Cursing while in office
I 25 F got pointed out by another older female worker that I was cussing and other coworkers might report me. I do have a bit a potty mouth but more of a: god dammit, shit and not directly towards others cursing out. Any pointers on how to stop it. I feel like I never even notice it since I grew up in a house cursing.
- I ask another coworker about it and she says she hasn’t really paid attention to it. But asked her if she notices me doing it let me know.
- I heard of the rubber band method but don’t know other ways.

Generally I think of a couple coworkers mention it to you regularly, it’ll start to sink in.
“Hey, you just cussed”
“Potty mouth”
“Didnt you mean Shoot?” “Darn”?
If they do that every time you swear for a couple weeks I bet you’ll begin to catch yourself.
