Quandary: Should I tell a friend about a wayward chin hair and, if so, how? Sure, it's mortifying to hear but, if the tables were turned, I'd want to know.

Solution: When it comes to telling someone something they don't want to hear, knowledge is power, whether they have lipstick on their teeth, look awful in an outfit or have something coming out of their nose, "it helps to have advance insight about whether or not they want to know those types of things," says Post matter-of-factly. "I try to make a mental note when friends say things like, 'If I ever have blank, please tell me.' Broaching the subject ahead of time can really save a lot of squirming about what to do."

If you don't have any advance insight as to how to proceed with a friend, do it gingerly or not at all says Post. "Take her aside and let her know you're telling her because you're her friend. Turn it into a 'girl power' moment."

Next: How to handle the bathroom attendant

See Next Page: Quandary: One of my favorite restaurants employs a bathroom attendant who pretty much forces you to dry your hands with the paper towel she hands you. Sometimes I'll use the hand cream, but do I need to tip her for this "service" I didn't ask for?

@ JustIris30...just to let you know that your friend is horribly wrong,one of the first and essential things to know about applying any perfume is NEVER to rub the place where the perfume was spritzed on! Never ever because it destroys the molecules of the perfume itself and it will not be the same smell nor intensity it should and could be! That is a complete no-no! Inform yourself and your friend!
