Thanks for your workplace story. I’m going to post another story from my favorite past experiences of dealing with other women with their zipper open. This one happened at my job so perhaps my thoughts might give you an idea or two of what your coworkers might be thinking (except for Suzy) when they see your open zipper.

Before my new post mentioned above, I will reply to your last entry concerning the following quotes from your story:

Quote #1
“I sometimes wonder if it looks blatantly open…….Let me know your impression because I’ve always wondered.”

For strangers I see in public for one time (such as a mall) I usually assume that an open zipper is an accident regardless of how wide open or embarrassing it looks. The only things that would make me suspicious or even assume that it was deliberate would be if the person was not wearing underwear (for a woman), showing private parts (for a man), or repeatedly reaching their hands in both pockets unless it was pretty cold (which would serve to keep the zipper as open as possible).

As for family, friends, coworkers, or strangers I would see many times (such as workers at a grocery store that I normally shop at) this changes things a bit. The above rules still apply. In addition, if I see their zipper open on the same pair of jeans, etc. more than twice, I do wonder if it is deliberate or not. In my experience most people are not that careless or get embarrassed enough to make sure it is up. Given that, when I see someone with their zipper open for the third, fourth, or beyond time on the same pair of short, etc. I conclude that it is almost certain that they either are leaving it open on purpose or more likely that the zipper on that piece of clothing is defective and will unzip itself. Hence, when this occurs, I look to see if I can notice the zipper unzipping by itself or not.

There was once a female janitor at my job who wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans (standard attire for her job) and I noticed more than once that the zipper on one of the blue jeans she wore was open about half the time (I never did see her underwear). I saw her in those jeans for a good two months (afterwards she stopped wearing them). One day during those two month I walked into the hallway she was on, saw her talking to two other janitors, and noticed that her zipper was about half-way down. I decided to hang out there for a moment or two and pretended to check my work phone for emails. While doing this I saw that her zipper was slowly going down in reaction to her stomach pushing against it while she was breathing and talking. Hence, I knew that she simply was wearing jeans with a faulty zipper.

If you have a pair of slacks, etc. that you can wear to work that has a faulty zipper that slowly unzips itself I would say to wear that and you should have no issue going around unzipped as much as you want without raising any suspicion. Try and sag the shorts, etc. so that the zipper will spread as wide as it can when it opens. And if a coworker does get on to you about it you can just blame the zipper for being faulty.

Quote #2
“……one good Samaritan actually did tell me during that hour, catching me when no one else was around. I just feigned embarrassment, hid behind the register and pretended to zip up……”

I would have loved to have heard if this good Samaritan, was a man or woman, had sounded nervous while telling you, and if you noticed the person waiting to catch you in private (I believe that your Samaritan did this to try and not embarrass you), or the person’s initial reaction to seeing your open zipper if you noticed.

I do understand that it was the manager’s reaction that got you excited and hence that is what you remembered best. If you have stories involving good Samaritans, specifically women, and their reactions I would love to read them.

Quote #3
“It’s hard to say what the appeal of leaving my zipper wide open in public is,……”

I think you covered the appeal for yourself well enough; humiliation, embarrassment, along with the fact that it turns you on sexually. As long as it works for you, who cares what anyone else thinks.

I will say that the show you put on sounds quite embarrassing and hence works well for you. Reading your story I only once ever found myself feeling more embarrassed for a guy that I saw with an open zipper than I would have felt if I had seen you there (and no, his private parts were not showing which is good since that could have gotten him arrested). In his case he was at Walmart walking from the electronics section towards the front of the store down the main aisle. It seemed to me that he must have just used the restroom and I do believe that he was genuinely unaware of his zipper being as wide open as possible. His zipper was open like yours except that the opening was more circular (about four or five inches across). He was wearing light blue jeans and bright red underwear. Unlike your underwear, he was wearing briefs which wrapped around his large flaccid penis and balls making the size and shape clear to anyone looking at him. For the first time in many years I actually gawked at seeing him while thinking to myself, “Oh my God! That poor guy.” And feeling extreme embarrassment for him.

Normally I would let someone know if they had left their zipper open but in that moment I was just too embarrassed to say anything to him (even though he and I were well out of earshot of anyone else). It is one of those rare moments that I wish I had told someone about their open zipper when I didn’t.
