When the hell do you hear cussing on the street? I remember one time lately, and it was a couple punks in a schoolyard.

Pretty much spot on here... I cuss good deal naturally when I'm hanging out with friends but generally in public I curb my language ( exceptions being when we go out drinking and bowling ).

hehe...Clint cussed. No cussing on the boards.

I remember one time I went into Auto Zone looking around. Well there were two men standing at the counter casually talking but one of the guys was cussing like crazy. Not in an angry way but just in his normal speech.
I mean it was gd this and gd that and mf this and mf that until finally the manager walks over to the guy and says "Excuse me but will you please refrain from cussing in here? This is a family store and its not appropriate to cuss like that." The man was like So he refrained from cussing any more then soon left the store.. i was totally shocked..

Somewhat OT, but I gave a guy an earful in my alley a few years back. I have several neighbors with small children. They tend to play in the backyards abutting the alley, so I'm sensitive to what happens back there.

My neighbor had a buddy over, and they were leaning against the garage smoking and talking. The neighbor is a soft-spoken guy, but the buddy was loud... what I call an 85 IQer. Quite literally, every fourth or fifth word out of his mouth was the F-bomb.

I immediately became irritated, but I didn't want to piss of the neighbor. So I started counting. When I got over something like 60 utterances of that choice conversation gem in about two minutes time, I approached him and called him out on his behavior. He seemed genuinely shocked.

Some people consider it a dialect, or a language variant. They don't have the self-consciousness to evaluate their language until someone smacks them in the face with it.

Incidentally, I did the exact same thing in a Subway once (they make the best sandwiches anywhere, so shut up). I just walked over to the guy (who was across the room - it's not like I was in the next booth), and said, "Do you know you said f**k 83 times in the last four minutes?", and walked out. He responded with something clever, like, "Yeaaaahhhh."

In my office they make it a point to talk vulgar and the more disgusting it is the louder they talk about it. Thank the good Lord for headphones..
I get tired of hearing about what they'd do to some hot chick or dropping f-bombs all over the place..

Its weird.. my boss has talked so much crap that he is actually a bit worried that someone will turn him in for the lewd remarks he's made about women, religion and race.

Crazy..

I cuss too, but not in public. I used to manage some motocross tracks and we have tossed out parents for screaming cuss words at their 10 year old rider for not winning a race. Security has approached them and kindly asked them to refrain from cussing and even had the Dad's want to fist fight.
Youth ball games are the same way. Not all parents, but a few just go nuts at their kid's game. So your kiddo sux and isn't going to be a pro player, sit down and shut up. I feel sorry for the kids just trying to have some fun.
