Radio Free Worksite

A workman paints my garage.
    The boss prohibited his workers from listening to radios while on the job. They were three men. They painted my house last week.
    Past experiences brought about the ‘no radios’ policy. The boss had received criticism from customers. They objected to profanity blasting from painters’ radios. The painters had listened to hip hop and rap.
    It’s easy to assume that swearing is pervasive in our culture. Television shows perpetuate this assumption. Often, actors utter dialogue that is laced with profanity.
    But in reality, lots of people object to profanity.
