Some of you may not know, but I am very scent sensitive. Many strong smells make me ill or can trigger a terrible headache. That being said you can appreciate my story all the more. I am not a fan of the smell of coffee, and several of my co-workers enjoy several cups everyday. I don't care if you like it and want to drink it but I am not a fan. I am also not familiar with the effects it can have on your breath. Apparently your mouth begins to smell like butt. So here is my story. Today at work, I was facing my desk and working on my computer. Right behind my desk there is a counter that holds my files and has a nice granite top on it. This is nice to spread papers out on and you are able to view all papers easily. A co-worker set a proposal on the counter and had his back to me. Suddenly there was a terrible odor and I thought he had passed gas at my desk. The smell did not go away, it was very disgusting. Then he said my name and asked me for help with the proposal. I stood and walked to where he was standing. He turned to talk to me and to my horror the smell was coming from his mouth. I fought the initial gag factor and took a step back. The odor was so strong I think I could actually see the smell seeping out of his mouth. It smelled like poo. I thought how can you not know that your breath smells like that? I helped him as quickly as I could and sent him on his way. I approached Ali and told her of the offencive odor, she had experienced this herself and explained the coffee breath to me. So for those of you who drink coffee, I suggest that you carry a travel toothbrush and paste with you at all times, otherwise your mouth will smell like poo.
