Yeah, I definitely agree with members that are saying no and/or adding that they'd just walk away.
That's just a really awkward situation in general and would probably make the person feel super uncomfortable for the rest of the day. Plus I think you shouldn't even say it at all if it's some stranger you don't know, because if that happened to me then I'd interpret it more as a rude remark than a simple heads up.
i'd feel mean, even though it could help them to avoid other people saying nasty things
idk maybe drop hints, i've never experienced this so i don't know.
This fool's breath ferment, so bad it'll melt your ice cream
They say don't say nothing if you can't say nice things
Sittin too close to him on BART, like my eyes stings
I try to be subtle, hand him a stick of gum
I was a victim of breath on hum
Running his yap about what sets he from
Gotta get some gum gotta get him some
He turned it down, his teeth was brown
Excruciating, foreign, it was a new sensation
I had to ask the dope to pass the soap
Cuz his coat had the sniff of crustaceans
Or bathrooms in a bus station
He had a can of Olde E and some raisins
Amazing, head to toe B.O
He didn't know, used to the fragrance
Just as the days went without bathing
He felt manly and not like a maiden
I once did tho. This girl in my class stank really really bad and no one wanted to be near her and she always thought we would bully her because of her outer appearance which is not true. So I just straight up told her that she smells a bit ( I did it in a nice way) and she felt offended. This bitch snitched on me and I got scolded by the principal of our school.
I have a friend and his breath ALWAYS stinks, like it makes me feel ill, and i wanna tell him about it not just for my benefit, but for his too, but idk how to word it
If I have to spend a lot of time with that person (f.e.: uni, work) I never say it, but I would often say something like "what's that ugly smell?" or something similar, or "do you smell it?" and act completely like it's not coming from that person.
It's the easiest and most safe way to do it, often this helped solving the problem, cause the person wasn't embarassed and they changed, a.k.a. started showering often and wearing clean clothes.
