Whether you swear regularly or not, there are some things in life that always make your utter the odd profanity or at least begin to before opting for a more polite “sugar” or “for goodness’ sake.”
These are just 10 of those occasions…
1. Standing on an upturned plug
There is no other pain like it.
2. Stubbing your toe
Cue grabbing your toe and falling to the ground.
3. Getting a paper cut
How can something so small be so painful?

4. Missing the bus by a millisecond
You’ve done all that running for the bus driver to shut the door in your face. Nice.
5. Burning yourself
It might take a moment for you to realise but you will realise.
6. Drinking something too hot
You’ve got two options: spit it out and swear or swallow it and swear.
7. Biting your lip
The lesson to learn here is to eat slower.
8. Getting something in your eye
Perfume, shower gel, chilli powder – it’s never good.
9. Slipping down a stair
You thought your life was over.
10. Losing something on your computer
Now your life is over.
