Coworker’s breath smells horrible and weird tick from other coworker

I don’t know if my coworker doesn’t brush his teeth, but I can smell it 4 feet away. It’s rancid, like puppy breath. Stale. Almost like you left a crawfish in a pot out in the sun, it dies, then you go smell it after a day.
Other Asian coworker who has your typical foreign born Asian in the US type social skills, blows his nose into the air every 20 seconds. It’s in like a compulsive, OCD, tick manner. Blow out your nose in a short burst pretty hard into the air. That sound, I hear 6 feet from me hundreds-thousands of times a day. His nose isn’t stuffed because he uses no tissue, no covering one nostril, just a short burst tick.
I know Asians typically have high anxiety and are nervous a lot, which this seems to definitely be an anxiety tick like behavior, but dude, it can’t be that hard to not blow your nose into the air in a tick-like fashion every 20 seconds.
What do I even do? Ask one to brush his teeth, and the other to stop his ticks? The lack of self awareness. I would definitely be aware of how bad my breath is if I were him. His wife has to smell it. The other guy, come on man. Pick up on how Americans act. It can’t be that hard.
A 3rd one, which isn’t bothersome because we sit on opposite sides of the floor, the dude looks like he has millimeters of calcified plaque yellow build up on his teeth. They look like they haven’t touched a bristle in several years. I was in the bathroom at the same time as someone who absolutely blew up the toilet next to me. It sounded like he eats the most unhealthy shite possible whoever that was. We exit each stall at the same time, and lo and behold, it’s him, the never brush teeth guy.
It really isn’t that hard to just maintain hygiene and not be a weird tick-ridden fest.

Is your goal to start as many stupid threads in one night as you possibly can?
If so…

Tell them you want to work the drive through and take a break from serving fries

Wear a mask and put earplugs in. If your boss asks why tell them to stop hiring foreigners.

Talk to the coworker about their breath. Or at least talk to the supervisor. you can't do anything about the tick. And I'd suggest getting bugged about coworkers for years to come. You will have a wonderful career.

I'm convinced that you've never smelled puppy breath before.

FYI, puppy breath is not rancid. It is one of the best smells on God’s green earth…

You're a goddamned idiot. That, behind fresh cut grass is one of the best smells in the world.

Is a thread really needed for this? You sound like an arse

Simple solution: You blow the leaves whilst the bad breath one does the edging. That way you can blow away the odor.
As far as the dude with the tick......maybe don't let him spray the Roundup.

Bad breath and odors is a definite HR issue. I had a new hire I was onboarding with extreme BO. I gave him reading assignment and went to Walmart and bought him a 2 pack of degree deodorant and told him his stench was obscene and I as a manager was not going to allow it and he is in an office with clients and hygiene is in the employee handbook. He washed his clothes and started smelling better after that.
I wanted to fire him on the spot as he was a new hire but didn’t want to deal with HR.
The blowing your nose thing without a tissue may qualify as a hygiene HR issue.

Give the bad breath guy a pack of tic tacs. He will have better breath and you will hear him coming. This has been covered in Seinfeld, baw.

A buddy of mine works on Rigs, His roommate is on 3 day bathing schedule.
He doesnt bath every day. Even if he gets all hot and sweaty.
His teeth look like gang green a bit as well.

Breath Guy: we had that issue with a guy it was bad enough that his co-workers asked his boss to talk to him. He told his boss he had those white specs that build up in his throat (tonsil stones) and he needed surgery to fix it. Well, he had surgery and he was fine afterwards.
Another co-worker had bad BO and someone left deodorant on his desk. He began using it.

Our cleaning guy (contractor) has horrible BO. Nice guy, I like him, but our facilities manager has to have a chat with him.
The lack of self awareness is just crazy to me. How do you not realize you reek and it’s not that damn hard to stay clean.

Recommend Thera-Breath. It is the only one the works. I know from personal experience.
