Yes, please tell me so I can go change
No, it's embarrassing when a guy tells you that
YOU WANT THE LADDER TO PAINT YOUR ROOF OR WHAT? 🏠🏴☠️

It’s not embarrassing but it does piss me off.
I don’t carry spare tights with me. If they break then fine, I’ll toss them when I get home. But for people to repeatedly point it out I’m like “Jesus Christ, you mean my legs aren’t naturally a completely different and stupidly stretchy part of my skin? With a hole in it?” It’s like if you had a hole in your trousers and I repeatedly pointed it out. You don’t carry spare trousers.
At some point us ladies need to stop carrying half a bloody bedroom with us. Make up, tampons, pads, pants, shoes, gym kit, and now a spare work outfit, bra, hairbrush, hairdryer, shower head, deodorant, perfume, socks, dressing gown, duvet, spare pillow...
Oh... no room for my keys. Oh well, I’ve got the contents of the house with me already “in case of emergency”
Oh gosh, I now understand why the joke is made that a "handbag" is actually an abbreviation of "hand baggage" :o
You're totally right of course!
One of the reasons for asking this is that it sometimes happens at work, with collegues you're rather close to. We often look at each other as collegues and ask ourselves if she'd appreciate if we told her.
On the occasions when we did, the girls were often surprised, thanked us and apologized to the bathroom. Some confirmed they knew and that it was okay for the day.
No one reacted in an angry way so far :D
I don’t mind someone pointing it out. I mind it being repeatedly. One of my jobs required for me to change them (I was in a shop, we sold them) but they aren’t cheap! We ended up finding ways to “bodge” them; all eg, if you get nail polish (clear if possible) and make a small knot/ball over the hole and apply it glues it shut. Nail polish around to strength.
We found this out cause nail polish was about a third of the price of tights lol
Haha I remember you told me before :D
You would be lucky going out with me than: I like tights but I've never minder a ladder.
Saw my mom wear them since I was young and she regularly had a ladder. Got used to it, ladders catch my attention but in a positive way :D
Gosh, I'm gonne start a collection of ladders hahaha!
You can just tell a fellow lady passerby to convey the message
Yeah girls love to be told when something they're wearing has a problem with it🤨
I need the ladder to stand tall enuf to do the roof !

My guess from the women I've known is that if she's my partner or a friend that knows me well then she would want me to tell her. If I'm just a casual acquaintance or a stranger then she probably doesn't.
It will be interesting to see what the responses are though.
Generally speaking I probably either know or there’s nothing I can do about it anyway. If I know you well I’m fine with it. If I don’t know you well then I’m probably preferring you just keep it to yourself
I'm pretty sure if any of us gets a run we will be aware of it. No need to point it out along with the other 20 people who happen to mention it too.
Rule of thumb: if someone has an issue they can hide and or fix immediately then pull them aside and tell them. If it’s a problem that they’re going to be stuck with the rest of the day... ignorance is bliss.
Yeah, that's true... if you're about to go to a marriage you probably carry a spare and would like to know to go change and solve it.
If it's just at college and there is a good chance you had already decided they're okay for the day than it would only be embarrassing if I told you :o
My favourite thing about this thread is that there are at least half a dozen answers which are all fantastic and perfectly reasonable answers but there is no consensus what so ever!
What a great question :)
Still pissing into the wind regarding an answer though! ;)
Haha yeah, since if the girls find it embarrassing to have a run (ladder) they want to know.
If they find it embarrassing we noticed it, they want us to shut up.
There are simple two different situations.
My conclusion is: if it's at a formal occasion and she probably carries a spare, and she'd someone who knows me well enough, I'll tell her.
If not, I'll at least initially not tell her and maybe judge later.
Do people actually wear them any more? I think those things were invented for torture purposes.
I think it would be ok to discreetly tell a woman. Maybe a little note handed to her.
Be forewarned some women are going to get testy like you were checking out their legs.
They help keep yoy warm and make your kegs look nicer
I don't wear tights , it blocks your pores and gives ingrown hairs. I wear loose clothing. If I am really cold I'll wear very loose leggings. To me my health is more important than my looks.
Yeah I find it helped that I leave my legs bare
Well women are too busy doing unncessary stuff why would they have any self realisations.
:-D :-P
Yes. Things happen unexpectedly and there is a possibility that i may be unaware so yes, please tell me.
Why are you laughing it's not funny😢
Nah. I probably already know and anyway, what can I really do about it?
@Guffrus No woman I know has a spare pare of tights, I'm gonna guess that 90% of women will not carry spare tights with them, same way guys don't generally carry spare trousers. If there's a rip, you're just making me aware of it but there's nothing I can actually do to fix it so there's no point telling me :P
I would guess that if you just wear them to an administrative job or to college for example, it wouldn't matter too much. Maybe, but I don't know much about that, if they would be ridiculously broken you could go without for the rest of the day.
It's probably more important to be informed when the girl is at a formal occasion. If she's a hostess at an event and has a run, she'll probably be among the 10% to carry a spare pair :D
@Guffrus Yeah, I got that the first time you said it, dont worry
@Hans22 usually if I'm wearing tights, it's because I wouldn't feel comfortable in that outfit without them, probably would expose too much skin or wouod simply be cold. Ladders aren't a big deal so I'd probably rather deal with the ladder than take them off.
Most of the time we do know. But it's not a huge hazard that stops females from wearing stockings apparently.
Indeed not. I have to admit I like the look and feel of them so for me the ladies don't need to stop :D
Conclusion so far is that a slight majority of ladies want us to tell. Probably the most when they're on their way to a formal occasion.
In other situations they don't seem to care too much and seem to keep them on for the day.
Probably not. That's something we'd most likely already be aware of.
There isn't much we can do till we are home. So keep it to yourself
I always have a couple of reloads in my drawer at work :)
No. I would already know so you don't need to tell me. 🤔🧐🤨
Would you also know if it's in a place that's harder to see for you, like the rear of your knee? That's not visible when you sit or walk, except for those coming up behind.
It's always a hard decision: if you're on your way to meeting your customer or taking your exam you may be grateful if I tell you and you can go change just in time.
If you already knew, I can imagine that it would be irritating or you would feel obliged to go change even if you planned to keep them on for the day :o
Depends on how well I know the guy. If we’re good friends it’s okay. If I hardly know him, it’s creepy
I Don't get why people are acting as if it's an issue?
It's mildly annoying yes, but I don't really care that much if I have a ladder. If I do I probably know about it and there's nothing I can do
I guess it depends on if it's a formal occasion or not - if it's just at college or at work doing administrative work it's probably no thing.
But if you're a management assistant about to enter a meeting with management you may want to know (I guess they generally carry a spare...).
I would probably tell you to get some psychological help
I don't know. I think I would like to know. But I don't wear them much.
Usually it depends on if I already know or not. If people keep telling me and I already know it can get irritated
Yes, definitely tell me. But not in front of everybody, I'll usually just fix the issue by taking off the pantyhose or getting changed into the spare I have in my bag constantly
I defintely will. Nice you mentioned "not in front of everyone". I'll have to find a way to get the girl away from the group.
It's funny that even as a minor you already have a spare on you. I know ladies who need to wear them to work or formal occasions do that, but at your age it must be rare :D
I don't really wear them
Maybe once in a blue moon
What will happen
Oh ok
