The friend who pulls you aside before you walk into the interview with your tag sticking out is a keeper.

What makes that friend valuable is their willingness to absorb a small awkwardness on your behalf. Telling somebody about the tag, the spinach, the thing on their face is mildly uncomfortable for about four seconds, which is why most people say nothing and let you walk into the room. Choosing the four seconds over your dignity is a real form of loyalty.

Be that person this week. Say the small awkward thing quietly and immediately, with no fuss and no joke attached, and then let it drop.
