Talkin with SOmeone With Bad BREATHE!!!
1 year 5 months ago
I kinda woke up awhile ago and realize my breathe smells like a dead rat or something. Then i had the thought of what happent o me yesterday. At work someone with really disgusting breathe was going to make me throw up in my mouth *i know thats harsh but o man* i think the guy was drunk or something i wasnt sure. But How do you handle someone with bad breathe especially when they are talkin to you? The only thing i could think of doing yesterday was weaving around like the matrix trying to dodge the poison gas. The guy was wondering what on earth i was doing! but i was tryin to GIVE HIM A HINT!
So i know we all had situations like this, what do you do? do you try to walk away? tell them directly? weave around like i do? offer some gum pretending to be nice? or just punch them in the face cuz you cant stand it anymore? <i Hope none of you have resorted to that yet> Tell me a situation you been in and explain how you handled it...and to all you warriors the last resort is to TAKE IT LIKE A WARRIOR And with stand the horror <maybe many have done it to be nice>
*i admit my breathe smells pretty odd to time to time, so i try not to talk to people directly =)*

I ignore it and like put my hand on my face so it looks like I'm thinking, but I'm really just covering in nose. I also try and talk to them from a distance.
End the conversation and tell them straight away, I cant talk to a person with bad breathe.
Though bad breath is bad, try dealing with someone that sprays spit and drools while they talk. There's this one guy back at campus that would barge into your room unannounced and just try to strike up a conversation. I'm normally pretty welcoming to people but this guy has the manners of a goat, and probably the common sense of one to boot.
My solution was to look busy doing something else, and since you know this guy from work, this shouldn't be that hard. Also, try to steer the conversation to a place that it will end quickly. If neither of those work, that's when you gotta get him away from you. I've done it a few times, and trust me, you'll feel better in the long run about it.

Well...I have been through a couple of experiences like that...Though it's not very pleasant...I must say that I don't do anything.I just let the person carry on talking like everthing is normal.It's not that I don't want to stop the person but it's just that I don't want to make that person feel uncomfortable.Futhermore if that person is my friend.Worst come to worst,I'll just find ways to cut short the conversation.But 95% of the time,I'll just let them continue without an interruption.
Give breath mints.

Renegadecow, wow so direct. haha.
for me, if i'm talking to a person with bad breath i would do what pinkangelkitty said. put my hands on my face and pretend that i'm thinking, but really, i am covering my nose. yet, sometimes, i can't do it that long of a time period so, i just quickly end the conversation and walk away.

No Usally What I do When i smell their Breath what I do I offer the person a Peice of gum and When the person ask "what do my breath Smells" I say "No! its always Make a person Smile to have gum" =)
yeah know if you Don't have gum or breath mint What you do you just sit and try and ignor it!
it always help!
take my advise!

I just step back a bit, but, I once had the experiance when I stepped back a bit, the person just step foward closer to me any way
and I could only imagine what would have happened if i kept stepping back.
So another alternative is to always carry mints on you, and if you do encounter that situation, take out the mints, eat one then do the polite thing and offer them one. Then it won't seem like your being obvious XD

I will 100% must agree with that.
To some people this is a big problem and no body wants to hurt any bodys feeling.
I just cease breathing, yet pretend to keep looking like I breathe, and whenever I feel the need to refill, I turn my head to the opposite direction, making it look as though I'm looking at something by closing my eyes slightly, breathe deeply and quietly.
But then again, I'm not one to talk. My breathe stinks too quite often, but that's because I'm addicted to garlic, onion, and, well, basically anything that tastes like heaven, at the cost of your breathe.

Uhm I've been in that situation before. I always try to dodge the smell by 'inclining' my head slightly to the side and pretend nothing's wrong, or I simply try to give a little space between us.
Or if that person is close enough as a friend, I would say, 'Sorry but your breath is kind of bad today. Mint?'

Um..first of all..Your metaphors are hilarios ^^; Well..when I am talking to a person with bad breath..and I cannot stand it anymore..I ususaly.. get a piece of gum for myself..and then I kindly offer it to the next person (usually triggering other people to actually rudely ask for gum as well..but it is a sacrifice that I'm willing to take!! x'D ) Uh..and if I do not have any gum at that time (which is unlikely) I try to ignore it..and try not to encourage that person to talk (ex. not talking myself) and whatnot. On the other hand..if it were one of my family members..I would be straight out honest and tell them that their breath isn't "as fresh as daisies" today. xD
Hold your breath and hope they finish talking soon
