Its an awkward situation.. You're talking with someone (what more if its on a daily basis).. That "someone" got a bad breath. How can you inform or tell him without offending or hurting his/her feelings? Suggestions guys please.

Unfortunately the truth is the only and least painfull way. Choose a quiet moment and tactfully staying respectful suggest in your own words (the way you would appreciate someone telling you if it were you) the situation! Honesty is always respected, even if it does temporarally hurt! (Cruel to be kind theory). Good luck

Thank you for your input. I couldn't agree more. Let's hear (or in this case, read) what others have to say regarding the matter.

I'm thinking of wearing a gas mask. But that would be too rude. :)

Well you could go to kiss them, stop and look shocked, then faint. They might get the message. haha
