The “Breath Test”
“I’ve been experimenting with my breath lately. It’s a mix between 'forgotten leftovers' and 'a hint of regret.' Care to be my judge?”
The “Social Experiment”
“I’m conducting a social experiment to see how far bad breath can go before people start backing away. What do you think—am I winning?”
These approaches add humor to an awkward situation while also inviting a light-hearted response! Whether you’re using one of the above methods or coming up with your own, the key is to maintain a friendly and good-natured demeanor.
Boosting Your Confidence
Healthy confidence can get you virtually into or out of any situation when you add charm, wit, and a shot of good-natured humor.
The Witty Metaphor
“My breath is kicking like a Bruce Lee movie got any gum.”
The Non-Sequitor
“What do you think about the new iPhone. And by iPhone I mean can I have a mint?”
The Humorously Hyperbolic Sales Pitch
“Good deeds inspire confidence and good feelings, and science proves this probably. I want to help you by letting you give me a piece of gum. You’re welcome, friend.”
You can come up with any variety of humorous ways to ask for a mint or gum or to duck into a store to get a pack. Just smile and have fun being funny to communicate it!
Remember, the goal is to be polite, friendly, and humorous. This helps to ease the awkwardness and often leads to a positive outcome. Whether you're smiling, using a witty metaphor, or conducting a social experiment, the most important thing is to maintain a light-hearted and positive tone.
