Sensitive employee gets angry at her coworker for constantly swearing because of her sheltered upbringing: 'I don’t feel like I should have to sit there and take it'

If you've ever accidentally said the F word during a job interview, I feel you. When you grow up around adults who swear all the time, it can be challenging to remember that there are some situations where that is totally inappropriate. I really have no sense of how much I swear, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet that that means I swear way more than the average person. I'm probably swearing as much as Eric Cartman, but I don't use all the exact words as he does. It's not like I'm dropping the F bomb every sentence. That would dilute the swearing and make it almost meaningless. 

On the flip side, I'm also not paying attention to how much or how little my friends swear. Now that I think of it, I have several friends who really don't swear at all. It makes sense that if you grew up in a more conservative environment where some forms of swearing were seen as a mortal sin, you wouldn't necessarily decide to pick it up when you leave home. It's a somewhat juvenile form of rebellion.
