Around ten years ago I was at the only truck stop in Rhode Island trying to send some paperwork to the company so I could get paid for the load.
The kid (maybe 19-20) trying to scan the documents messed up and it wouldn’t send, twice.
By way of apology he said “sorry dude I don’t know what the F’N problem is. I scanned every F’N page but it wouldn’t F’N send. I must be F’N something the F up. I’ll try it again. I’m really F’N sorry dude.”
I asked him if he used that language with his parents, he seemed genuinely surprised that I was complaining about his choice of words.
“”I asked him if he used that language with his parents, he seemed genuinely surprised that I was complaining about his choice of words.””
It is so common place - regardless of the age of the person using it - that they do not even realize they are using words that are very offensive to others. They DO stare at us like “what is your problem?”
