I'll start off by saying I'm not a huge fans of civilians.My son ain't bad,but he's too young to join a military,so I wont hold it against him.
However I now also work in an area with a high amount of civilian employees in our smoking area.Try thinking about the image you represent when their around.Not that they never seen army guys before,or their husband/dad isn't some high ranking member who comes home from a field ex speaking the same way.
I guarantee their ears are not pure.
However I myself tend to swear too much at times of excitement,or when I'm looking for a word to spit out.Not comparable to most people who make themselves sound f*ing stupid with the amount of swearing they work into a sentence.
If I was you in your situation I would have apologised and shut up and ignored her.Being a human she was most likely looking for either
*attention*- be it negative (an insult towards her for her comment)
-or Postive (apologising) Which would lead to a conversation about why she doesn't like the word.And her wilddays with 80's hair in a brothel in Germany.(that song "glory days" comes to mind)
*Something to bitch about*
*Something she can e mail someone about and make herself look important*
This is the new CF hockey replacement.It has become evident a man/woman can make themselves seem very important by forwarding Emails.With a little FYI attached.Heck throw some idea on the top and your promoted!...I'm sure it works for civilians as well.
Believe me I can picture the woman your talking about.About 100 lbs over weight,hair cut short with a little 80'swang bang bright almost neon coloured clothing and the stench of some bottle of perfume that comes in 20L jerrycans for $4.95.
My best advice apologise,and ignore.People absolutely despise being given a cold shoulder."Yes sir/maam" "No maam/sir"
However you were wrong in swearing in a public place when it all boils down and she charges you or harassment.Easier to apologise sometimes and cover your ass.
