I swear every day and prob ever other sentence

I was told at work I ‘was letting myself down’ by a manager, he was a right on christian, I told him this is how I speak, get over it

I try not to swear as much at work, but its difficult, esp the work environment I have worked in for all my adult life

plus my parents and siblings, esp my dad swear a lot.

I did feel bad saying cunt in front of my mum a while ago, but my dad hears me say it and text it all the time, I try not to swear in front of children as I dont want them to think its normal as I did

I swear far too much, where I’m from it’s quite normal to swear 3 or 4 times in a sentence, but travelling away (and now having moved away) it is obviously unacceptable. The problem is it’s very deeply ingrained in my speech and has been since I was about 9 or 10, same as all my mates from there, and there is no censor, I swear in front of employers, the elderly, teachers, police officers, whoever really, not because I’m obnoxious and don’t care that they find it offensive (OK with the exception of PCs), but because I don’t notice I’m doing it until someone points it out.

because of our client / service user profile swearing at work during daytime really is frowned on – there is even a rule that everyone must only speak English and not their home languages unless they are in the staffroom and everyone there is from that ethnic group which is fair enough.

if working late or alone and with my other staff I might well swear more, especially if it involves explaining things like BT Openreach infrastructure – “fucking cheap shit” is the only words I could find for the current NTE5 telephone sockets, and more so when some random sales call comes in and I take a hit off 120V ringing voltage.

When hauling cables aloft into the roofspace for a new office I think I shocked the builders with the amount of swearing (not only was this unpleasant due to rockwool etc there are two metal beams to bang your head on and the trunking was stacked full.

I’ll have to unearth a pic of them (minus the telephone numbers) – they really were that bad in comparison to the original ones from about 25 years ago. This was was also how I ended up being bit by ringing current as once the front plates are back on I really don’t want to remove them if I don’t have to as the shitty self tapping screws come adrift and with it the entire offices phones/fax/broadband.

I swear way too much, I spent some time catching my self doing it and stopping my self as I’d nearly sworn in the wrong situation a few times without thinking and needed to make sure It didn’t actually happen as I was dealing with customers daily at work at the time lol.

this was a even worse one i got saddled with. they shouldn’t even have been into my rack cabinet let alone dumping the NTEs all loose at the bottom (I had to buy the shelf separately).
one engineer did later say he would properly wall mount them but by this time they are all carrying traffic (in a old peoples home, so emergency phones in lifts, nines calls and all sorts) so they had to be tidied up as best they could be..

I swear somewhat these days. If someone annoys me I will use a good old fashioned God dangit. too much though makes baby Jesus cry and I can’t get another Asbo. Seem to be getting a bit of a cult following these days.

If you shout “CUNT” once, everyone will look at you. If you repeatedly shout “CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT” and glare at everyone as you do it, they’ll look away. Funny old world aint it.
