    Lol take out a pack of gum, put a piece in your mouth and then offer her one. Don't just randomly be like "do you want some gum"..

    Offer her some gum or breath mints....every single day.... On the days she doesn't take one don't sit and chat with her...lol

    Maybe after awhile she'll take the hint.

    You can do one of two things:

    1 ) Cover her mouth for her, then say "If I can breath out of my nose, so can you."

    Or

    2) Wear dark sunglasses and pretend you're blind and act like you can't see her face. Then take toilet paper and wipe her mouth. When she asks what you're doing say "Apparently I forgot to wipe my *kitten* this morning, because it sure does stink!"

    I vote number 2. Make sure you get it on camera too.

    Don't tell her, there is no way to do it without completely embarrassing her. Just move on.

    Why offer her tic-tacs or chewing gum? That doesn't fix the issue...I know I come off as too blunt sometimes...but hey keep it real...

    Tell her about it...advise her to look into getting to the bottom of it...

    Giving her tic-tacs and chewing gum only fixes it when you are around...Set her up to be able to have it fixed for life.

    I am just saying

    Send her an anonymous care package to the office - tic tacs, mouthwash, breath spray, gum, floss, and a tongue scraper.

    Definitely offer her gum or some kind of mint... whenever she comes around. Just partake in it yourself so it doesn't seem like you are doing it in a less than friendly manner.

    We had someone who worked here who's breath smelled like she ate manure for every meal.

    HR wouldn't let me put a toothbrush and toothpaste (discreetly mind you) on her desk as a hint so I just happened to pull her name for secret santa one year. I bought her a big thing of mints, thought she'd take the hint. Nope, she proceeded to hand them out to everyone else...didn't use one of them! We also tried the gum tactic but she declined every stinking time. No pun intended. LOL

    Thankfully she's not here anymore......but on that note, I just ate some tomatoes, avocados and onions. Time for me to break out the gum! :happy:

    Eat some garlic before walk in to work. Lean in real close and say, "Do you have any gum or mints?"

    Everyday I come to the office there's this beautiful girl I talk with, just chit-chat and bs for a little bit. The problem i'm having is her breath smells like she gargles with sewer water twice before she comes in and I just can't take it anymore.

    I want to tell her without offending her or embarrassing her, how do I do this?

    Send her tic-tac's

    ^ The most appropriate, best way possible!

    You don't. Go to a member of management and have them address it. You remove yourself from the equation and you don't have to worry about offending or embarrasing her. Besides, she could have a medical condition that causes it and do you really want to be the one to put her on the spot like that? More than likely she already knows about it and is probaly self-consious as it is. Whether she is aware of it or not though, most companies would prefer that a member of management handle the situation so that it can be done appropriately and avoid any type of issues (which trust me, can arise if the situation is not handled appropriately).

    Carry a "breath-o-meter" in with you and have it set to "stanks" when you meet up again.

    Give her some of that 12 hour mouthwash...

    Works wonders.
