If you smelled funny, would you want someone to tell you? Or how bad would your breath have to be for you to wish someone had given you a gentle hint?
P.S. If I smell funny, someone let me know.

If I smelled funny, I would want to know. But I'd want a friend to tell me. Not a stranger, or a cute boy I like.

I would want to know if I or my breath smelled bad.

If your mother dresses you funny do you want to know that?

i totally would. i tell people when their label is sticking out, and when there's food on their teeth and stuff, and they should do the same.

I think I would know if I smelled funny or had bad breath.

Oh, and you kinda smell like peppermint for some reason. *shrug*

Actually, that reminds me, once for about 3 days I smelled like maple syrup for no reason I could find. I don't like the smell of maple so it kinda sucked.

puke & cry: You've got to figure that a lot of people who smell funny don't realize it. Right? Otherwise they'd do something?

I knew a DJ who's BO was so bad all the rest of us got together and asked the boss to talk to him about it. He had no idea he smelled so bad. He needed a doctor to sort things out but I am amazed no one had told him before.

Oh yeah, of course. I'm not one of them though, I can tell if I smell bad. I don't know whats up with those stinkers.

I do appreciate it when someone tells me when a booger is hanging out of my nose. That's happened more than once.

If you were dancing on the roof and your wife was sitting in the living room watching television, and she suddenly realized that you had your shirt on inside out, would you want her to tell you that it is wrong to throw a paper airplane at a panda? I mean think about it. You are an adult. It is time you start acting like one. Nobody can make you act that way but you.

There's a janitor custodian at the lab who smelled absolutely terrible (probably a mixture of diet and hygene).

Thankfully someone talked to their supervisor about it and I no longer retch whenever he comes into the lab to empty the trash/do the floors.

If I smelled badly (at least I know I smell like stale cigarettes - hence I wash my hands/face throughout the day) and it bothered the people around me I'd want to be informed so I can take steps to be less offensive.
