Why does offendingly bad breath still exist in 2019 in first world countries?
I was doing some group work today. It was like I was stuck in a cloud of farts. Fucking oral farts reminiscent of my morning dump after a two-day bender, mixed in with the scent of cotton candy.
Of course, there are exceptions. I'll understand if you're dehydrated or just ate some garlic, but those have their own distinct smells. I'll understand if you have some kind of genetic disorder that prevents you from having healthy-smelling breath (but come on, how many people am I meeting on a daily basis that have a genetic oral disorder)?
On occasion, we are met by the MOAB-funky-as-fuck-hasn't-flossed-in-literal-years bad breath. Today I experienced that MOAB.
And frankly, I'm sick of it.
There must come a time, and certainly by a certain age, when a person has to realize... "Christ... my breath really smells like ass." But alas, this is clearly just wishful thinking.
I really don't understand.
Step 1: floss your teeth
Step 2: brush your teeth for a few minutes
Step 3: brush your tongue til it's pink
Step 4: use mouthwash
Step 5: do this routine twice daily and see your dentist twice a year for a cleaning.
Or something like that.
It's not that hard and all takes less than ten minutes.
Yet I am faced with ass-breath everywhere I go. I just want to do my work and conversing in peace without getting blasted in the face with whatever you've been eating for the past 20 years. Is that too much to ask? Is it?
Wow. That turned into a longer diatribe than I intended.
