excessive cussing = lack of respect?

Speaking for myself, it has never been my way to swear a lot. I do swear from time to time and I swear much more often than my parents ever did. That said, people tend to get shocked when I use a swear word because it's so unexpected for me to swear.

I certainly wouldn't swear like a sailor at my workplace though.

I would feel that person is NOT a friend, and either doesn't know how or doesn't care to express himself in a mature, respectful, intelligent way.

*nodding agreement* I would feel the same.

Whoa! misunderstanding here. This person happen to be friend of mine for a while until last winter. This person never would be my co-worker, because of different field. I am pretty much white collar, while this person is blue collar and works in machine shop. I myself ex work in machine shop and know what it is like, but this person is way overboard.

I am glad to have my job, my job has too much prestige, and most of my co worker is college educated.

Thanks for your feedback and telling me that I am not that insane. :)

Hmm... it's quite so familiar here.

My wife used to work at a plant where so many blue collar workers, many of them, used to cuss and swear almost everyday - too common amongst them so guess that is their way of living. She fed up with them being no respect like that too often so it's good that she left the job several years ago after all. I met few of them seldom by the way, too so I could tell how it must be going inside the plant.

So we could be sure that the blue collar world is pretty much same unlike the white collar world. How sad and how low of them!
