What's wrong with people?

Two men, one 20s other indeterminate age 50ish, could have had a hard paper round, got on my bus, every other word F. Older guy wants plenty of legroom to "stretch the fuckers". They're just legs fgs. He's got phone wallpaper that says "I identify as a cunt". I think they're pointless.

A ‘hard paper round’?

Wow. They use this a lot where I live (north) but it always makes me wince.
Fuck is said a lot, everyone is a daft cunt, soft cunt or just a cunt.
Dogs tend to be called daft cunt mostly.
Not popular opinion on here but the phone wallpaper I could happily adopt, made me laugh. Really laugh.

Dirty jobless chavs! Its antisocial to be swearing all the time on public transport. They sounds horrible and grim OP. It’s mad how people are offended by the word chav but I bet they wouldn’t want their DC sitting near them 😂

Yep. We live among a very low quality public to be honest 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was with you about the excessive swearing - and I have a vocabulary like a sailor - as I think it should be moderated around children.

BUT you lost me “foul mouthed pair of tattooed chavs”. Your attitude is far more offensive to me.

Tattoos are no longer a marker of social class. That’s your prejudice showing.

Chav is a disgusting way to talk about someone who has had less privilege and less opportunity than you.

Saying ‘chav’ is ‘disgusting’ and ‘offensive’ but being loud and intimidating and swearing on a public bus is perfectly fine? Yeah ok. 🙄

Just fyi - your privelege is showing by policing the language of the working classes, and one would argue, chippy women who object to thuggy male behaviour.

YANBU op. There is no consideration in society for others, and posts like the ones on this thread defending it are part of the reason why we can’t all have common decency anymore.

No. You're being deliberately obtuse and I didn't say that. I care what people I care about think of me, not blokes who swear on public transport.

You did say that.

I don't give a fig what they think or what you think of me for that matter.

Yes totally judgy of people who behave like that in public.

They don't care what anyone thinks because they're an example of the self entitled people who play loud music, take up too much space on public transport and walk down the street staring at their phones and think everyone should dodge around them. There's a lot of them about.

Yes, annoying. But I find it far more irritating when people create threads like this to make self righteous and generalised remarks about “types” of people.
If you were bothered by their conversation you could have said something. Instead you create a bitchy thread to talk about 2 unknown people on the internet. It doesn’t get more pathetic really.

Op, you also said you don't care what anyone else thinks of you. Doesn't that just make you the same?

I was responding to someone who talked about this being usual in Scotland and Ireland. Why don't you stop being so snippy.

I know what you mean OP. I think some people think it's cool to swear and I have a mate like this who effs and jeffs and I notice people looking at us when we are out, but I wasn't brought up to swear constantly and never reciprocate.

I'm not perfect and can turn the air blue if I bang my big toe, but in life I tend to be polite. My parents were polite. I've never heard them say the eff or CU next Tuesday word, but a bloody might have slipped out over the years!

"don't give a fig what they think or what you think of me for that matter."

So why should they care what you think of them?

Op, they sound awful. So many don't seem to be able to ever string a sentence together without invenctive.

Wonder what they do when they're really angry, because they leave themselves nowhere to go verbally if everything that comes out of their mouths is ripe.

Acting with a bit of decorum, especially in public, seems to be a dying art.

So?
Sound like a couple of harmless fuckers. Depending on where you come from 'fuck' is a jack of all trades word. In Glasgow & Ireland it's a verb, noun, adverb and adjective and even a full sentence. All at once.

I'm on the east coast of Scotland and agree. That's how it's used here.

As is cunt. Although I hate that word personally so don't use it.

They are enjoying themselves and using the natural dialect of their class and culture, not bothering you, keep your sticky beak on your own biz

Being a dick head cuts across all classes
