What do you think about people who swear ?

Do you judge them ?

I'm actually a very sweary person - but definitely in the right place and time. I have older teens and we can be quite sweary in the house amongst each other, but there's a very clear understanding that its absolutely not the same outside of the house or with guests. I do find telling my 17 year old not to be a dick head or a fucking idiot can help difuse a situation (obviously tone and context are everything here) as it tends to make him laugh so we can have a proper conversation about what ever was going on.

Yes. Not constantly but when appropriate. I don't judge unless it's excessive.

Unfortunately quite a lot. Work in a warehouse, everyone does. I dont swear however around elderly or people I've just met.
Doesn't judge anyone, also worked in a pub so was normal

I wouldn’t say I never swear, but if I do it’s only mildly in a fit of annoyance to myself discreetly.

I don’t swear or allow other people to swear front of my young child, I personally don’t think it’s nice behaviour to swear in front of children.

I think it’s unprofessional in the workplace too (I’m office based), and when colleagues do it it irks me a bit.

Yes but only in certain contexts with people who also swear.
