Do you have to speak like a teenager? (Colleague - Not pit worthy)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Dear work, and now car-pool, mate,

I can be as low-brow as the next guy, and am not easily offended. But do you need to use the word “fuck” in almost every sentence? Hey, I’m no prude, but we’re both semi-professionals, so could you just tone it down a bit and speak with some civility? I also don’t need to hear about your sex life with your girlfriend, sorry fiancée, either. Oh, and you should probably lose the word “gay” from your vocabulary, whether it’s intentionally being used tongue-in-cheek or not.

I’m starting to realize why your first wife divorced you. I hope the one on deck is either exactly like you, or can change your immature ways.

This is why I’ve started browsing on my phone when you drive, and why I’m also not as outwardly gregarious anymore.

Although you want to come across as “Mr. Macho-fun-back-slapping-great-guy,” I think you’re actually quite insecure and you believe the act you’re putting on in some way masks this personality defect.

Can you now agree to act your age? Please? I’m getting to the end of my rope.

:rolleyes:

If we may add other instances – I’ve about had it with the 60+ y.o. woman in our office who has a similar, if not quite so offensive, habit, but stemming from the same desire to sound like a teenager. It is NOT professional to get off the phone with a customer and comment how he or she is just sooo reTARded. Or such a REtard.
