How disgusting is this?

[Howbadistthis]

I overslept this morning and was very rushed. I need to be in the building for work for 815 but the first hour is relatively chilled. I have a toothbrush and toothpaste in my bag so I decided to brush my teeth at work (I’ve never done this before bu was so rushed.)

The toothpaste is there but not the brush and I have an important meeting at 3

I feel gross. Is it really horrible?

Run some toothpaste round your teeth with your finger. That should freshen your breath a bit and then give them a proper scrub this eve. It’ll be fine.

*rub toothpaste 🤦🏻‍♀️

Presuming you brushed your teeth last night, they're not going to be noticeably unclean. Get some chewing gum.

Yes, it’s disgusting. They’ll probably fire you. The plaque on your teeth will crawl out and form letters on the meeting table which spell VILE.

Don’t be so daft You’re fine. Just rub a bit of toothpaste on your teeth, swill and gargle.

Lots of people brush their teeth in the loo where I work, often after lunch. I don’t find it particularly pleasant to be washing my hands next to someone spitting in the sink but it isn’t disgusting. Lots here probably means a handful, but it’s not unusual by any means. It might be a cultural thing, most people in our department are not British.

Or nip out in your lunch hour and buy another toothbrush? (assuming you get a break and are near shops!)

I do have my own toilet and sink so that’s okay but I can’t actually leave the building to buy a toothbrush!

Do you have an open fire as soot will do?

Toothpaste and abit of water, swill and gargle like mouth wash

I misread the OP, sorry, gonwith rubbing the toothpaste on with your finger.

Do you have an open fire as soot will do?
Is the OP Bob Cratchit?

New dishcloth from a kitchen? Blob some toothpaste on and give teeth a good scrub. Then paper clip bent out of shape to make a toothpick.

Is the OP Bob Cratchit?

“Do you have an open fire as soot will do?”

Even by the most unlikely chance OP is working in some historical building and spends her day poking a fire.. how do you suggest she smears the soot around her teeth.. surely the toothpaste she has will a) taste nicer and b) not make her look like a chimney sweep with rotten teeth.

Half a pint of creme de menthe. Sorted.
