Their breath STINKS big time!!! I'm working with someone who have it and I have to be near him/her aaaall the time but I can't take it anymore.
The problem is this person is so nice and kind and I'm afraid if I tell him/her it'll hurt his/her feelings :(.

What can I do? It's really annoying me...

    Offer him a mint? Or gum? Or the business card of a good dentist?

    You have to avoid the awkwardness by offering them gum or a mint.

    I've never told someone who's breath always stinks that their breath always stinks. Never braved that awkward moment.

    I'm missing out in life!

    heck.. it'll be abnormal not to feel shy about that. I normally just don't breathe around them. But if you really wanna get rid of the smell just offer them a mint everyday. Maybe they'll get the message?

    Tell him/her that his/her mouth smells like junk and he/she should get a dental care more often!

    Tell them just out of caring! Like just say, "I think i'm not the only one who notices... just looking out for ya budd," or somthing like tht (:

    maybe put some chewing gum on their work desk before they get there or if they start before you, leave chewing gum on their desk after they leave. its a kind of polite way of saying their breath is bad without actually embarrassing them by saying it to their face. but some people dont get the hint when you do things like that so you might have to tell them after all. just be gentle about it because it could ruin your work relationship.
