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

[itchybumhole]

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?

My boss would think that was hilarious, which it is.

I'm sure it'll be fine OP

People who say cunt aren't automatically rough...

You have cheered me up

I know mumsnet loves the word cunt but ut in the real world must passers-by would be pretty shocked to hear somene yell Fuck off you cunt.
So you'd all be ok with your 6 year old hearing that if you were walking past?

So you'd all be ok with your 6 year old hearing that if you were walking past?

Yes. Because you never heard occasional cursing on the street as a child, I suppose? I did, I understood - because it was explained to me - that those were bad words but sometimes adults lost their temper, and that was it. I wasn't traumatised or became - horror of horrors - "rough".

The pompous gits on their high horses evidently don’t realise how they come across

As opposed to women who shout "Fuck off you cunt" at strangers?

My 10 year old asked me what a cunt was last weekend, because someone had helpfully spelled it with cushions in the local supermarket.

I'm just thinking of all the women who post on MN because a man has shouted obscenities at them in a minor traffic accident...

Do you actually have an itchy bum hole? Could this be the cause of your bad day?

Oh @itchybumhole, absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂

Oh, I did something like this to a (lovely) friend of my dad not long after I'd passed my driving test. He beeped at me and I gave him the finger thinking he was hassling me.

He never mentioned it to me or my dad and my driving has been impeccably well mannered since. I was mortified

I think this one is best sorted out via text or email because you are both going to be embarrassed if you have to discuss it face to face. I'm sure he will realise that you didn't realise it was him when you said that, but a sincere apology explaining how mortified you are, how you were having a really bad day, etc should get a sympathetic response...

😂

oh god, thats the sort of thing i would do

Professor your 10 year old must have heard the word at some point though (not suggesting from you!) otherwise how would they have known it was a word? If the cushions were coincidentally arranged as 'cont' or 'cung' etc it wouldn't have been a word to ask about?

Omg I love you

So you'd all be ok with your 6 year old hearing that if you were walking past?

I'd be amazed if there isn't a six year old who hasn't heard cunt in the schoolyard or a raft of other swear words at break time. I was certainly more than aware of the word cunt and a whole heap of other words that would make you blush as I was a regular at football matches from that age onwards as are countless other children.

Oh dear, hope your day improves

I'm with Boopsy and co, I work in a factory and the only place I ever hear that word is Mumsnet.

Please report back on Momday! I'm sure if you explain all will be fine. My boss would laugh and wind me up about if for ages.

Genius 😂😂😂

Oh god OP. I’m sorry but I’m howling 😂
