Hey, when did it become commonplace and acceptable for employees to use profanity in public? When we're dealing with the public, let's talk about it. Hey, everybody, welcome back to the podcast. Welcome to Weis's thoughts. I am Terry Weiss, and I am so glad that you. Yes you, I'm talking. I'm talking to you. You you right over there. I've decided to spend some of your valuable time with us today. I truly appreciate each and every one of you, my valuable listeners. I hope you're having a great summer. Summer is really chugging along, ain't it. I mean, we're we're coming up on August, my friends, We're coming up on August already. Yes, yes, yes, I know August already. Isn't that crazy? That's just uh, that's crazy nuts. And it's been a fast summer this year. People I talked to, I said, hey, is it me or is it? Is it really crazy that this summer, actually this whole year, but this summer really seems to be flying by. And I had one person tell me, well, you know, Terry, the older you get, the faster time goes. I said, well, that freaking sucks. You know. Remember remember being a youngster for the younger people out there, or new middle aged people out there like myself, remember being younger? And did you do what I did? Did you say, man? I can't wait till I grew up. Man, I can't wait till I get out of school. I'm going to have a job and my own money, and I can buy whatever I want. No, that's not how it works. Because you have obligations. You have either rent or a mortgage. You some of us have car payments, insurance, utilities. You know, you got to put clothes on your back, food on the table. Good lord, I don't know this adulting thing. I don't know. I guess there ain't no other way to live right now. But anyway, welcome, Welcome one and all, Welcome to the podcast. Welcome to Why's Thoughts. Let's let's get this shindig going, shall we? So, as I talked about in the opener, I want to ask this question today and talk a little bit about this. When when, my friends, when did it become commonplace and acceptable for employees to use profanity in public? Rape and Ray were and they're dealing with the public using profanity, foul language. I'm talking about swearing for those of you who don't know what profanity is, but I'm sure a lot of you do. When did this become common practice and acceptable? Did I miss a memo? Did I miss an email or something, Did I miss an instant message a video thing? And I'm noticing that we're not just talking about typical cuss words like ah shit or damn it or son of a bitch. By the way, this program doesn't have a disclaimer, you know, the adult language. I mean, we're talking about employees dropping F bombs, okay, in presence of the public, of the customer. And I've experienced this myself, have you. It's just to me, it's just unconscionable. I mean, I have to deal with the public, you know, in my various businesses that I've run and do run now, and I don't. I mean, I've had customers drop an F bomb when they're not at me, but they're saying, oh man, I went to this F and place the other day and blah blah blah blah blah. And I get it. But as a business owner or as a representative of an organization, I would be really okay, really hard for hard hard pressed. Yeah, that's what I want to say, hard pressed to drop. I mean I might drop, you know, and say ah, damn it, I wish I would have done that, or oh man, damn it. But as far as other words, and especially the almighty bomb. I don't think so, my friends, I don't think so. It's just to me, it's just bad form. Uh. And I have been witnessed to it directed in my presence when I was dealing with a representative of organizations. I'm not going to say them. I'm going to be you know, I'll be classier. But I just don't know when this became commonplace and acceptable. See, yeah, I get go drop a few f bombs today while you're out there at the counter there, Joe, Mary, go ahead, don't worry about it. And the general public seems to not mind, you know, I mean, I'm I don't want to come off coming off as a ken. What's a ken? Well, a Ken is the opposite of a Karen, like a prude. How dare you say the word damn it? No? I mean certain words damn at her? Oh you know shit, I guess. But I try to refrain from that now in my personal life, talking with friends, et cetera. Not when I am in a business capacity, in or a business situation. I don't use profanity. But I believe me I can. I can have a potty mouth just like you. Know, the most foul truckers are see sailors. I can do it just as good as anybody. My friends believe me, and missus w oh oh, she puts me to shame. If there was an Olympic event for profanity at times, she would be right up there in the top three gold, silver, or bronze medal. Don't don't tell her. Don't tell her. I said that, because I'll be sleeping on the couch for the next six months. I don't want that. Don't tell her. I said that, okay, But you know, I just don't get it. I don't get where it has become acceptable in society, especially American culture, for employees of an organization while they're dealing with the customer, i e. The public, to use especially some really hierarchical profanity. And if you don't know what howierarchical is, and that is how you say it. I learned that new word on a recent project. I didn't know that word, but I like it, so I guess I'm just gonna throw this out there. Hey, you know, mind your manners, mind your language. If you're working for an