Next thing you know, all the Hanna-Barbara cartoons will be
removed, like the Looney Tunes were...because of violence,
stereotypes, etc. I guess the classic TV shows (i.e. Batman)
will be the next to go.

Any more females are often times worse than the guys.
Women want to be treated like a man (when it suits them) and use that
sort of language to make them appear cool, hip, with it. In fact it shows the opposite.
We've had people in parking that use that sort of language and I take
them aside (the first day) and tell them that sort of language is
unacceptable. You would be amazed how quickly they drop that language and talk like
somewhat educated people.
My captain uses that sort of language all the time. Ever other word is
GD, F, etc. But being a superior officer its not my place to tell him to
cut it out.

Take heart...just 2 months to go, and it's Bye, Bye, Birdie. <G>

Or like the song "So Long!! It's Been Good To Know You". The verse I recall the most notes:

"I went to your family, I asked them for you. They said 'Oh, please take her!! Please take her!! Please do!! She can't cook or sew, and she won't
scrub your floor!!'. So, I put on my coat, and tiptoed out the door".

Then the chorus went "So long!! It's been good to know you!!" (repeat
twice), then "Been a long time since I've been home...and I've got to be drifting along".

Maybe that'd be better than Johnny Paycheck's song "Take This Job And
Shove It!!". <G>

I agree 100%; I've observed & determined the same these many thousands of miles to the west & north of yas. . .

What gets me is how quick anybody will pop out an F-bomb, when you'd expect them to be more circumspect around a customer. It kind of irks me whebn a cabbie will use that kind of language -- why does he assume I'm the kind of person who's fine with that?

But, yeah, more likely just his unthinking habit.

Yup, it's tough with a higher up; you just have to grin(grit) & accept it.

I had an older lady friend (mom of a girl I liked) who was in hospital & cried to me on the phone over how badly the nurses spoke at the station, just outside her door (like drunken lumberjacks fighting rabid longshoremen, but more of the worst 4-letter words!)

It ain't right.

I used that language, as a kid, & as a teen, hanging out with 'the bad crowd', but I OUTGREW it! But I didn't swear around seniors, elders, or clergy, or my partents, even at my worst.

That's it in a nutshell, "unthinking habit".
So much is said/done without thinking and after awhile it becomes a habit that one doesn't even notice, and worse when others do it around that
person, which re-enforces it to be "normal" (everyone else is doing it).

Yup, it's tough with a higher up; you just have to grin(grit) & accept it.

A co-worker told this person once not to use that language around her and
he pretty much stopped, around her. Of course he was speechless a lot of
the time. :)

I used that language, as a kid

I never did, nor did my parents or siblings or many I was associated
with, for the most part.

& as a teen, hanging out with 'the bad crowd',

Yep.
There were one or two other kids I knew who did, but not close friends of
any sort.

my partents, even at my worst.

I would have soon learned what a bar of soap tasted like if I had.
Kids today (broadly speaking) have little discipline at home. That is
now viewed as some sort of repression of their expression.
