Mouth Breathers

"Mouth breathers," she said. "They disgust me."

She once went to Burger King and the boy who was making her sandwhich was a mouth breather. Every exhalation was going on her sandwich. His bottom lip looked like the hinge on it was broken. It hung slack. She imagined his breath, long and gray, going from his mounth to her sandwich. She thought of calling the manager and telling him/her she didn't want a mouth breather preparing her sandwich but she felt pity for the boy. It was probably his first job, minimum wage and she didn't want to embarass him. She didn't say anything about the mouth breather but later, when she walked out of the restaurant she threw the sandwich in the garbage and only ate the fries.
