Anyone Curse Like A MoFo When Startled? | ADHD Information
OH BOY! It's time for me to start focusing on not cussing!
Yesterday my husband, me, our friend and some co-workers played in a Dodgeball tourney.
Well...In one of the games, my friend knocked this girl out. I was right up in front of her to pick up the ball, and she threw the ball HARD right into the side of my head. I was literally 2 inches from her and she wails this ball at full speed into the side of my head! My neck and back have already been hurting, so it did not feel great at all. My response? "F-IN B!" It was not directed at her totally, as for some reason when people drop something, stub their toe, or hammer their finger instead of a nail, my words of choice are F-IN B! I then left the gym to compose myself, then one of girls that was running the tourney comes out and starts berating me like a 5 year old for my "language". The girl wasn't real nice and didn't take a great approach to things.
Well, I go back to play and we're waiting to begin the game. The girl who is helping run the tourney that gave me the little tongue lashing and this guy who is also running it are sitting there talking about me and pointing! I just calmly walked up and said "Is there a problem?" and the girl starts running her mouth, so I tell the guy I'd speak to him (I worked with him years ago). The guy is cool as I apologize for my bad choice of words, but my husband comes out and says how the girl is still inside running and talking to a lot of people about what happened. I said again and again that I was sorry, and let's just please drop it.
I finally just left.
I try very hard to never curse, but when I'm scared...SH*T seems to be my word of choice.OMG. This cracks me up. This is me too. I am a girl that everyone thinks is very sweet until someone takes advantage of it, or I am scared and then I go ape sh*t.It happened today. My co-worker is beyond description--she's a combination of ignorant and very aggressive and today she repeated the details of an argument I had come up with and made it sound like it was her own today in a meeting, as well as saying incorrect things but acting as though she was an authority. I went completely Nancy Grace on her and surprised everyone.
Also, when I'm afraid and I need to get through something scary, I start to INVENT swear words...but they always start with "MotherFU**ER!" It happened once on a hiking trail when a stupid guy led us onto a dangerous trail and I ended up in a small avalanche and was lost (because he marched ahead of us).
The other time was at Nordstrom with a co-worker for a little lunchtime shopping trip. We were in the crosswalk and an older woman drove right up on my leg in her car. It not only startled me but as I took a step forward, she inched up on my leg some more. I turned around and let out the biggest, "MOTHERFU**ER!!!!! WHAT THE F#*! DO YOU F*#ING THINK YOU ARE DOING???!" :D My co-worker is very proper and stood there in what felt like one of the most awkward moments of my life. She was basically silent as we started "shopping" - finally, she said something like, "I've never heard you talk like that before." Yah, I dont' just start out with few "tester" words like "damn," or "hell" - I just go straight for the top.
:D

Oh that is way too funny Melly!!!!!!!!!!!
I had to respond too, because usually I always cuss like a truck stop waitress! LOL
I do try to control it though since my son is now 4 and repeats EVERYTHING!
Yeah Bluebird...my husband and I compliment each other as he's very quiet and laid back, doesn't let much bother him. Me? I'm the one that gets fired up, will tell ya where to go and how to get there, and in the immortal words of my father, "My mouth is my worst enemy."[QUOTE=bluebird38]Gosh Mel, it sounds like she had it coming. Better a swear word than a punch in the face(?) Is it just me? Or was this a church game, in which case a middle finger is also usually involved.
:D

LOL! My best friend and hubby were actually surprised that I didn't smack the girl upside the head, but I was angelic that day Now, the younger college guys that had the gall to talk about my rear and what they'd like to do to it in front of my husband? A good b**** slap would have been in order if my hubby would have told me right when it happened. He knows how I am so he kept it for the drive home conversation. He did tell me that when he said "excuse me, that's my wife you're talking about!" the kid said "Oh, sorry man, I don't want any trouble." and my hub said "No man, you're lucky my wife didn't hear you! You need to fear her more than me!" 
:D
If you look nice, we should go out. nevermind, just read that you were married. I cuss all the time. I used to love to cuss, but anymore I wish I would chill a little. I had to respond to this one! My son loooves to scare me just to hear what will come out of my mouth. It's vile, cruel things that a mother that would happily die for her children SHOULD NOT SAY! Good thing he thinks it's hilarious. He's not gonna be laughing when I fall out and have a heart attack. My mom is the same way though. She was meeting with some very important clients of my dad's a couple weeks ago, and they were standing outside talking when a huge boom of thunder hit. My mother screamed a wretched stream of profanities and bolted inside. My dad loves to tell that story.
Reading the bit about being startled and hitting people or otherwise going into acts of aggression hit home for me.I'm a 34 y/o woman. To look at me, I look nice. Not beautiful, but girl next doorish. I went to a Christian school for 12 years (but am not religious now). I am every parent's dream for their son to bring home, that kinda girl. A bit bookish looking, but attractive and certainly not "tough" or "mean" looking.
But man oh man... When startled by loud/unexpected noises you should HEAR the curses that come out of my mouth! Fortunately, my husband loves me in spite of my sailor's mouth... I think I am the trash talkingest woman most men have met when startled.
I let out it ALL... Something drops and shatters and in an unchecked moment I might yell "MOTHERF-ER!" I have actually yelled "SONOFAB****" so frequently when startled that my husband often now sings a song he made up inspired by my little Tourette's spasm. (Goes something like "Sonofa... you ******* ****ing loser... Sonofa*** you ******** ****ing ****. You big stupid loser. You stupid ****ing *******"... Yeah you get the point. It cracks me up but it would be R or X rated if sung in a movie.
I joke that I must have Tourettes. Any other seemingly mild-mannered people out there turn into angry, furious, frothy, cursing biker people when startled?
That's really funny..... Actually, people really think its odd when I lash out at them--especially because I'm not the type that gets angry easily, or displays any type of aggression. But then they startle me, and I'm completely different from the sweet girl they thought I was :-)
