Fucking pussies

The title I chose for this post sort of reminds me of an old joke from school:

Q - Whats better than fucking babies?
A - Nothing, its the ultimate.

But, actually what I intended to write about was this story of some pussy at Telstra who was traumatised by bad language at work. He developed anxiety and depression after his bosses told him to “park your little arse in that chair”. He’s now been awarded workers’ compensation for almost 3 months off work because of his emotional distress.

Now I thought, what a fucking pussy! Get a thicker hide, mate. Who’s bothered that much by a bit of swearing? At my work, there’s a fair bit of use of “fuck” and its derivatives (useful word, “fuck” - can be noun, verb, adjective, adverb … just so versatile), “shit” (hardly counts as swearing anymore), and occasionally “cunt”. Its just how it is, and has been most places I’ve ever worked, to varying degrees.

I must say though, that I really can’t stand people who say “fucking” this, “fucking” that in every sentence - that really does demonstrate a certain lack of intelligence and laziness, ie they don’t know or can’t be bothered thinking of another word. And in this Telstra example, where the guy affected by the swearing was a “religious teetoller”, obviously his colleagues and managers showed a distinct lack of sensitivity and basic respect for the guy.

Oh well, fuck, cunt, shit, bum …..take that!!!!
