Is it possible to get through your working day without swear

In my case, no. Swearing is the only way to describe certain situations..eg' Don't touch that, its a pile of shit' or ' The lorry is fucked so we're heading back to fleet services'.

I was out in the truck with Mike one day and we were listening to another driver chatting to his oppo (on the CB - remember them?). Just about every other word was a swear word so just for a laugh, Mike called him up and said "Smiths
(or whatever) driver - can you not manage to say a whole sentence without swearing?"
Quick as a flash he replied "Course I fucking well can! "
Made us chuckle......

Working with a large number of colleagues from Eastern Europe and the Baltic - no. My swearing repertoire has been considerably extended by close contact with, particularly, Poles; haven't managed to quite get my tongue around Hungarian, Latvian and Lithuanian yet. I find myself needing to deploy 'walisz konia' on a daily basis.

Nope. While I do enjoy the challenge of problem solving and figuring out solutions to unique situations. Sometimes it would be nice if things just worked the way they were supposed to. And then there's my stupidity, you try not to swear when you've just belted your thumb with a hammer! 😭

Well, this bloody tablet would not let me spell the full title 'swearing'.
That's got to be worth a 'FFS'

Dead easy really, I'm mostly alone all day and I don't swear with the family about as there's no need to.
Sad innit

worked in the steel industry in sheffield most of my life. came from a middle class family, went to university and when doing a sales job I didnt swear. It wasnt normal. But as I climbed the ladder and had blue collar workers to manage, I soon learned that not swearing was seen as stuck up. Particularly not using the F work. So we didnt have engineers we had "engifuckingears" etc. Didnt mean anything much, was just part of normal speach.
Never found myself using it at home or away from the shop floor.

Yes. Not that I don't but i think that the days I swear would probably be less than the days on which I don't.
