I went fishing this morning at a local fishing hole that is open to the public. I was fishing for carp, so I had my rods baited and cast out. Sometimes it can be more than a hour before a carp bites, so I was patiently waiting. Meanwhile two couples and their kids come along and fish approximately twenty to thirty feet from me. There were at least 6 kids that I estimate to range from about 5 to 12 years old.
The kids were really loud, but that was okay. Kids need to have fun. What I found somewhat disturbing was one of the men was also quite loud. He seemed unable to say a complete sentence without dropping the F bomb.
"Watch what you are F-ing doing. Shut the F up. F this and F that. It seemed like every third word he said was a variation of the word F@$k.
His kids seemed rather unaffected by their father's cussing. I was almost expecting to hear the children to drop the F bomb, but I never did.
It wasn't that the guy cussed infront of his children that I found disturbing, it was tha. He was doing so in public around complete strangers and his children. I would be very embarrassed if my parents ever acted that way in public. I use the word "disturbing" rather than "offending" because I personally was not offended, but I know many people who would be.
I rarely use profanity. I have no need to do do, even if I hit my thumb with a hammer. (I will simply make a scream of pain.)
What do you think about the cussing dad? Does he need to filter his language, or is it okay to let the F-bombs fly no matter who may be within earshot?
