I said “fuck” like, twice in a 3 hour hangout with a group of “friends”, all something around their mid-20s.

At the end of the night, I was pulled aside by one of them and was told “we like having you hang with us, but you can’t be swearing like that around us.”

These people exist. In much larger numbers than you think. And they are much more demographically spread out than you’d think.

Edit: I don’t really hang with them anymore.

It’s very rare that I’d curse in a business or formal setting. Take me to meet your parents and I can be the picture of civility. If we’re out having casual drinks, well, I’m a Navy veteran and the language may get a bit more colorful. I’m not going to turn the air blue, but if we’re out for 3 hours, you’re likely to hear an f-bomb or two. If that bothers someone, we’re probably not going to hang out together for a number of other reasons.
