okies......so i have a question for all ya'll.........HOW do you tell someone (esp a stranger) that they need a MINT or something, or else you'll pass OOT? i sat next to a man today during a 4 hour flight and i nearly passed out from the stench......i had to block my nose everytime he turned my way and opened his mouth. i wanted SO badly to give him a mint, stack of gum, breath strip......etc......BUT i couldn't bring myself to do it cos i figured he'd know something was up. so i grinned ~NOT~ and beared it......oye any suggestions (this happens at work more often than not) and would YOU wanna know if you had bad breath? answer to the latter question is YES, and i wouldn't take offense if someone offered me gum.....etc. *is glad that i brush my teeth often* =0) |

*is glad that i brush my teeth often* bad breath has little to do with that. it is caused by plaque though, but on the tongue. thats what starts to smell. gum and mints don't help. best thing is to get a 'tongue scraper' and scrape the slime off your tongue at least once each day. |
||||||||

the back of the tongue, I might add.. |

Pop a mint into his hand as a compliment. I'd done that twice and gotten good vibes from the receiver. Here's a better question: What do you do about CAT FOOD BREATH?! :X |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, I WOULD want to know... if ever I have something on my face, or if my breath smelled bad, TELL ME!!! No sense letting me go around all day like it... |
||||||||
|

|

put a mint in his whisky when he looks in another direction. |

I think if I were you I would have said the following to the man in question: "Excuse me, sir, but the smell that I my nose is receiving whilst I am in such close proximity to you can only lead me to believe that you are suffering from halitosis. This is a most anti-social condition and could lead to all kinds of uncomfortable situations when you are out in public. It is also very likely to render you entirely unattractive to the opposite sex. As a temporary cure, may I offer you this piece of chewing gum. In the long term, I would advise you to visit a doctor ASAP so that you can cure whatever bacterial infection or such like is causing such an offensive odour." This way, it looks as though you are expressing concern to the bloke, and also makes you look as though you care. The other option would be to vomit profusely on his shoes whenever he breathes on you, and hopefully he will get the message. |

slowly pull out a case of Altoids and begin to crack it open, while looking slightly past the person but not making direct eye contact with them. otherwise just do like kramer and say "you stink". |

You can't "sit somewhere else" on an already overloaded flight, silly... :P |

Bitch, yo breaf is triflin'. |
||||||||

Actually, the other alternative would be to make your breath smell even worse (garlic, whatever) and breathe on him back. What a lovely idea. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
HAAHHAHAHA funny! *slips him a MICKEY, so to speak* actually that whole TONGUE thing sounds correct, and when i said i brush my teethies often.....i meant i BRUSH my tongue 2 =) next time i WILL break out the mints, gum, etc.......cos it was REALLY tough today! oye thanx for ze suggestions |

You can just take out mints for yourself and offer it casually, I would imagine that works. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't have probs with my tongue or my teeth, but my breath gets bad all of a sudden sometimes... It's in the throat :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i almost did.......but it's more difficult with an older person, PLUS he was talking about recycled air and had the FA bring him a can of soda unopened cos he thought it could be tampered with. it was an unusual situation.....thats why i didn't do that..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just give him the fucking mint and tell him the truth, then you would look nice and he would be better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh man. thats the best one i've heard yet. mint wiskey.. sounds like a rock-a-billy band name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is a difficult situation. I prefer to be given the mint, but who knows... I worry a lot about that and I keep my mouth always clean cos I really dont like it when somebody has bad smell in the mouth... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Given them your complimentary toothbrush and toothpaste....that you get on some flights! Hehehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's why i carry LISTERINE BREATH STRIPS!!! those things are really spicy tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spicy? hehehe i've never thought about it like that =0) well i took an informal poll today at work and surprisingly a few people felt it would be offensive to offer gum/mints etc.......they said it would be TOO obvious why you're offering a stranger a MINT! baaaaaaaahhhhh dunno if i agree but i was surprised by ze results! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Duuuh.. A REAL taurus girl would have insisted that he take a breath mint. But I guess you ain't the real deal are you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no no.....i'm faking my birth month fo sho *dork* i know in retrospect i shoulda said/done something.....but i was tired as all get out from activities with the BF.....and i just wanted to SLEEP!!! so i removed my backbone and pinched my nose =b |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Tired from activities with the old BF ayy? Please, don't leave us dangling now.. |
||||||||

*hands you a mint* yah yea.........*doesn't recall seeing you around in ze EARLY mornin when we were playing COIL on ze radio!!!* |

*snort* Hmph. |

what if you were working the flight though? it sounds like you were non-reving, so I wouldn't have said anything to my seatmate either. however, I think FA's have enough clout to be able to suggest something like a mint to a pax without it being anything but good customer service. go WN go! |
||||||||

i offered my Listerine breath strips to a few peeps in my AP macroeconomics class today. none of them seemed offended. it's probably because i made it a public offer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:O~=~=~=~=~ <---stink lines and everythin' I really like those mint strips. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeha, that's good, maybe offer to everyone in your row, and PRAY the offender takes one. *sir, you'll REALLY like the taste of these.........* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
take a mint yourself...and offer one out of seeming politeness..and smack his head if he does not take you up on your offer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I tell people straight. My policy with these things is that it's best to just tell them, but you gotta use a BIt of tact.... I'd say "Dude oi have a mint" and give him one, if he says "Why?" or "Do I have bad breath?" you shrug and say "Yeah a bit" like it's no big problem.. You never know, he could have been meeting an important woman later on, you could have done him a huge favoir |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Just tell 'em "Your mouth smells like an open grave. Try Doublemint". |

I nearly got into a fight in Bath because I offered a girl (who came and sat next to me) a mint. I had one myself first and then offered it, so she could of had one without being embarresed. She started going nuts. |

I like the first quote on your profile... |

|

Ceri JC - no shit? Some girls are too sensitive for their own good. That's probably actually the best way to offer someone a mint though....I can't believe she went nuts @ you! The bitch~! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just said, "oh fuck of..." (not in an agressive way) she then got her friend who wen t equally nuts. Her friend didn't even listen to my side of the story before launching into a tirade so I told her where to go too. They then went and got a large male friend and said, "Are you going to tell him to fuck off too?" I replied, "Yes, if he's a c**t too and starts haranguing me without listening to what I have to say". Amusingly once he'd heard my piece the guy agreed with me and said I'd not been unreasonable. The girls then directed their attention to him accusing him of being a pussy and siding with me because I was a guy. People like that remind me why I don't like "trendy" bars... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha no shit! reasonable people rock! last time i went to a bar this guy who knew one of my mates was telling us how much of a big dealer he is and I was just ignoring him so he' s all "How much do you pay for Es" and i said "samed as everyone else blah blah blah" and so on and he goes "fuck you're a sucker, man I don't pay any mroe than 15 bucks for one" so I told him to get me two right then for 30 bucks. He totally shut up. I can't believe the moronir walked right into that, coz obviously he's full of shit. Man, bars really do attract wankers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I don't go to bars...but it seems you two do...(!) Just joshing wiv ya ;-) |
