I remember walking by the teachers lounge in like 1st or 2nd grade and seeing them smoke. Totally bizarre experience. Even for the late 80s. 1 Link to comment

To or around students I completely understand. And I understand it isn't acceptable or ok to tell that to someone but as others have said I can see plenty a scenario where that behavior gets a warning rather than a termination notice. But I also work in a kitchen so the environment is a bit different haha. Link to comment

The teachers lounge back in the day was a sacred place...filled with smoke..."irish coffee"...and the exchange of great teaching ideas like this "Joyce...do you have that video on the planets? I want to show that to all my classes tomorrow since it is Friday" Link to comment

Student maybe. Teacher with no kids around: no you wouldn’t. Unless you already have “a file”. Link to comment

I'd think it would be hard to have that job and not complain about the students. Teach’s version of the lounge is nothing like the buildings I’ve been in. But public school is probably more fun than private. Link to comment

Are you really this bothered by it, or just bored enough to keep commenting your disbelief? FWIW, the dude I said it to, immediately laughed. Pretty sure he was baiting one of us to do it. Also, you really don’t know the dynamics of it. In your work setting, it’s unthinkable, I get it. Maybe it’s a Northeast thing, but the F bomb is very common in all the offices I’ve worked at, so to me, it’s not like this major deal you’re making it out to be. Also, there are things this man has said that are 10000% more offensive without using profanity. I am hesitant to even say it, but amongst other things, he’s been overheard as saying he wants to go to the border and start picking off people... so, which is worse - using profanity one time, or things he repeatedly says? I think most of the time he does it to get me and another girl completely worked up about it, but I think he does believe the crap he peddles and either way THAT is not acceptable work discussion.

Bothered, no. Amazed by it, yes. But as you explain more and more it makes more sense. I did sales years ago and some of the people I called and chatted with were in the Northeast and I remember their language on the phone compared to others. I didn't really have the context of it all until now when you explained it more. It sounds more like "haha" instead of so abrasive. And yes, I was bored. 1 Link to comment
