Am I getting old (I am only 39 and I will be 40 at the end of this year) or are people swearing in general more often these days?
On Monday I picked my daughter up from Guides and as I walked into the school grounds there were some young lads playing football. They are in P7 I think as I see them in the morning when I drop my children off at school. One of them was saying, "Whay don't you f***ing do that, blah, blah. Oh, for f***s sake, blah, blah, f**ing that!".
Then, I was with my daughter (she is 10 by the way) in the Co-op buying some bread and there were two teenagers behind me. One of them was swearing loads, "So I said **** that, and then he said **** off, blah, blah, blah"
It really sounded so rough. Do they think they are hard or something?
Anyway, I was getting quite fed up with hearing the word **** and I did not want my 10 year old to constantly hear the f word, so I just turned around and asked him to watch his language.
He mumbled something and then stopped, no back chat or anything.
I honestly think that swearing has become so commonplace within some people's vocabulary that they do not realise that what they are saying is quite offensive.
Then again, maybe I am closer to becoming an OAP or being a troll than I think...
The other eescalated to an assault but I restrained her when the police turned up and i released her she attacked me again and spat at me. She then claimed i hit her first and she was defending herself despit the enite incident being witnessed by about 20 peoplle and being captured on CCTV ..she git charged she still comes here she gives me the V's and calls me a bag head these days ...she has issues though.
