Dear Prudence,
I’ve recently been forced to sit behind several people who seemed to have forgotten their belts that day—think spending four hours at a business conference behind two people from separate groups that were almost entirely exposed. Maybe I’m just a bit anal, but it grosses me out to the point of anxiety to see exposed plumbers’ cracks. In the future, should I say something to these people directly? Ask someone running the event/restaurant to ask them to un-expose themselves? Help!
