I used to work in a secure area (no, not a mental hospital!), access to which was through a door directly behind me. Anyway, a guy comes in one day who had a reputation for having breath that could strip paint and a lovely complimentary habit of leaning in close to speak to you.
So, one afternoon I hear the door open and close, and then he's over my shoulder talking to me, whilst I fight the urge to barf over my keyboard. He finishes talking to me, and shortly after I hear the door open and close. At this point I start to rise from my chair and say in general to the room:
"Fucking hell!, somebody ought to tell him that a mint wouldn't kill him".
To find as I complete my turn that he's stood behind me fiddling with his phone!

I worked with a short Scottish woman, you'd have thought she was 60, we all did by her de-meaner, but she was 37, when she told us we were actually shocked, not in the polite, oh my goodness, but, fuck me with a smurf type shock. She would stand so close to you, with the most vile breath ever, about 2 inches from your face. Not shouting, not in a mood, it was just the way she was. Just asking a question about how to move a file on the server was disgusting. Oh and her constant grazing, and talking about food, that was disgusting.
