I swore in the playground at primary school, and a dinner lady overheard me. She gave me a hard time, and presumed that I was one of the troublemakers, when in actual fact, it was the first time I'd ever been told off at that particular school. I became quite upset with myself, and I honestly couldn't believe that I'd said something quite so terrible to another school friend. I can only presume that the bad influence of the other children (namely the ones who swore all the time) had rubbed off onto me somehow.

Nice thread, Cap'n.
