Not everyone likes your language.

How do you react when something /someone makes you mad? Do you handle it calmly, or do you profanely rant about it? If you're anything like me, its the latter. Though I'm not proud of it, I will readily admit I have a sufficiently bad temper, which as you might expect, causes me to use words I shouldn't. So with this being said, I do understand that no one (myself included ) can claim to be pure at heart..., but here's the issue I have with many people.
We all probably know at least one person who, even when not angry or upset, seems to believe that every other word that comes out of their mouth has to be an f-bomb, or something along the lines of one. Now I don't know about you, but I find that highly irritating on several levels. First of all, for those of you who behave that way, your words say a lot about your character. Again, not everyone is perfect, but if you want the people you meet to have a decent first impression of you, your words have to be decent as well. Secondly, some people find that offensive. Its okay (in fact I encourage you ) not to pay too much mind to what people think of you ;however, it is also important to have some respect for the people around you, who more than likely do not want to hear tons of profanity every time they talk to you. And finally, it is often hard to understand what you are talking about when everything you say is preceded by an f-bomb. A while back, a friend and I were in a tattoo shop, and one of the workers there had this problem. I swear on my life I couldn't follow what he was actually trying to tell us because I was so distracted by his language.
Now I'm not easily offended, but I am easily annoyed, and this is one of the main things that do it. Maybe this mostly has to do with my faith and values, but regardless, I'm pretty sure most people I know will agree with me.
Now please excuse my rambling.? :p
