What would you do if....

Hiya,

Just thought this would be a cool topic to start.

Ever been in really awkward situations and didn't know what to do and which way to react? Tell us your stories!

I'll start it off so...

Years ago when I was studying acting in Trinity I was playing the lead in one of the productions and my male lead had really pungent pukey smelly (got the idea yet) bad breath! Well, as you can imagine I had to spend hours with him really close to each other rehearsing scenes and worst of all there was some kissing involved. It was sooo bad that when he was talking i literally had to hold my breath because his breath was so bad it was making me want to gag. When i could see inside his mouth he had brownish stuff in between his teeth! Yikes!

Well, i was going mad wondering what to do, should i tell him and risk getting him morto and hateing me or do i go on suffering and let him kill people with his breath for the rest of his life. And I was also thinking that it would probably kill off any chances of a good relationship for him.

So after feckin' hours and days of worrying about how to approach the subject I plucked up the courage and told him and I also told him that there was tablets you could get from the doc to help the smell and also that he could get his plaque removed from his teeth that would help.

He was morto, but after he had gotten over that he thanked me for being so genuine and a "Real" friend to him. He got sorted with tabs and got his teeth looked at and the prob went away.

I was nearly sick with the thought of telling him though . But i would have been physically sick getting off with him onstage everynight     

Well c'mon, anyone else got a story like that?     

ah Martin thats a classic

When myself and Brendan moved into our house five years ago (we weren't married then) a salesman came to the door. I opened it and the man asked me was my dad in.... me loving that said "Yes" and went and got Brendan!!! Love telling that story!

Star/Teresa - Yuck Yuck - Good stories though - I worked with a girl in a cake shop years ago and my did she smell of BO and think rim around her neck ! She was vile - so after a couple of weeks I told my chargehand that she stunk and could she have a word with her etc etc - my chargehand freaked at me as it was her younger sister !  Eventually the boss (who was a rather old lady) brought in a bottle of impulse and just handed it to the girl and said that she smelled and to spray herself and to have a good wash when she went home.  The girl never came back after that.  But she was really smelly. 

I once asked a girl to dance at the Grove who I was sure her name was Janet.

I approached and and quietly confidently asked 'Janet-would you like a dance with me?'

You know what's coming-she turned round and said 'I would if you got my name right'

Right girl,wrong name. Oops. I ran.My loss.
