How to Talk/Deal with Someone Who Uses Profanity

There are polite people and then there are the profane individuals. We have most always encountered the cursing person and wanted to deal with them in a correct way. My personal experience can direct you how to talk to someone who uses profanity.

Instructions

1. Dealing with someone or Talking to those who use profanity can be different depending on where you are. If you are in your own home it is acceptable that you inform the person who is using profanity, to know that language is not acceptable in your house. Explain about your suggested guidelines and ask them to not use that language when they are in your home.

2. When you are in someone else's house, you can recommend they do not use the profanity while you are present. This is a point to be mentioned when you first hear foul language being used. If they continue to use language that is offensive to you, your children or your spouse you can further talk to them too. Ask them if they would prefer if you leave? You can then say you will not stay with the profanity that is being used in your presence.

3. In a public place such as a restaurant or cafe, talk to the waiter, ask for the maitre de or manager. Ask the supervisor or person in charge to either move you and your party to another, more comfortable table and tell that owner or person in charge of the reason you are asking that favor. Be loud enough so the offensive person knows they have disrupted your pleasant surroundings. Since it is not your property, do not talk to the profane person yourself, but let the owner deal with him or her.

4. In a grocery store or department, when you hear profanity, leave the area where that person is talking. Try to avoid another meeting with them in the store. If there is security in the store, inform them of the circumstances. If you leave because of the profanity, tell security that is the reason you are leaving the establishment.

5. In a private or company meeting you have rights to not be subjected to profanity. Refuse to remain in the meeting if the profanity continues. Offer that the person who is talking foul language be excused immediately.
