If I overhear something disgusting, I do not believe I have to confront the offender in any fashion, Rather I believe I can just go to management and say this has to end. Two other points: one instance of foul language is not a pattern, and deserves forgiveness. It is also true that F this and F that is a lot milder than FU. | |

You can't use vulgar words (like the F-word) because it's ‘hostile work environment’? Many times I did hear it from colleagues, and it didn't annoy me, and I wouldn't complain about them. They "dropped the bomb" while chitchatting, no big deal (to me at least) ie: 'That f*** coffee machine is out of order again!'. If meant while talking about someone, that would be different though | |

Of course, racism or sexism are quite easy to point out, but many offensive words/chat are offensive only to some persons, and won't be labeled as forbidden. That's why I'm warning OP to be very careful | |

It does not relate to your perfectly valid right not to like it. It’s illegal in the US. Does not even matter that they’re just joking, didn’t know anyone objected, speaking the truth | |
