Shitshow Characters: Locomotive Breath

To continue our Shitshow character series, this week we introduce a new character - Locomotive Breath. Every Shitshow has a Locomotive Breath.

Locomotive Breath - A close-talking co-worker whose breadth can knock you out at any time of the day, and has a habit of swinging by your desk regularly.

In the morning, he usually has "morning dry-mouth rinsed with coffee" breath. In the afternoon, it's a medley of garlic, stomach acid, and cigarettes. Needless to say, he never brushes his teeth. He has no idea how bad his breath smells, and he is usually in a leadership position where nobody dares to tell him. He also refuses mint gum when offered the hint.

Normally, it wouldn't matter if a random co-worker had bad breath because you could simply avoid him. But when the co-worker is your Team Lead, then he cannot be avoided. All you can do is hold your breadth and try to do listen. You must pay close attention and do exactly what he says because if you don't, he might repeat himself, or worse yet, he might come back and clarify.

Because there's no motivation to do work like the fear of suffocating from a lack of oxygen, I throw rocks.
