    Default politically incorrect

    I work in a fairly politically incorrect work place. Mostly blokes so that's not a problem. I wonder though does anyone think that their behaviour/language should be modified when there are woman around?

    In our office we are very non politically correct. The one with the biggest potty mouth who swears constantly is a female.

    No they shouldn't. That said, most females these days are worse than blokes. I know of 3 in one customer we deal with that have been sacked for looking at porn while working? wtf?

    Politically correct though is bull**** and is destroying this country. Best thing women can do is get back in the bloody kitchen.

    Political correctness, oh how I hate thee.

    Since I work in a workshop we don't have to pretend to be nice to customers, nor each other We've got an Egyptian guy named Farouk who is always good for a camel joke hehe.

    I've always been a supporter of gender equality. What you can say to a bloke, you should be able to say to a woman

    Yeah, I can relate to that.Poor old Hamed from Afghanistan always cops the camel jokes here. He's a good sport though, and gives as good as he gets.

    I had to laugh the other day. We have a very quiet Egyptian lady here. The type that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. I sprung her telling a dirty joke to another worker. I don't know who was more embarressed, me or her

    I don't know about anyone else, but I never modify my language when I'm in the kitchen, the laundry or the bedroom...

    I used to work on site, in the underground mines.

    Now I have moved into the consulting world in the city.

    Everyone else here is from a mine site as well, so even though we are all dressed corporate style, the language remains the same hehe.

    My girlfriend gave up trying to stop me swearing

    I dont think behaviour should chage just because a woman enters the room. As far as swearing goes I think everyone has heard it before its not going to hurt my gentle heart

    In my opinion, It depends the situation, and what is actually being said...in one breath, swearing and behaviour shouldn't need to be changed (it's not the 1800's anymore) although in the other breath, some of the things the guys at work say 1) Shouldn't be said around ladies, and 2) Shouldn't even be said at all...But each to their own...I change the way I am around each and every person, if I'm around someone that doesn't like swearing and what not, then I wont...

    political madness - i have an official Human Resources written warning (framed at home) for saying FEA - the warning states that i am not allowed to say the letters F and E and A in the workplace - outstanding office environment full of winners just like me...we had meetings and stuff and witnesses and i refused to say what the letter F stood for - said i couldn't remember.

    Some birds are worse then us blokes. I don't reckon any language needs to be changed really. Unless it's your nan - then fair enough.

    Nothing better then a bunch of blokes and sheilas giving each other some gob. And what does FEA mean?
