What do you do when your co-worker insists on talking to you and he has retched !
Question: Make very dramatic arm motions in his face as to show the horrible odor in a visual, make a face like you're gonna vomit, and then just tell him you didn't hear a word he said because his breath could kill a rodent.

shake a package of tic-tacs at his face
for the same reason people with bad breath always have to tell you secrets. They are killing your nasal cavity slowly.....
Offer Him/her a piece of gum, if they say no, say: Pleeeze!!!
hurl on them like Linda Blair did in The Exorcist
"Can I get your advice on something? One of the folks here has breath that smells like a damn rotting carcass. How do you break that to a person without offending?"
Whatever he says to do, do it right that second.
just start beatboxing and put your hands over your mouth
I have a stinky co-worker here, too. I generally turn away from his general direction, take a step back or cover my nose and mouth with my hand.
If it were just his breath, I'd offer a piece of gum but it's his BO that's awful. What do you do in that case? Offer a shower?
Shiiiiiiver
put a bottle of mouthwash on his desk and type a note that say's
"USE THIS"......
signed: anonymous.....
Take out a piece of gum for yourself, offer him one as well. Smooth.
Or just scream in his face "It's killing me!!!!" And start to cry sofly to yourself.
fall down and play dead
Throw tic tacs in his mouth as he talks or just stick a gum in his face, I'm sure he'll get the hint!
Hurry the conversation up as fast as I could without being rude.
Hurl hairballs all over him!
I hold my breath as long as I can hoping I don't pass out, and kinda back up a little. Some people really have some stank breath, it's like do you not smell your breath, I mean come one.
In your sweetest voice possible ask politely what crawled up in him and died.
Just say damn I think you just singed the hairs in my nose!
febreeze and listerine!
I used to have a female worker whose body odor can knock flies off the walls. The rest of the staffs complained to me, so for her birthday we got her several sticks of deodorant,,,Problem solved,,
In you case, I'll suggest some gums, mouthwash, toothbrush & toothpaste as a Valentine Day present,,,,
Easy.... I have this happen a lot... just leave a tin of altoids on their desk, in plain view....
Do this once a week for 4 weeks....
If the breath does not improve, call in a bomb threat using their name.... they will be incarcerated & problem solved
listen but don't look at them face-to-face
plug my nose and hand him some breath mints
Puke on his shoes
Very sweetly say, "My dear Roderick (that is his name, right?), what in the devil have you been munching on today? I noticed that all of the feminine hygeine dispensers were suddenly empty this morning .... coincidence?"
Then toss your hair seductively, bat your eyelashes, and skip back to your desk.
Avoid them at all times. Secretly place a breath freshening item such as : gum, tic tacs, Altoids, etc. on their desk. Hopefully they will get the hint. Good luck!
