To be mortified I just shouted 'fuck off you cunt' at my boss.

Bad day, terrible even. Was in a foul mood walking home from work. Crossing road at a T junction with my head down and a car beeped at me as it turned in to the minor road.
Assuming it was an impatient driver who honked at me to get out of the way, I looked up and shouted at the top of my voice 'FUCK OFF YOU CUNT!'
As the last word left my mouth I realised it was my boss and he was pipping his horn and waving to say hello. His window was down so I've no doubt he heard what I said.
We both looked at each other in horror as he drove off.
Shit, shit, shit.
It'll be ok, right?

So glad this had a good ending at work.

If it makes you feel any better, I once accidentally gave the middle finger to a student's father. Luckily, he thought it was hilarious, but I was mortified and completely ashamed of myself.

People who think that swearing at someone in the street is the height of awfulness but then go on about their superior morality in order to make the op feel shit when she just found out a family member has terminal cancer...all I can say is you have a desperately warped sense of moral values. I can't stand this hyacinth bucket pearl-clutching at swearing while quite happy to be sanctimonious, self-righteous, and nasty. You can clearly have the language of a saint and yet still be a horrible person!

@lily1110 Oh, that's MUCH better than mine!

SignOnTheWindow · 01/10/2018 18:05

And @itchybumhole, I'm so very sorry about the horrible news you had today. Flowers

DameFanny · 01/10/2018 18:06

I'm so relieved it's worked out for you OP, and I wish all the best care for your loved one.

And for whoever said Shouting and swearing in the street is extremely unbecoming a picture I found from the Badass HERstory project -

The number of times i wished i'd shouted that in my boss's face - i am in total awe of you StarStarStar

Thank you to everyone who cheered me up over the weekend and saw the funny side.
With stressing about my poor sister and how long she has left, the thought that I might be sacked on Monday morning was too much to bear.
Gutted about our family's bad news, but that's another thread. I'm so happy I'm still employed and got away with calling my boss a cunt!

In future I'll perhaps try and reign in my language a bit. I honestly didn't realise how terribly offensive people still find the C bomb.
For me it was a perfectly acceptable thing to shout at some cunt that I wanted to fuck off, but I'll try and be more 'becoming' and less 'common' from now on. For the cunts.

I really hope your boss sees the funny side! What do you do for work? Do you get on well normally?

SarfE4sticated · 01/10/2018 18:26

I love a happy ending. Hope your family member is OK OP. Your Username has made me feel a leetle queasy though!

Aahh I’m so glad that your boss took it well and that things are ok at work @itchybumhole Would have hated it if all the miserable cunts on here were right and he would have been disgusted 🙄 so sorry about your family member though 💐

For the record I’m not rough, common, uncouth or any of the other words used to describe you. But I do love a good swear and cunt is a good one!

Lethaldrizzle · 01/10/2018 18:30

So you've just called a bunch of posters cunts? Did I get that right? Way to go.

itchybumhole · 01/10/2018 18:33

Thanks Lethal. Grin

Your boss sounds like a good cunt, right enough. It'll be a relief though.

'Puts hoody on and flicks the Vicky at all the pearl clutchers in this thread' 🖕

ShirleyPhallus · 01/10/2018 18:41

I’m proper posh and love the word cunt, innit

Good for you OP. You sound lovely and sorry about your sister Flowers

nocoolnamesleft · 01/10/2018 18:51

To be fair, when you hear a horn beeping, 9 times out of 10 it's an over entitled aggressively lasciviously leering fucking cunt that's doing it. Rather bad luck for it to be your boss. Still, your boss's contrition implies that he may have learned that beeping at women in the street is usually an aggressive act, and thus best avoided.

Purplealienpuke · 01/10/2018 18:55

You seem to have upset the pearl clutchers 🤣🤣. To be fair that doesn't take much, the mere mention of 'all inclusive holiday to Spain' can tip some MNs over the edge!!
It's just a word , seriously, get a grip.....
It was outside working hours and not deliberately aimed at your boss per se, it could have been anyone driving the car! Everyone has an off day sometimes.

Spiderbabe13 · 01/10/2018 18:59

Firstly,I must congratulate you on your name...hilarious Grin secondly,you're an absolute legend shouting that.on a serious note,speak to the boss and tell them you'd had the day from hell and you thought it was an arsey driver.dont worry about it too much.im sure you're boss will be understanding.

QueenOfMyWorld · 01/10/2018 19:04

I havent rtwt but to the pp who's daughter called her boss a cunt how the hell did she get promoted? 😁

QueenOfMyWorld · 01/10/2018 19:05

My boss was once on annual leave on the Monday so the previous Friday I said cheerfully see you next Tuesday.sooo satisfying

ReadMyLipss · 01/10/2018 19:05

I knew that any vaguely normal person would find this funny, and I'm glad that your bosses did.

I'm so sorry about your sister though.

Oohlaalaa81 · 01/10/2018 19:06

@Itchy sorry for the cross post, loooong day! So glad it worked out well for you!
