Funky @$$ breath

reinach31

How do you tell someone you work with - they have funky @$$ breath.. If that person is older than you or someone you are not very close to..but you have to work with every day 8hrs a day..

Please help!

ROFLMAO OMG I hate that. I give them gum.

jgic2009

I wouldn't tell them, but I would frequently offer gum or mints.

TMcBooty

leave a pack of gum on their desk before they come in

daves160

Yep. Keep offering gum and breath mints.

Kristen81

I probably wouldn't. But, I would keep gum or mints on hand....when you are talking to that person, eat a mint or pop some gum in your mouth and offer. Maybe if you do that often enough he/she will get the hint.

I'm sure you've tried this, but I don't think I'd ever be comfortable going farther than the old "would you like a mint?" (or gum). I'm sure people will say to just throw it out there that they have bad breath, but I thunk that'd be nothing but awkward, and I'd personally ever do it.

Good luck!

This person doesn't need just gym or mints... it's kicking from a cubicle away! DANG

Honestly, if it was me, I would prefer you tell me. I guess it depends on the person, if they are down to earth and easy to talk to, just tell them, but since your asking us, I expect that they are not easy to talk to. lol. um... i'll be the one to give the bad advice, tell them.. lol.

One person's breath here smells so bad, I can smell it from two offices away. It is so terrible. It smells like a sneeze and a dry fart. I casually ask if they want gum. But sometimes... I just have to leave the room.

could you leave them an anonymous note maybe?

CaptainGordo

When that person comes around next time, pull this out...



They'll get the hint.

I've worked with a few people over the years who have had really bad breath. One woman's breath was so bad that my throat closed up and my eyes watered!

I think it's cattarh or not flossing that causes it. It's gross and horrible when someone with bad breath leans in to talk to you.

I think someone has got to be brave and tell these people they have unbearably stinky breath! I was told not to, that t was rude. Have you tried talking to your boss, maybe they could speak to them.

Lol.. Or leave a bottle of mouthŵash in their secret Santa!!

Use a cubicle missile launcher to launch some mints their way.

Kristen81

Maybe leave a bottle of mouth wash on his/her desk with a bow and card "xoxo the whole office". They'll get it.

My boss doesn't even want to tell this person... but it was kicking at this meeting we had with the customer.

I also think it's crazy that their partner is not saying anything... It's bad!

if its this bad and your meeting with customers .. you NEED to let someone know.. even if its someone in HR.. you dont want to jepordize loosing a customer over it

There is a bacteris than can cause chronic halitosis, but standard mouthwash won't kill it there is some stuff in the uk called retardex which kills the bacteria. I would leave a tube on their desk and hope they take the hint.

Cowardly boss, lol. Someone should speak to them. It's a health and safety issue. Their personal hygiene is causing ou distress and discomfort at work.

There's a woman in my office who doesn't bathe, or wash her clothes, or brush her teeth. She comes in to work with dirt under her nails, greasy hair all stuck up, food stains on her top (both front and back), and she reeks so bad of. Body odour that you could cut through the stink with a nice.

I complained to the manager for years, but they didnt know what to do about it. Eventually anew manager took over and spoke to her, and the problem got better.

I still wont eat anything she brings in.... As she doesn't wash her hands after using the loo.

It's horrible havin to put up with this at work!

Thank you! I'll remember that! lol

teagin2002

take an air freshener and keep it at your desk and always keep breath mints or gum on hand.
Fabreez works best for me, I spray my area before I start work and yes we have someone who smells very bad. I don't know if she can help it, you know there are some people who have some disorders. We will not confront but I do my best to make it as comfortable as possible.
Good luck!

azQmaster

Just keep asking "Whats that smell, do you smell that, I smell something" ...........in that order!
