To think that swearing under my breath is often needed to get through the day

Just that really.

'Just fucking go bed!' Has been coursing through my brain for the last 2.5 hours at least. I didn't say it out loud, but I think I've muttered it a few times on the way back down the stairs for the millionth time in an hour

I saw a report that swearing helps with pain tolerance - volunteers put their hands in buckets of ice and the ones allowed to swear could keep them in longer.

I find I actually need to say it loudly to reduce any pain at all. Muttering will not cut it for me! I have tried in my head and muttering if the children are in earshot but really what I need right now is a soundproofed room full of smashable stuff I can just go andand scream it all out whilst breaking stuff, Wink

All the fucking time.

It's gets worse as they get older as the door shuts and you do the finger!

Microsoft access doesn't work unless you swear at it.

I never fucking swear

Ha, I bet that bloody Microsoft paperclip got sworn at more than any other idiotic fake computer avatar in history

No, muttering doesn't cut it here either. Sometimes a great big loud FFS!!!! makes all the difference to my mood!

What am I going to do about the children? One day they are going to start saying 'oh for FUCKS sake'

I have friends who think I don't swear in RL

My toddler says Ssake a lot. I am grateful he has not yet mastered the f sound. Will have to learn to mutter better.
