I once placed a large bottle of Scope on the windshield of a fellow officers police car. Did it work? Yes, no mouth odors since. No, he never knew who did it.
-
Stopped breathing.

not a coworker but yes i hadto share my seat with this fren of mine at the school and it was hell....i always carried mint-gums and offered it to her. after a few months it proved really expensive to be offering mint-gum everyday (and it was of no help as well-so pungent was the breath), so i finally said her and asked her to do something about it. next day on she didnt wait for my mint gum, she bought them herselves...lol

I used to work with this woman who sat a couple cubicles away from me. Without even seeing or hearing her, I'd know she was there by the smell of her breath - and I am NOT exaggerating. Oh, and I didn't do anything about it - I thought about it - but I didn't want to come off as rude...

Its hard to tell your friend that they had a bad breath but of course, i can tell though its embarassing to tell them right in front of you. Maybe i just dont want to hurt a friend's feelings. But it cant be avoided it will occur if you begin to neglect yourself; so personal hygiene is really necessary esp. fresh breath. You dont want your close friends to say bye forever to you just bec. you turn them off as result of your dental odor each time you open your mouth.

I work with one and I always offer my mints. I'll buy her a tooth brush for Christmas.

I would ask him if he wants a piece of mint gum and keep on offering until he gets one.
-
Whenever something like that happens to me, I just get a peice of gum out for myself and then nonchalantly offer them a piece too.
-
Keep mints out on your desk and if those are ignored...offer gum EVERY time the person is around. Hopefully that will do the trick.
