Someone at work has bad breath tonight and I got a full clip of tic tacs. Maybe if I take one for myself right in front of her and then offer, she won't take it personal.

only do it if it's really non-chalant, like if you're talking to her about something and you just pull them out and take one.. and say "would you like one?" as an afterthought. never just go up to her and say "would you like one?" also, if she says "no," do not show a reaction, just put them away.

Yes that's how you do it!!!! but what if she says no thank you? i did this to a friend once, breath was so bad we where in my car on a very cold day heat on and the breath was KICKING, after i offended gum and he said no i then turned of the heat, and it didn't kick so much, i was happy to get him to where he were going. on the other hand if you're at work and she says no, then you may have to come out and tell her!! but say oh did you eat anything with Onion in it? please have a mint!!!!

I have been in your situation many times. Usually I will give myself one then offer him/her one, as well as a couple other co workers just so he/she doesn't wonder why they are the only one that was offered. It's not being offensive because your being nice.

I only offer breath mints to people if I take one into my mouth first.

You have got the right idea. I think if you just take one yourself, and then offer her one..she probably won't take it personal.
