Nobody likes to point out potentially embarrassing situations, but when faced with them in the office, workers are more likely to address them with their peers than with co-workers in higher or lower positions. More than 4,400 workers participated in a nationwide survey from CareerBuilder in which they were asked, given the following embarrassing situations, which of your co-workers you would tell the following:

"Your zipper is undone"
a. Same level co-worker - 67 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 62 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 50 percent

"You have something in your nose"
a. Same level co-worker - 51 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 46 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 33 percent

"You have food in your teeth or on your face"
a. Same level co-worker - 66 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 60 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 49 percent

"Your hair is messy"
a. Same level co-worker - 33 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 30 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 13 percent

"You have a stain on your clothes"
a. Same level co-worker - 51 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 47 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 34 percent

"You need a shower"
a. Same level co-worker - 28 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 28 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 11 percent

"Your apparel is not appropriate for the office"
a. Same level co-worker - 32 percent
b. Lower level co-worker - 37 percent
c. Higher level co-worker - 10 percent

Do you have a personal line that you won’t cross with a co-worker? Should some things just not be spoken about? Leave a comment with your thoughts.
