                                            Open zipper

What do you do when you see that someone’s fly is open? Do you let the person know, even though it’s so embarrassing?

I think you should definitely speak up about this or any other problem (a tag sticking out, a piece of food on someone’s face, etc.) that can easily be remedied. Even if the person is embarrassed, he or she will no doubt be grateful for a chance to zip up – before even more people notice.
