I guess if it was a man and hubby was around, I would defer to him...he may know the "secret signal." (If it was him and not a stranger, I would just whisper in his ear). Not sure what I would do with a man.
With a woman, I may just throw her a signal (touch my shoulder for a wayward bra strap), etc. or say something quietly to her. I'm usually the one with the peekaboo bra strap.
I wouldn't mention a bra strap. There seems to be a trend today of allowing bra straps to show, so it might be intentional. Open button -- not that important. Open zipper on a man -- I'd be embarrassed to mention it. I would mention trailing toilet paper or an untied shoelace.
I'm not easily embarrassed, too many years in nursing, I guess!
I have told strangers in all these situations and will continue to do so. IMO it's not a big deal.

Of course you should tell me
Cruising together does create a bond and an openness you don't get in the outside world. It allows for a bit less reservation than in real life. It is in fact a good deed.
