Look, we've all been in this situation: you're out an about and something unfortunate happens, be it you bang your elbow or your toe off something, or maybe you get some bad news.
And you let out a word that you usually are comfortable in shouting, but you might not be in an appropriate place.
Usually, you could get away with it - but there are some out there who are like Ned Flanders and won't have a bold word said anywhere.
Which brings us to this Irish person online.
They were out on a run to the shop and let one loose, but there was one very unhappy gentleman who picked up on it.
Reddit user Lamake91 explained the situation, saying: "I was grabbing a few bits in the local shop earlier, my hands were pretty full and I dropped my keys and subconsciously said the word sh**out loud.
"A father who was nearby turned to me and said “Siúcra, you mean Siúcra. We don’t like when people curse near the kids”
"The kids were about 8 and 10.. I didn’t even know what to say back, I was shocked.
"I wouldn’t intentionally curse in front of kids but I didn’t even notice them and it was just a natural reaction. Great if you don’t want to curse in front of your kids but it’s a bit much to expect complete strangers not too? Besides given how old the kids were I’m assuming they’re well aware of “bad words” by now.
"This was a rant but I now feel it’s turned into an AITA post."
This led to a debate in the comments, which meant a few hilarious tales from fellow Irish folk.
"His kids probably think Suicra is the Irish for Sh**e. Just reminded me of when my dad would be caught like that, when Sugar was more appropriate then Sh**e. He's say Sugary S***balls. Ahh, I miss him, great character." said one person.
While another chimed in with "You've reminded me a story with my kid - he was few years old by then, playing with his granny. He was building Lego and construction just dropped so he said passionately "Holy s**t". Grandma being great and patient tied to explain to him that s**t is a bad word and he shouldn't use it. He was really sorry so granny asked why is he using such a bad word, and his reply still with a very sad apologetic face was "I'm sorry grandma, I was just fuc*ing pissed". Granny face was priceless."
A third said: "I teach my kid that it's not the words that are bad, it's how people use them can be bad. By making a big deal out of the words you just make them more prominent and memorable."
