I do things...  Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |
I love to talk to people, don't you?
Sometimes people get excited and are happy to insert a wealth of profanity into their every sentence. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) You can't just stick you fingers in your ears or slide a bar of soap into their mouth. How can you tactfully say, " I like talking with you, but I don't appreciate the choice of language"? Help me with this sensitive matter. KT |

I understand how you feel. I spread my fair share of four letter words around but I know some people don't know when it's not appropriate. I work in construction so when I am in the field I will get alot of it when I'm talking to the crafts. If it goes on during the wrong time I'll throw something out there like "you kiss your mother with that mouth" and see if it stops. If not I'll just come right out and tell them that I'll wait to talk to them later when they can control it.
