Really Really Bad Breath (I Mean Really Bad!).

[Spungle]

I just started a job 2 weeks ago and my new boss is a really nice chap, the strict but fair type. But even though I am getting okay with my job I am dreading going into work. This is because when my boss talks to me he gets quite animated and close to me- this is okay, but what I cannot stand is that he has the worst breath ever. It is literally like having a hairdryer with dog muck in it blown in your face. I don’t know what to do! I can’t tell him, I don’t know him well enough yet- he might have a physical illness or something and I can’t risk losing my job- but even thinking about that stale waft makes me want to gag…! Any suggestions, folks?

Ok do you like your job ....if so, say nothing !!! I repeat...say nothing. !!! There's no way this could be done tactfully either up front or discreetly without causing ructions !!

Vicks under the nose is the only way to go in this situation, at least for the time being ...there may be an underlying cause you aren't aware of, but for now, if you like your job and want to keep it ......Vicks !!! And good luck.

Have you tried farting in retaliation?

I think people who have this so badly that colleagues have given them a nickname usually know they have a problem already. My guy must have known for years. That bad for that long is not cured by teeth cleaning - in fact I thought it was more often caused by dietary/stomach problems.
