i had to throw away a bathing suite i ADORED because i noticed it was getting VERY CLOSE to see through one day. i think I caught it before it got there, but it would have been traumatic! ;)

 

I've told a consultant twice that he had torn his pants at his bump showing his underwear through. The second time I've added the suggestion to ask Santa some new pants (it was in December).

Yet when I don't know the people and I'd have to run after them or they don't know me at all...I'd be hesitant to tell them.

 

This reminds me of those Datelines or 20/20s whatever show it is that has those "What would you do?" series. I love to watch those because I find them fascinating.

I try to say something in most cases, but I really tend to treat each situation differently. I like to think that it is being socially savvy to know when to act and when not to. Or at least that's my theory.

 

Yikes that's a tough one. From the way she was hurrying maybe she already knew it was time to retire the suit.
It was a sad day when I realized my favorite suit was ready for the trash. I knew it when I bent over and it split on the side. Thankfully it was after my swim and in the locker room.

 

I'd do exactly what you did: freeze in surprise. I think running after her would have made it worse, though, because it would draw a lot of attention to her as a woman with a stroller and pre-schooler zoom around the pool.
