What would you do?

Yesterday, while reading an article by my favorite noter,
I was laughing out loud.

The title was
"Why doesn't anyone point it out to me?"
(No link, as I might get scolded later)

It goes something like this:
After spending nearly two hours at a cafe with an acquaintance I was meeting for the second time,
I looked at my reflection in the rearview mirror on the drive home
and realized I had poop around my mouth from what I had been eating.
(In reality, it was a cappuccino with lots of chocolate powder)

~Omitted~

And she
hopes that if you encounter such a situation, you will kindly point it out.

As she mentions in the article,
it's difficult to know how to handle it depending on your relationship with the person.

Reading the article,
memories from the past come flooding back.

Nose hairto be exact.

Episode 1

A story from when I was listening to some valuable advice
from a mentor who took care of me in Canada.

I noticed that their nose hair was sticking out.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't.
If I interrupted the conversation to point it out,
I felt like I might get scolded.

I was so distracted by the nose hair
that I don't remember what the conversation was about.

Episode 2

A moment during a night out drinking with a client from when I was a ski instructor.

She was a stunning beauty that anyone would admire (along with a few others),
on top of that, she had a great personality,
and her husband was also handsome and kind.
I remember the topic was about how the two of them got married.

The reason she chose her husband to be her marriage partner.

She decided after watching how he treated his mother.
Because he would likely treat her the same way in the future.

I see.
I thought that might be true.

Just as I was hearing this good story,
I made a discovery.

That beautiful woman's protruding nose hair...

I wanted to say something, but
in the end, I couldn't.

My memory of what followed is, as you can imagine, entirely about that nose hair.

Was my decision not to point it out the right one?

Conan says, "There is only one truth," but

the correct answer remains a mystery even now.

So, I gathered my courage and

I usually can't say it, but
if someone has nose hair sticking out,
should I tell them?

I posted this question in the comments section.

Then, I received a polite reply from her.

It seems I didn't do the wrong thing after all.

I would point it out if we were friends, but

the additional service of plucking out the protruding nose hair like she does
was not included in my plan.

I don't think I could do that, as I lack the necessary training,

and since it seems interesting, I decided that next time
I will just let it slide without saying anything.

If you know of any other interesting methods, please let me know.
