Just because You Can Cuss Like a Sailor doesn't mean You Should

Yesterday, I had to go to the most wonderful of places, that hell-spawned inspired store called Wal-mart. Yes, it's true that they have some great prices and almost everything you could ask for under one roof, but it's a place that I truly had going into. There seems to ALWAYS be a crowd and I always get a strong negative vibe in there.

Yesterday was no different. While I was checking out what I was there for, a couple came down the aisle. Almost immediately my hearing was attacked by "Son of a B***, you think I'm paying that >>>> price for that #### thing! You're &&&& nuts!" which was followed by a "You're just an A$$$, you won't ever do nothing, you f*&&$ing $$$$!"

After I recovered from unwanted, and unneeded, sound intrusion, and managed to stop my ears from bleeding, I looked around to see where this was coming from. This wasn't to young teens, which though again unneeded, may not be as unexpected, but to young adults. And not only that, but they had two children under 5 years old with them. Now, I have to wonder, if they have no issues with speaking like that in public, what kind of things do these kids get to hear at home?

Oh, for those that are curious, this happened in the Hickory NC Wal-mart. I know that something like this would never happen in the Conover NC Wal-mart. It's new and they probably police things like this. :-)

Seriously though, people, you really need to think a little bit before you speak. Cussing like a sailor may come naturally to you, but that doesn't mean that everyone wants to hear it. Don't think so? If this is you, then next time watch how many people attempt to avoid you?

And we wonder why kids have issues? It ain't the video games people.
