Do you watch your language at work?

We all curse openly in my office, no one really cares.... Except this new guy who shares the other half of my cubicle (he started monday)...

I said "Bastard" outlound and he looks at me funny as says "Watch your language!!!"

Im like, Wow.. Who the f**k is this guy?
 
i don't very much, but there is a chance that what i'm saying is recorded with my headset... could be embarassing.
 
I work in a factory, unless there's women around, then no I don't watch my language. That is until I heard said women swear too.
 
Hell yeah, most people do where I work, but there is this one guy that doesn't like it and keeps telling us to watch our mouth. He was on vacation the past 2 weeks, so that was great. I still curse, but If I can I try to avoid it in front of him. What I mean when i say if I can is when I feel like it. Obviously I control my voice, so I can either curse or not, so when I feel like it, I do.
 
Watch my language? 🙂 Bwahahahahahaha!

You have to be fvcking kidding me.

😀

Be diplomatic - tell the new candyass you work with to go fvck himself. 😉
 
Depends on what kind of work you mean... When I work at a regular job, the answer is usually a big fscking no, but my other weekly "job" (running the A/V equipment at chuch), well, um, yes, I do watch my language quite closely. 😉
 
Wish I could. I troubleshoot DSL self-installations over the phone for people that call in. Have to explain that the Windows desktop is not where the monitor and keyboard are sitting a lot. Sometimes I have to bite my tongue to keep it from saying "You fvcking idiot you know jack sh!t about computers why the fvck did you think you could install this?!?!?!?":|

sometimes i think there should be a test to buy a computer.

of course, judging by much of what tech support at the computer shop i work at has told my customers, i think there should be tests for the people on both sides of the phone.

That is true. There are a lot of people that dont know much about computers or even customer service for that matter that I work with.

Well..

Are fvck, sh!t, crap, asshole, sonofabitch, and goddamnthing considered cussing?

If not, then of course I watch my language!
😀
 
Yes.

I watch the swear words pour out from my ruby red lips as a soft stream of water which delicately flows to my coworkers ears.

Um... no, I don't swear, at work or elsewhere. But everybody else in my office swears, and it doesn't bother me.
 
I hardly ever swear anyway, and yes, of course I do pay attention to my environment. I don't swear unless I know no one will be offended other than those I do want to be offended.

I would hazard a guess that the reason for this is marketing. Pre sales is all about how easy it is to get up and running. I was unfortunate enough to have worked for a year in pre and post sales support. We used to joke that our job was to make the salesmens lies work. An no I don't swear at work, it is not professional imho.
