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?

Professor your 10 year old must have heard the word at some point though

He'd never heard the word before, which was how I was able to gloss over it. The reason he asked was because he has been known to rearrange the candles in ASDA to spell boobs.

Love it I also love that people are telling you off for swearing
I'd apologise and just explain that you thought it was impatient driver .

Deranged

Op I have done similar, when my boss curb crawled me to say hi. Have also done it when a male colleague has kind of loomed behind me in a shop to say hi. Both time I assumed it was a stranger harassing me, as like most women I have experienced a fair amount of street harassment. I explained each time that I was just kind of acting on instinct and they understood x

I like a good swear as much as the next MNer but this isn’t funny, it’s cringey for you. You must be embarrassed and I understand why. I get road rage, so I’m in angel either!

Street harassment is really fucking annoying, if he's going to beep at women from his car he's going to be pissing people off - how the fuck were you supposed to know it was him?!

Or you could just stop shouting and swearing at strangers?

I actually wish I reacted this way to beeps. Several times I've smiled and given a wave to beeping, letching white van men thinking "I wonder who that was" only to realise one second later as they've sped off that it wasn't anyone I know being friendly, it was some twat shouting comments about my attractiveness or otherwise as perceived by him (a fat old letch), grim. I really kick myself as then they think by a friendly reaction that what they do is fine. I think you're doing a public service OP, own it.

I've had my arse slapped by car passing me cycling, I've had beeps, and then massive loud shout, more than a lot, I've had beeps then abuse shouted, and it all happens so fast the cars have gone before I can recover from the shock fuck I wish I'd had your lightning reaction at times

I use it. I shouted it at an ex of mine in public. I have a respectable job and a PhD, meaning if people are going to call me rough, it should be Dr Rough, and frankly that sounds like something you find in seedier corners of the internet.

Having a PhD means you're academically intelligent doesn't qualify you for being classy, hence , you could still be "rough".

Op- it's funny but I'm not one for using such profanity so will go with the minority here !

Cool story bro.

Sigh.

Wow the sanctimonious people on here. Op was outside work, crossing the road, some drivers are twats, she made a mistake, like everyone of you do. Nobody is prefect.

Just tell him a shitty ex has the same car; you thought it was him.

There is not an hour of the workday that I wish I could shout this to the bosses in my place....... 😂

Just laugh it off, explain it away.... It will be fine I'm sure.... Wish I could have seen it though

I really wouldn't mention it, in the hope he doesn't either...

I never say cunt to someone in anger, mainly because I am icy fucking cold in a temper and good at uttering ‘fuck you’ put downs in the moment.

My colleague / friend is liberal with her utterances of cunt and she makes it sound most excellent. She’s used it on me.

I’m her boss

It’s made me howl with laughter!

I know it was a terrible thing to shout, but I was in a murderous mood. I was honestly fighting back tears and getting honked at was the straw that broke the camels back.
I don't really know my boss very well. It's a large company and short of saying 'hello' to each other as we pass in the corridor, I haven't really had much of a chance to make an impression on him... until now.
I guess I can forget my plan to make a good impression over the Christmas period and go for promotion next April. 😞

Thats very funny... I think all you can do is apologise and explain and hope they see the funny side... which im sure most decent people would

For those of your commenting on my username. It comes from my cat who was sitting opposite me licking his ring piece when I was grasping for a name to use. First thing that popped in to my head.
My butt hole is just fine thanks. If a little twitchy about meeting my boss again on Monday.

could you just go to him and be honest hun.you sound like you were having a vunerable day so could it help just to tell him that.that you were having a terrible time so this just both frightened and broke your last nerv,but your so sorry. id feel for you then not just think you were an angry lady.

Fucking dementors are out in force tonight....cunts!

I love you a bit for this

Try not to worry OP. If I was your boss I'd be wanting to check that you are ok. I don't think many blokes get the beeping and catcalling that women get just for walking down the street.

And blackness78 has a good suggestion. Just tell him you mistook his car for somebody else's.

Your credibility rating has increased. Your boss will think it funny. We’ve all done it. Myself twice.

Twin sister or lookalike cousin did it maybe?
