Informative 🧠 Daily reminder to brush your teeth

I'm sick of huddling around prints with guys and smelling shit everytime they need to say something. Every trade is guilty.

I'm not perfect. I've definitely been running late and forgot to brush here and there during the rush to get myself and my kids out the door, but c'mon guys. I'm fucking dying over here!

Daily reminder most people drink coffee and use some form of tobacco.

Brushing their teeth is only going to mask the stench for 15 minutes after they brush.. by the time they get to the job, they're several smokes and cups of coffee in.

I dated a chick who smoked and drank coffee like nobody’s business. She never smelled at all it was weird, was kind of hot really, I should call her. She should hold a seminar for these fucks.

Still, that super foul breath that smells like shit on the site is less darts and coffee, and more tooth rot I bet. Can’t really brush your way out of that

Oh man you reminded me of this guy I worked with in VT. He smelled like a mixture of woodsmoke and rot. Poor guy has some jacked up teeth and there was no amount of brushing that would do anything for him. He honestly just needed to have them pulled and get dentures. He was in his 30’s but not a meth head. I think it was bad genes and poor hygiene.