organization, even if your coworkers are doing it, I would just say you know what, you rise above it. Why don't you be the better person? I think that would be cool. Okay, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, give it a try, see what happens, all right. The other thing I want to talk about here, and it's like I said, we're not doing a long episode today on the White Thoughts podcast, but thank you for sticking around. And remember whys's thoughts dot com. You can email me at Terry at wis's thoughts dot com you have any feedback or what have you. Another thing I wanted to bring to your attention or that's been on my mind is Karma. She is a vengeful woman. Karma she is. And I've always said there were some situations that have come that have happened to me in the past by certain organizations which shall remain nameless in individuals. And I don't want it to sound like I'm whining. Please don't take it that way. I'm not whining. And I never would visibly how do I say this diplomatically? I would never really wish harm for anyone. I think that's kind of a crappy thing to do. But what I've always said, I've always said, and you can ask anyone who knows me you what you put out, you will get back, and sometimes tenfold. So if you're a real piece of garbage and treat people at garbage and try and screw them over in business or screw them over in life, and you're just not a good person or you're not a good organization, Eventually the mistress Karma comes around and says, ah, my turn. And I've always said this to my wife, missus w here. I've always said, you know what, because she'd be like, well, you know who Ishia, I said, sweetheart, love darling, my bestie. Let Karma do her thing. Yes, And as much as you just want to grind your teeth and clench your fists and shout out to the sky, just wait, I've told her, and I've said this to others. I said, hey, you know that people have come to me in the past and said, you know, did you know what so and so did to me? He caught and you know, I got a good mind to he said, Eh, let it go, man. And I know it's hard, believe me. I I'm not preaching to the choir. I've had instances where I've wanted to, you know, go stick my foot up someone's ass. Trust me. Many times in my life there we go with the profanity, han terry, but that this is my show, so I can do what I want. There's many times I've wanted to do that. But when I have learned my friends over many a year, is that Karma is an unforgiving mistress. She is an unforgiving mistress, and she will get you. She has her tally, she has her scorecard, and she will come for you. And I learned this week of a major karma reckoning. Now, no one was hurt with this karma reckoning. No one was hurt or anything, but there were some serious consequences faced by an organization and an individual in it. Again, nobody was hurt, thank goodness. You know I don't wish harmon anybody or anything like that, you know, trust me. But there was a major reckoning and it it happened sooner than I thought. And when I was informed of this by I caught one of it be a third party and I verified it, I sat back and I chuckled. I admit it. And now think of me what you will. But this particular person has suffered some great financial loss. Let's put it that way due to the fact of Karma, that unforgiving mistress caught up with them. And I just sat back and chuckled. And I said to my wife when she told me, hey, did you hear what happened? Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And I won't mention the names again, because I'm that kind of person. I like to keep it real, keep it decent. I'm not going to drag people and organizations through the mud, because again, Karma takes care of it. And when the wife told me earlier this week, hey, remember and I said, yeah, well, here's what happened to them. They blah blah blah blah blah, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And it's costing them tens of thousands of dollars now. And I chuckled, and she says, you were right, You were right, I said, And I tell you, Karma's an unforgiving mistress. She will get you in the end. If you act like a piece of shit, or your organization acts in a shitty manner, it might not happen the next day, next week, next month, or even next year, even next decade, but eventually, eventually you just waited out. My friends, don't put yourself in any trouble. Don't go off half cocked and run all emotional and get your get yourself all worked up in your blood pressure up and you know, and get your health in jeopardy and ruminate. Just say you know what, have a good scream, say you know, blast a few profanity laced words out in the open air, maybe in the woods or something, and let karma take its course, because it will happen. And then what you do, like I say, is you sit back and when when she comes around, when karma knocks on the door and comes in and visits either of these organizations or these individuals or individuals, you pop yourself some popcorn and have a beverage of your choice or what have you, bag of chips, and sit back and enjoy the show. That's all you can do. And you can take solace in the fact that you didn't sync to their level, all right, and that karma happened. Not bad, huh, not bad. So on that wonderful note, my friends, be good to yourselves, be good to others. As always, I thank you for listening to the White Thoughts podcast. Asked, I will catch you on the flip flop.
