe. But did he know? I think he did. Hmm?? Women often don't realise a breast has broken free. Now I'm not so sure.
Now I'm thinking, if only I'd spilt the tea on it I could've saved him future embarrassment.

I'm sure he must have known. I would have walked back into the room with a pair of scissors and pretended I was doing some sewing.

Could it have just been a wardrobe malfunction Notinthemanual?

I had practically the same experience. The man was installing double-glazing. I'd taken tea to him and his young helper. He was kneeling down so the legs of his shorts had ridden up and his penis was peeking out. His helper was puce so I'm certain he knew. I ignored it. Try explaining to another workman why they need to pick up a half finished job.
I was disgusted and whenever I remember this I wonder why men do that, what part of their brain is mis-wired to enjoy being repulsive?

The natural reaction to something embarrassing is to ignore it.
That, and shock at being alone with a man who may be exposing himself deliberately and may be thinking of doing more, would usually prevent the smart comments that some tell us they'd make.

But do have a good chortle, if you like.

I think as a nurse I would have frowned and said " are you getting treatment, doesn't look right " ?
He would have had a few sleepless nights wondering if you had spotted something wrong with his penis ?

Bluebelle Oh my word Janeainesworth up the anti now this lady needs professional counselling You must have all led sheltered lives
It was a tongue-in-cheek comment

I was flashed a couple of times. I can't say it did me any harm. Of course I don't condone it

Reminds me of a film. No idea what film. A couple of women walk past a guy who opens his coat, revealing himself, and asks what they think

She snappily replied 'it looks like a penis, only smaller'

Always makes me giggle

I am rather immature

I was going home on the tube with a friend of mine one evening and a man wearing quite short shorts got on. When he sat down, his penis was showing. We were very silly and kept sniggering at each other, perhaps to disguise our discomfort. I certainly wouldn't have felt like sniggering if I'd been on my own.

We discussed afterwards whether he'd deliberately exposed himself and came to the conclusion that he probably did. He looked rather anxious and flustered and so perhaps it was some sort of awful compunction he felt to expose himself.

I think if something like that happened in my home, I would not want the man to return but I can see why the OP felt uncomfortable mentioning it to her husband.

The more it is not reported, the more it will continue to happen.

It's been said numerous times, in lots of different ways, as well as asking if the OP is telling in order to get some kind of enjoyment out of shocking people.
Asking if she is new, saying what they would have done, and hinting that people are somehow too prudish to ever see mens bits. (Even if they thought they were nipping upstairs to look at a roll of wallpaper)

Re-read the thread
It’s all over here

Exactly, and why would they say anything when so many women tell them it’s not an issue and they should either get over it or told they handled it wrong and are weak?

Who said that?

I love the way people say they know exactly how they would react when confronted with a situation such as the OP described.
In reality it is far more normal for a woman to freeze, and equally normal for her to be unable to tell anyone what happened, sometimes for years, sometimes never.

I am not speaking of fragile snowflakes but strong women who you would expect to challenge whatever situation arose.

I'm all for seeing a cock, when the owner of it has checked it's ok to show it to me.
I'm amazed that women can be so dismissive.

I expect it would be different if it happened to one of your darling family members. (Excuse the pun!)

I’m still chortling at your first sentence.

BlueBelle

By the way whatever you do never watch Naked Bodies you might see a willy

Totally different
At that point you are choosing.

Not having the choice thrust upon you.

“He’s probably dead now”. So? So is Hitler. So is Churchill. So is Diana. So are many countless other everyday people. We still talk about their deeds and how they affected people.

He knew! This type of crap really makes me angry especially being the mother of three daughters.
I was a few years younger than you when I had a similar experience. I was working as a waitress. I had a guy sitting in a booth with his back up against the wall. He had his left leg up on the seat and his right leg under the table. He was wearing shorts. I believe they were red. I went up to take his order when I saw all of his junk hanging out and resting on the seat. I was young and timid back then so I didn’t do anything. If it were to happen now you can bet I would react differently. You cannot tell me he didn’t know!!

Sorry, I used the 'quote' to remind me of FarNorth's words and meant to clear it before I posted. I do agree with a recent thread that the quote boxes are annoying.

FarNorth

We are old.
We've recently had to ditch most things that made our lives interesting.
Our minds ramble about through our memories.
Strange puzzling things from the past may come to the surface, and we wonder what others would think about them.

Of course, some of us seem not to do that and content ourselves with replying snappily to those who do.

Oh well.

I'm inclined to agree with FarNorth.
Odd things from the past crop up in our rambling minds.
I didn't get the impression that the poster was traumatised but just curious about what others might think or do in such a situation.
A few surprisingly snappy answers from some who are usually much kinder.
The post reminded me that I did pass a flasher (dirty old man) on my way to work when I was in my twenties, I don't think it registered until I'd gone a few yards along the road.
Not thought about it again until now.
I'm not belittling others experiences though and intentional flashing is wrong of course.

....and on that note, over and out ( a bit like the willy).

Yes, and everyone is different.

My darling daughters are middle aged women who I sincerely hope could deal with this situation MissA without being all of a tremble.They would either pretend not to have noticed ( unless he did it again) or said what I would have said.If he had been told to do up his poppers he wouldn’t have done it again.
