Job Interview Questions: Interviewer smelled bad at job interview - should I have said anything?

Something smelled really rank at my job interview. When they asked if I wanted coffee, I said no I smell rotten milk or something. Interviewer looked upset because I think it was him.

Should I have kept quiet? Is there a way to rectify this? It really smelled bad in there. Thanks.

what u did was fine... in fact, u should've told him straight to his face that he stinks...if u really wanna rectify it, call that dude and tell him that u figured out that it wasn't the milk, it was definitely him...

You implied that he was about to serve you rotted beverages, which is an insult to both him personally and the company and a major guest faux pas for both social and business hospitality. There's no way to rectify it now short of pretending it never happened.
