my grandkids are around.  Normally...

I don't talk that way, so It puts me off when I'm around people that do.  I'll 
admit that I will judge a person based on how they're speaking.  Having not 
used that language, I will say that it seems that is becoming the 'normal'  
Even when visiting customers now, those words just are in their natural speech 
now.  

However, I watch TV shows/movies where the language is just a blue, and it 
doesn't seem to bother me.  Youtube videos do bother me though.  Maybe 
something about having a scripted reason to say it, vs just saying to to fill 
time?

  Had a vendor make a visit to my company a while back and during the visit he 
was dropping the F bomb left and right.  I would have thought he would have 
toned it down as my wife was in the meeting.  After he left I told a 
manufacturer’s rep about it and he contacted the guys boss and the next thing I 
know the guy is apologizing.  Was not trying to cause him problems as work, 
just asking for a sanity check.  

  I have been in probably thousands of board and business meetings over the 
years, and don’t recall anyone ever being gratuitous in the use of the F word.  
I do recall one of the big bosses at Harris Broadcast in Quincy Il complaining 
about their director of sales being too salty for high end businesses meetings. 
 

  Then yesterday I was taken to task by a video blogger which had done a pretty 
good job in his Tesla review except for the F bomb every other sentence.  I 
told him it was about as welcome as a fart in an elevator.  He thinks I am too 
old to have a valid opinion.  I guess he is one of those thin skinned 
millennials...

  TV shows it all the time, but I don’t think it is common in the business 
world.  Perhaps Utah is in a bubble?
