Have you ever been with people who use profanity non-stop, but never notice or care that you don't?

Answer 1

Great question and great answer by Dr. Debbie.

Yes, i have often been around such people and, no matter how much you try to suggest they flush their mouth, they don't take any notice of their vulgarity. I always have an urge to hand them a dictionary and say "Go. Read it. Learn that you have options." It is such a part of them that they truly don't notice that they are using it around children and, in my case, parrots when i had them ~ used to drive me nuts! I had one parrot that picked up the "f you" thing and then the others started copying him :-(( and it took me a year to convert "that" to "THANK you."

And, it may be just me, but i seem to notice this habit a lot more in people from New York and Chicago and California that i do out of people from the South.

When i was an adolescent, my father had a friend that had the worst habit of saying "ya know?" He'd use the phrase mid-sentence, at the end of the sentence, at the beginning of a sentence. It drove my Dad bonkers. He finally came up with a solution and it worked. Every time his friend said "ya know," Dad would chime in with "No, i don't! Why don't you tell me." It took several times, but his friend finally did figure out what he was doing and then worked to correct it.

I have often thought of doing something similar and, when trapped by a potty-mouthed person, saying either "Flush!" or "Toilet!' every time they say something foul.

Answer 2

I try to avoid people who don't have the intelligence to talk without filling the conversation with profanity. I'm not against a good curse word when it would drive the point home but non stop is just for losers.

Answer 3

Yeah. I'm not offended by hearing curse words, but there is a time and place for them. They are not always appropriate. There is a certain art to using curse words in an effective way, but that way isn't "using a profanity every other word".

Using curse words all the time just makes you sound dirty and mean. I think they are just trying to look cool, and they are major poseurs. When I was in middle school, I knew a lot of boys who talked like that. And when I heard them talk, I just rolled my eyes and thought "Wow, I bet they think they look really cool right now...yeah right!"

Answer 4

Yes, and it is becoming worse every year. I can't stand to be around a person where everyother word is a curse word that comes out of their mouth. They don't care if other people can hear them. If they are younger they don't care if you are older. If they are male they don't care if you are female. I don't want to hear it. Clean up your mouth.

Answer 5

They are every where ,a perplexed people they do not know , or care what they do. and are inconsiderate of every one around them , in older times on the census they were called Idiots. pretty much the word applies today.

Answer 6

yes i know a person the only thing come out on her mouth is curse any where u bring her she always cursing any kind of conversation she curse that's why i dont trust her in my daugther alone i bring her in the oark with my daugther and the only thing she do is curse and it a PARK full of kid. and its sad thats my mother inlaw.

Answer 7

yes, and I have even asked very politely for them to at least stop saying GD. but it falls on deaf ears.,I used to cuss, so I understand to a degreee that it becomes a habit, but it can be overcome.

Answer 8

They don't notice because it is a part of their regular language. When sin is deep - we no longer see it as sin but normal.

Answer 9

Yep. I've just come to accept it. Maybe I shouldn't, but I've known the guy for years, and it's just what he's always done.

Answer 10

Yes, my to be ex- husband, he is an embarrassment,, and during the summer, when the windows are open oh LORD......
