"could knock a buzzard..."
 

One of my colleagues has just been in my office to discuss something and for not the first time she has severe bad breath... or as a friend years ago used to say ( referring to someone else )

"her breath was so bad it could knock a buzzard off of a sh*te wagon"

would any of you kind souls have perhaps a gentler way to break this to her?

oh, Mary, are they serving shit sandwiches in the cantene again today?

Ignore everything she says and does.

Eventually, you'll hurt her feelings so badly she'll quit and slice her own throat.

Keep offering her a piece of gum.

Or say "Happy Unbirthday!!" and give her a bottle of scope tied with a bow. :lol: Or a more constructive advice would be, do what Pico suggested. Or do as I do sometimes, or often, hold your breath. Yeah, I'm not very tactful so I just don't say anything at all. :p:

Always a delicate matter. Be careful with the gum / freshening sweet option or you may end up with: "Smells like someone took a dump behind a pine tree".

I had the same kind of problem years ago. Very strong body odor, same clothes day in day out for more than a month. We tried being nice, nothing happened. Even the boss talked to him, nada. He finally resigned with a lot of theatrics about not being appreciated, etc... I believe that he didn't take too well the 3 bars of toilet soap someone left on his desk along with a scrubbing brush.





That someone being yours truly ;)

She may know. I worked with a woman who had some sort of medical condition that caused her to have alarmingly bad breath.

My daughter told me my voice smelled bad once. i Lolled


If you like her, I would actually just tell her.

"Hey, Mary.. your breath is bumpin' .... just thought you should know. are you drinking enough water?"

or, if you want to be subversive, ask her if your breath smells

or give us her email address and we could all send her emails telling her about it.

tempting... but you'd all say "grynch said...."

:rolleyes:

Ask her if she needs you to call an undertaker cuz it smells like something died in there?

This.

First you'll need a shit wagon...

See this is why I don't play well with others -I don't want to be so close to someone I can smell their breath. Me, I would move back. and back and back and back.


You could say, I'm really sorry, but you must've eaten something I'm allergic to.....

When I used to go to my old gym, I had a session or two with a trainer ....let's call him Hal

Hal Itosis.

yeah.

so... i gave him a piece of gum. he thanked me for it and set it on his desk. then he blew ass breath on me for an hour.... and when I saw him with his next appointment.... fucker was chewing my gum.
