In my last job (working for a team of salesmen) I made it quite clear that I didn't like swearing for the sake of it.  I certainly utter the odd cussword from time to time, but I don't drop them into everyday conversation.

Hence, on the one occasion that I swore at one particular manager, I rendered him speechless!  He'd been messing about, demanded that I stay late to finish something and ten minutes later still hadn't given me whatever it was I was supposed to be doing.  At that point I got up, picked up my bag, and informed him that in a week's time I'd be gone (I was working my notice) and wouldn't be around to wipe his "backside" any more, so he'd better start sorting out his "flipping" working methods now in readiness for my replacement.  And with that I walked out with my head held high.  Contrite didn't even begin to describe him the next day.
