I don't think Emily Post covers this...

Just a simple enough question for you all...

What's the polite way to tell an approximately 40-year-old woman behind you in line at Wal-Mart, who is chatting away on her cell phone, apparently in good health and sound mind otherwise...how do you politely inform her of...well, here's what I came up with...

"Excuse me, ma'am, but the already quite noticeable dampness in your crotchal region appears to be increasing at an alarming rate. The yellow coloration of the stain compared to your white pants, and the steadily forming puddle at your feet leads me to believe you are, in fact, urinating, and are thus far unaware of that. Perhaps you should remedy this situation in private?"

In actuality, I just stared in shock for a moment, then grabbed my items and hauled ass for another cash register, but it would have been awesome to say the above...

[crazylegs]

Um, not really sure there *is* a way without it becoming earth shatteringly embarassing. I'm sure she noticed eventually...

I knew a girl in grade school who had a medical condition that prohibited her from knowing when she had to go.

Our 6th grade classroom reeked of urine.

I didn't know Fergie shopped at Wal-Mart.

Don't they make depends for that? And if they didn't then I know they do now.

You're much more polite than I am. I would probably be like "Dude, are you pissing yourself? Guh-ross!" and then beat feet over to another checklane.

The British Duchess or the singer?

"Hey lady, it looks like you pissed yourself!"....LOL

[blas]

IPF, it's still a running gag how Fergie pissed herself on stage. Fergie aka Fergalicious Stacy Ferguson.

How about "Excuse me Ma'am, but urine trouble".

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

How about "Excuse me Ma'am, but urine trouble".

EWWWW! Wouldn't that mean that you moved past her? I wouldn't want to get anywhere near her. I mean, I guess it's possible to have an accident, so it may not be her fault, but I get grossed out easily.

How about "Excuse me Ma'am, but urine trouble".

It's probably a good thing you didn't say that, she would have been pissed!

Thank you. I'm here 'til Thursday, Try the veal and remember to tip your waitress.

Oh come on, that pun just doesn't hold water.

[Sheldonrs]

Oh come on, that pun just doesn't hold water.

Maybe if we pile sandbags around her.
