Stinky Mouth

Bad breath? Well, if you want to work as a doorman in NYC you’d better do more than suck on mints.

Jonah Seeman opens doors for a living and the people that hired him weren’t too happy about his dragon breath. One tenant for whom he opens doors says that it’s not Seeman’s job to open his mouth and that his suspension was unfair.

My first question is this: Who complained? Really, was it sooo bad that they couldn’t rush past the man to get into the building? Did they stop to take a whiff everyday to make sure he was brushing properly? And why would they complain to the management? To that person (I find it highly doubtful that more than one person would go to such lengths to see the doorman punished for what could very well be an untreated dental problem) I would like to say, seriously, get a life. If you can’t find one then buy one. Because in the scheme of things that are important in life, bad breath DOES NOT rank. Unless, of course, the person suffering from the Stink Mouth is your dentist or the person who injects your collagen.

My second question is: Why did the management feel the need to suspend the poor guy? Honestly, if he’s otherwise performing good personal hygiene,why bother? Because some bag with a big bank account was sniffing him out? I do believe someone needs to get their priorities straight. His job is to open doors. If he’s doing that and not allowing people to run smack into the glass, then what’s the problem?

Of course, I’m not the one smelling his ghastly breath. I also am capable of opening the door for myself. So what do I know?

Update:
Looks like old men who fart too much fall victim to the banning too. Ha! Poor guy.
