I usually offer them an altoid, when they take one and say thank you, I say no, thank you.

How would you like to be told?

I'd rather someone just tell me than to be a pussy and dance around it.

See if the dude has a poop tooth or some such

That might be the source of the smell and is harder to fix than just mouthwash

The guy I sit next to has TERRIBLE breath and talks a ton. I can smell it from 10 feet away when he talks.

Its clearly coffee breath, as he drinks about 4 cups every morning.

I have no idea how to tell him. He's a super sensitive guy to shite like that. He'd take it personally.

I stopped drinking coffee for that reason. The amount of attractive women and even alpha males who breathe on me and they dont even realize how bad. I just cannot allow myself to be one of them.

I carry sweet breath at all times.

Trying to be nice and polite about it, but there is one gentlemen that loves to speak to you up close, but let’s out an awful smell of a mix between dog shite and coffee. I really don’t want to ask him if he bobbed for turds this morning, but he needs to know. It would not be doing him any justice if it continues to be ignored.


I would say something like this...Hey man this is an awkward subject but if it was me I would want to know. Your breath is putrid, pungent, and malodorous. I wanted to tell you so that you could take care of the problem before it gets out of hand. Now that this has been said there is no need to speak about it any further. Just get some mints and brush those teeth twice daily.

It’s all about delivery. You can tell someone to go to hell and have them look forward to the trip if you say it right.

How do you politely tell a coworker that their breath smells like poop?

well just tell them that their breath smells like poop

there is no other way to tell them then to just tell them

if you had them a mint and tell them "here you need this" its not any better and 5 minutes later, shite for breathe is back again

tell them straight up matter of factly and maybe they go brush their teeth

Avoid them. Or make it a point to back up when they talk to you up close. They'll get the hint.

Show them a youtube video of tonsil stone extraction. Make it seem like its something that fascinates you. They will watch it, then naturally check for themselves and will hopefully remedy the issue themselves.

leave a polite, type written message on his desk. or better yet, mail it to him with no return.

Just say: Wow bro, step back, reach into you pocket for mints/gun, and follow up with a you really need one of these.

If his feelings get hurt than he’s not a man.
