Dragon breath and close talkers....

I CAN'T HANDLE PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON TALKING CLOSE AND HAVE THE WORST BREATH ON THE PLANET.

How do you politely tell someone with halitosis that they don't smell very good and not to talk so close? Seriously.

I find myself slowly backing away, and I don't want to hurt feelings. But seriously, if they get any closer, I might puke on their shoes.

*puke*

I think that if you have the balls to tell someone they should appreciate it. If it is effecting you then chances are it effects other people.
9 times out of 10 they will take it the wrong way but really your only helping the person.

Either that or give them some listerine pocket strips and hope they get the hint :)

Next time you are out, come introduce yourself to me. Then when you do, I am going to tell you how much you stink, and discreetly hand you something to help with the smell.

Seriously, I have some class and tact. I may be a bitch, but I would never try to give someone a complex, because lord knows that it would give me one.

werd. sometimes you gotta ask: wtf pooped in your mouth and didn't flush?

nah, most of the time I just pop some gum in my mouth then causualy ask... want a piece?

wouldn't you rather be told you smell terrible by someone you don't know then walk around smelling terrible all day and not knowing it?

Nah - ignorance is bliss. It makes it worse with people you are professional with, cause they feel they are comfortable enough to talk close, but you aren't close enough to tell them they stink.

Avana,

First off WTF, i try to respond with an answer and do so as intelligently as I can and you still find a way to turn it around and being a douchbag about it

I totally agree with you!
it takes balls to tell someone that they smell, but in the end, that person will appreciate it. I know I would.

[Akeel]

everyone in this thread smells.


except me.

i use a 200 dollar tooth brush.

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

Depending who that person is..(friend, relative, etc) I would politely let them know they should eat some of my breath freshening gum. Other than that..I would suck it up and try to back the fuck up.




Avana stop picking on pussykat. =)

[Carrie]

I have not brushed my teeth this morning, I probably have the worst breathe right now.

Note to Self: remember to listerine!

You should totally re-evaluate that what that $200 toothbrush is doing for you. :P

Lauren, I pick on her no more than everyone else on the site. Besides, it is only the internet.

[LeeBrat]

haha, oh god, my grandmother does that (though she doesnt have the bad breath part) but she gets so close when shes talking you, like inches away from your face. i love her dearly, but it sure is frusterating

[C_squared]

I need to quote my senile grandma on this:

"people w/ foul breath, they're, they're always the ones talking a lot of shit."

weird old ppl always have strange, old school fashioned analogies that don't make any sense yet they're fucking hilarious.

[LeeBrat]

^^^haha, thast awsome :p

there's a guy at work.
he works hard, sometimes.
and when he does, i avoid being near him.
i think he's got something against deoderant.
it's rough since i work in a barn and still can smell his overwhelming odor.

Hey people, learn how to offer gum/mint. Have it handy just in case this happens.

Annoying thing along the same vein: The woman who sits behind me wearing WAAAY too much perfume... like she's gonna mask her fat with her smell or something... (and I'm talking orca fat here...)

that reminds me of a muchmoremusic show about anna nicole smith.
one person who was interviewed said "69lbs! that's like a manatee" after they were infomed of how much weight she lost.

I say if ur good friends with them and u know they will just brush it off and laugh about it then yeah do them the favour and tell em.
If u aren't close to them or whatever probably best to keep ur mouth shut and don't embarass them. I'd be too embarassed to tell them anyways!
