Have you ever been in a conversation with someone who had really bad breath?

I am job requires me to be in contacts with customers. As such, I encountered a numbers of customers who have bad breath. I just tolerated a few times. Then brought mints with me, offered one to him and have one myself. It worked.

yes, and it sucks a lot... problem is i don't want to tell it to him coz he is my boss haha

Hi tucksheri! Had you been on a good distance when you conversed with that person? If yes, then you're lucky! When I was having my hospital exposure on the labor/delivery room my face is 11 inches away from this lady in labor. I had to check her vitals every hour and monitor her labor. When she gasps and breathes through her mouth when she has contractions, man, I felt like passing out. The bad thing is I can't leave her side. I was so relieved when she was mounted on the delivery table.

yes i do experienced talk to someone that is bad breath bcoz he had habit not to brush his teeth always maybe just brush his teeth if he remember or maybe he cant take anymore the bad breath coz he even aware that he got badbreath and when he talked to somebody as if act like he feels embarrased...that sometimes whe he continue to talked he will cover his mouth....

yes, i have experienced talked someone with the bad breath. its not really a good one...expecially someone who is smoker or forgot or rarely brush their teeth or not taking some listerine... usually when i talked someone like that i took some space to talk with them but sometimes if someone is close to me like an old friend, i just tell that they have a smell breath, of course with a good way...

End the conversation. Pronto.

Yes. that has happened to me so many times. I end up, kindly backing up away from them. I do not want to be rude and tell them their breath stinks, especially if I do not know them all that well. I will definitely tell someone I am close to their breath stinks though and tell them to do something with it if they do not take it uopn themselves to do it.

Oh yes and the worse thing is i could not get away from them either which was worse.I was in a pub and me and a few friends were sitting at a table and this lad came over and everytime he spoke his breath smelt like rotton eggs or a fart.It was that bad that we left and went to another pub,i did not know them so i did not say anything.

I have some experience like this ,before when I talked one guy like this ,he have bad breath .I feel uncomfortable . Sometime ,I want to give him some tipis .but my friend told me ,don't say this face him, which could hurt his confidence .so I think when I meet this ,I only suffer this .

Hi tuckersheri I have been in that situation before. Yes what do you say or do. I was talking with someone and I knew that I was going to be in this conversation for a while. I finally said to them if they wanted something to drink. She did take up on the offer and that helped alot. I now try to carry some hard candy with me and if that happens again I will offer them a piece of candy as I take one.

i admit that would be a difficult situation to be in. i too have experienced talking to someone who has really bad breath. he was an office mate. what i usually do if he comes near my table for something, i usually pretend to be picking up something on the floor or stand up to open my cabinet drawers. us, his office mates have talked about his bad breath and bad body odor. it is so disgusting while frustrating not to be able to tell him about it. one co-worker suggested to gift him with deodorant and mouthwash and place them inside his drawer, but this never happened because someone thought this would embarrass him. others thought of writing a note and slip it inside his drawer and nobody dared do it. all we did was maintain a distance from him during conversations. he succumbed to heart attack when he was alone in the office as it was still very early. may his soul rest in peace.

Yes I experienced this. It was really hard to act naturally but you cannot really escape the situation. I try to, as much as I can, avoid looking at him/her so that my nose is not directly at his mouth. Like you I don't have the heart to tell the person how his/her mouth stinks. I don't want to sound rude and the person might feel very insulted id i say something.

Yes i too have encountered with people with bad breath,but i never thought of telling them as it may hurt.But while speaking with those i used to maintain enough distance to escape from their bad breath.But if i find bad breath in any of my family members,i tell it straight without any hesitation.

Oh yeah, I use to work with someone with horrible breath and he smelled and to top it off his teeth were green. Higher Management had to tell him to shower because I guess he never did. I hated to work with him but as a supervisor, sometimes I didn't have a choice. I don't know how someone can go out in public and everything and know they smell, etc. I'm such a clean person, I have to shower on a daily basis, and keep clean. I don't get how some people can't care and they know, ugh.
