My workplace ratio is like ummmmm Over 100. I think cursing is a requirement!!!!!
To Cuss disliker:
That does not mean they would not curse in everyday life. Im not defending it but just sayin’. but anyway Forest Gump? yeah not even a real character. I’m sure people back in older centuries cursed, I mean who do you think created the words.
I meant real person. not real character.
I’m 25, by far the youngest person in my office (of ten people), and don’t curse nearly as much as my supervisor and the director of our office, both of whom are around 60. Their profanity level is usually around 50-70, but when they’re angry about something (which happens quite often), it soars to near 100. Any time you hear you f this, or f-ing that, or a**hole, you know not to bother them. I also have the maturity level of a nine-year-old whenever they go off, because I have to work extremely hard not to burst out laughing. And, I swear, my supervisor just muttered something about “the f-ing report..” as she walked by my cubicle as I was writing this. She’s, like, 5’3 and looks like the most non-threatening person in the world, but she curses like a sailor and legitimately frightens people. It’s pretty funny.
I work for a very large professional services firm with extensive client relationships, so officially cursing is highly frowned upon. However, I talk to senior managers informally all the time, and a number of them are free with the curse words. So…officially: 0. Off the record: 15.
The CQ (curse quotient) at my office is remarkably low, and so I try not to swear unless it just slips out. If I had to rate our office on a scale of 1 to 10 I’d put it at a 1…and I’m for sure a 6 or 7. Example: last week I banged hip on the corner of my desk and it hurt like hell so I let slip an f-bomb. Usually, though, I try to control myself in public…when I’m with my friends, though, that’s another story!
on a regular day, my workplace is about 80-90 except when talking to clients…
hmmm…i have this boss who says it pretty much every 5 words. if you took the f-word out of his vocab, the guy couldn’t function. he speaks spanish and i even hear him say it that language as well, and he also really likes to say s**t. i try not to say stuff casuall unless i’m complaining to a friend in the office. I’m 27 and they are all old enough to be my parents and cuss more then me, esecially el jefe there. yeah, he annoys me….
I work in customer service and it is insane how many people think cursing at a stranger is an acceptable and appropriate way to resolve a problem. You have no idea how much I’d like to swear back at those g–d— motherf—ers.
Annie, I’m so flippin p.o.’d at you for dissin’ my man Tim Daly’s new show ((“I f—ing hate Private Practice.”). This computer IS my office, so it counts if I say, You d*uchebags at EW better not bogart Daly’s shot at a friggin successful show AGAIN this year. Uh, remember The Nine? Didn’t think so. D*mbasses.
I’ve been working for the past 5 weeks for a new company, I am the personal assistant to a 25 year old that can’t seem to say a sentence without 5 cuss words in it. She throws things and screams F-you, to her dad (who is the owner of the company) She brings her 2 year old to the office about once a week and screams at him all day long to “leave her the f*** alone and go play.” Quiting my job isn’t possible. Has anyone else ever worked with someone like this?? Oh, and she checks everyones emails and whenever anyone is on the phone, she listens in on the conversations from her phone.
