Flippin’ heck.
It takes the patience of a saint to remain calm when you’re having a stressful day in work, but even the calmest among us has let out a swear word or two at the desk.
Unsurprisingly, the results of a recent survey carried out by British telecoms firm 4Com shows that office workers find it REALLY difficult to go very long without cursing.
It found that office workers swear approximately 55 times a week. 55!
The study also revealed that middle management use bad language the most, while those working in catering swear the least. Sound lads.
Just 19% of people surveyed said they try to never swear around colleagues, with only 3% of interns and work experience employees using swear words in the workplace.
‘Fuck’ is the most commonly-used swear word in British offices, with ‘shit’ coming in at second place. You know, the classics.
That being said, this list is classing ‘piss off’, ‘arse’ and ‘twat’ as swear words, so they’re being a bit soft if you ask us. You’d hear worse at mass.
Most swearing is said to be linked to anger, so when something really grinds your gears, take a long deep breath before reacting.
And if all else fails…
