Some people can just get away with some stuff while others can't.

I had a coworker who could say whatever she wanted to and not get into any trouble. She said one time "I ain't sucking **** to become manager." When the manager was literally in the breakroom. I'm not sure my coworker saw her. All the manager said was "and thats why your not a manager."

I casually called my cat an asshole one time and everyone was like "did you just swear?!" I didn't get in trouble but it made its way around the store that Mountaindewed had said a mild swear word.
