And a prude?

i went out with colleagues on Friday for my managers leaving do. A female colleague sat next to me and just the things she was saying made me cringe. Examples

Teo flies landed on the table on top of each other and she shouted “eurgh they’re doing it!!”.

Someone mentioned fancy dress and going out dressed as a Hooters girls back on the day and she said “walking around with your tits out?!”

I don’t know, swearing doesn’t bother me, or talking about sex etc but just the way she said things made me cringe internally. Am I just a giant prude? 😅

Sounds likely 😕

WhateverMate · 30/07/2023 18:48

Yeah, probably?

ladydimitrescu · 30/07/2023 18:48

Erm, yes

YANBU I'm also not a fan of vulgarity.

I don't think you're a prude at all, but I do think your colleague is juvenile, and needs to mature a bit.

BIWI · 30/07/2023 18:53

She sounds juvenile - and your reaction is a bit over the top.

FictionalCharacter · 30/07/2023 18:54

Not liking that kind of juvenile silliness isn’t being prudish. I thought only children squealed “they’re doing it” at flies.

You are less of a prude than people that make jokes out of sex.
It's usually used to cover up sexual embarrassment

You can be extremely open minded and therefore not at all prudish, and still dislike vulgarity and crudity of expression. I personally wouldn't have enjoyed someone pointing out mating flies and unnecessarily saying 'tits' at the table. If this was my preference, I could simply open my window when my neighbours teen son and friends were in the garden.

She certainly sounds tedious company

FrigginFrig · 30/07/2023 20:07

Does she think she's really funny?
