As I'm at work that could get a bit controversial.

Just pull the wires on both sides out so you’re even. You don’t want one up tit and one down tit

you'll have to get it out asap as they can be dangerous

If I manage to stab myself we have paramedics on site so I should survive. Do you think I could claim it under workcover as a workplace injury?

the rough sharp ends will cut through the lining and then start cutting you

It's ok, it was getting a bit stabby but the whole thing was off as soon as I got to my car to go home. I don't think I could have pulled the wire out without major bra surgery unfortunately - although if I hadn't been about to go home anyway I probably would have resorted to that.

Ah bugger! I've never actually snapped one, just had that slow extrusion of one side out through a tiny gap, a millimetre at a time until my boob is being uncomfortably prodded.

I've had that a few times, and one time the wire just worked it's way out the side so far it was basically an overwire!
