Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker?

  True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I’m around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it’s not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.

    It’s part of my religion, are you trying to suppress my religious rights?

    Or something like that, there’s always an angle to play if someone wants to petty or want to exert their “power” over their coworkers.

      Wow, you’re all wrapped up in power dynamics you have zero sense of courtesy for others.

      Hey, again, you don’t want to play along, that’s fine - you’ll be the one to reap what you sow.

      And in today’s business climate of 360° reviews, HR over-reach, etc, you’ll be the one missing out. Pretty much anyone in a business environment would agree that cussing is inappropriate. If nothing else, it demonstrates someone’s lack of ability to either recognize their audience, or (as in your case), to be dismissive of them.

      Cuss all you want, just don’t cry when you’re offered up during layoffs.

        Curtesy? Dont say dang darn or shoot, theres zero difference, but it’s okay for you to have an outburst of frustration, but not for others?

        Thats hella biased dude.
