   I agree 100%; I've observed & determined the same these many thousands of   
   miles to the west & north of yas. . .

   What gets me is how quick anybody will pop out an F-bomb, when you'd expect    
   them to be more circumspect around a customer. It kind of irks me whebn a    
   cabbie will use that kind of language -- why does he assume I'm the kind of    
   person who's fine with that?   
      
   But, yeah, more likely just his unthinking habit.   
      
   Yup, it's tough with a higher up; you just have to grin(grit) & accept it.   
      
   I had an older lady friend (mom of a girl I liked) who was in hospital &   
   cried  to me on the phone over how badly the nurses spoke at the station, just   
   outside her door (like drunken lumberjacks fighting rabid longshoremen, but   
   more of the worst 4-letter words!)    
      
   It ain't right.    
      
   I used that language, as a kid, & as a teen, hanging out with 'the bad   
   crowd',  but I OUTGREW it! But I didn't swear around seniors, elders, or   
   clergy, or my  partents, even at my worst.
