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?

[ProfessorMoody]

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.

[Sorry10]

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 .

[Aridane]

Deranged

[Petersfield]

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

[SunnySkiesSleepsintheMorning]

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!

[SomeKnobend]

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?!

[Lethaldrizzle]

Or you could just stop shouting and swearing at strangers?

[SomeKnobend]

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.

[sugarcoatedthorns]

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

[cherry2727]

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 !

[Bluntness100]

Cool story bro.

Sigh.

[Aeroflotgirl]

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.

[Blackness78]

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

[BeenThereDone]

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

[Greycat11]

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

[SinglePringle]

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!

[itchybumhole]

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. 😞

[madeoficecream]

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

[itchybumhole]

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.

[kateandme]

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.

[Agentornika]

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

[Wonkypalmtree]

I love you a bit for this

[DeathBySnoring]

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.

[Poppyinagreenfield]

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

[slithytove]

Twin sister or lookalike cousin did it maybe?
