There's this guy at work who gets the train and I dread it at the end of the day because sometimes he asks for a lift to the station. No problem usually, as the station is more or less on my route home. The big issue here though is that this bloke's breath seriously stinks like he has gargled on cat sh1t or something.
I only drive a small motor and the dense stench is inescapable and very offensive. Not sure what to do cos he's a nice guy. I've tried offering him Extra Strong Mints but he always declines. Is there a polite way of informing him of his sewerage breath?

Get everyone to start calling him. Toe sis.

Then when he gets in your car you can say

Hallo toe sis. Hopefully he'll get the message

Feel for you mate. One of my pet hates bad breath. Short of sticking a peg on your nose when you're driving and lining up bottles of listerine on your dashboard there's not a whole lot you can do without mentioning his controversial breath. Two ways. Say I'm sorry to say this mate but your breath is really unpleasant. Or stew on yet more faeces like stench filling up your car and airways, flip, lose your rag and shout your breath f**king stinks!!!

I hate speaking to people who have bad breath
I have another thing which I don't like. People smelling of sweat, the worst of it all, my cousins came over from Canada and both smelt really bad of bo. I didn't know what to say to them. They are younger girls and you would of thought they would like to smell nice. But it was terrible and I don't think they realised

Just ask him if he forgot to brush his teeth and if he asks why you're asking, tell him his breath is kicking off a bit. Easier to start the conversation if you suggest the problem is an exception/error.

I would just write him a letter telling him his breath stinks and leave it on his desk, he is hardly going to ask everyone who wrote the letter

I am a bit blunt about such things but as a woman can often get away with not offending people with a bright smile and a laugh. As you are man to man, I would try saying "Blimey mate what do you eat, as your breath is a bit honky/stinky/sh1t". Hopefully he will take it in the manner it was intended and the worse thing that can happen is that he won't want a lift home any more (result either way).

Please don't leave a letter on his desk - that would be awful and the poor bloke would spend all his time thinking who could have done it, nobody likes him or stuff like that.

Good luck with it.

He'd rather know. Tell him straight, get it done and all get on with your lives.

Of all the ways you could have told me, you decided to put it on NSC. Thanks 'mate', thanks a lot.

Just ask him what has he eaten as it smells bad. It is then suggesting that it is the food ,not him. This may be the case anyway.
Loads of garlic.

If suggesting Extra strong mints fails, the best thing to do is have a dump in a plastic bag in the morning, place it under the passenger seat and let it fester all day. If he asks what the smell is, tell him you friends dog had the squits on the passenger seat and you cannot get rid of the smell.

Probably won’t cure his bad breath but he might not ask for a lift again.
